It would be interesting to see him go in on Muslims on Ramadan but he probably wants to keep his head on his body. I would also like to see him go in on Jews on Yom Kippur but he probably wants to keep working in television media. Christians make an easy target these days so that is why they are getting that work. He knows he will get nothing but some hate mail from the KKK hypocrites along with some angry tweets from soccer moms. If I had his platform and wanted to push people to do a double take on Christianity, I would use the many contradictions between the old and new testaments as well as white imperialism as a starting point. The rest flows from there but this guy comes off as a mocker and probably drives people deeper into their backward ideas.

Why do you guys equate Ramadan and Yom Kippur to Christmas?

He doesn't know if a god exists (like me): agnostic
He doesn't believe a god exists (like me): atheist

That's agnostic-atheism

He just says what Bill Nye says, I believe in science and the provable.

He just doesn't like the term. None of us do.

So you are both a republican and democrat? Idiot Savant? Gay and Not Gay? Actually I might be right about this one for you.

I've asked you to bring forth the claims you said were debunked and provided nothing.

1)Who is "you guys"? Define your terms.

2)Three Abarahamic religions, three important periods to practitioners of their respective faiths during the year; only one of them gets ridiculed by the scientific community on any kind of basis in the US. I took a guess about why that was.

I gave you a link.

And secondly. atheism and agnosticism aren't opposite each other, they're mutually exclusive and answer different questions:

theism is what you believe

gnosticism is what you know

the prefix = "A" means a lack of, or a negation of

therefore I: do not know if a god exists (agnosticism), but I do not have sufficient evidence to believe in one (atheism)

Does not mean that I believe no god exists.

I got your link which nitpicks certain scriptures but just like many books back then...some shyt is a metaphor. Also Atheism and Agnostic aren't the same. I already said Atheism is a religion in itself.

Because they belong to three abrahamic religions does not make them equal. That doesn't even begin to make sense. Notice nobody is shytting on Easter right now. So I'll ask you again…...

Again - why do you equate the specific period called Ramadan and the specific period called Yom Kippur to the specific period called Christmas?

What about the events makes them equal?

If atheism is a religion, what are its tenets?

Who said anything about equality?

Why do you not specify what you meant by "You guys"?

:mindblown: You brought up Ramadan and Yom Kippur and said he wouldn't say anything about those events. You started off using a false equivalency.

I said "you guys" because you and others seem content on using this false equivalency. It's pretty obvious none of you guys actually know what Yom Kippur or Ramadan is.
