The Violence From The Left Thread

Quote: missedhervee

The beautiful thing is that it seems every year the USA gets more and more secular, more and more folks reject this god nonsense and embrace atheism.

The Christian right is screaming their last hurrah.

Good riddance.

You had better look closer at the next generation, they are actually getting a bit more religious. They are against theophobic bigots like yourself. It is why Turning Point is expanding all over.

per google / AI:

"The percentage of U.S. adults identifying as Christian has dropped from 78% in 2007 to 62% in 2024, according to a Pew Research Center report.  Religious unaffiliation: The number of Americans who are religiously unaffiliated (a group that includes atheists, agnostics, and those who say "nothing in particular") has been growing, reaching 30% of the U.S. population. The importance of religion has also decreased across all age groups, with the largest declines seen in senior citizens,"

If you want to consider Islamic based violence ‘right wing’, go for it. But the rest of us don’t care what you consider it. As a concept, it aligns with the regular left wing violence we see. I wonder if Omar and Tlaib consider their views ‘right wing’?

Too many right-wingers believe in justice without picking out who in fact is responsible for the violence. That's not real justice btw. The ACLU is leftwing, and it defends people based on actual rights of individuals. I support real justice which means I sometimes support people almost everyone hates.

As Gendler said, all Muslims are no more alike than all Christians. It has a more probable bent towards violence, but individual justices is still what matters for all.

I freaking despise Nazis but they have the same enforceable rights. If you don't agree than you don't believe in real rights enforcement. Doesn't mean I support their violence also.

...adding to my last post. I love and support what was said about that Tucker Carlson interview. "Just because one has the right to free speech; doesn't mean you need to grant him a giant megaphone." concerning Nick Fuentes interview.

Per Google/AI:

Yes, some data indicates that young people, particularly Gen Z and millennials, are becoming more religious, which is causing a turnaround in previously declining religious engagement. This resurgence is especially pronounced among young men, who are showing increased commitment to faith and church attendance. While young women may still be spiritual, some data points to higher rates of disaffiliation among them compared to previous generations.

Sorry, theophobe.

AI Overview
No, young Americans are not becoming increasingly religious overall; however, recent trends suggest a stabilization or slight reversal of the previous decline, particularly among young men, while young women continue to disaffiliate from religion. Some studies indicate a rise in religious affiliation and belief among Gen Z, with young men showing a more significant increase in religiosity than young women.

A trickle ain't a tidal wave, women have always had more sense than men.

We need more atheists. It's sad how many people I know are atheists, but for whatever reason are afraid of admitting it, and take the cowardly "I am agnostic." Atheist means nothing other than you don't believe in a god, if you are unsure, you are not actively believing in a god, hence atheist.

I would absolutely LOVE IT if there were in fact a god and and afterlife, but SCIENCE, that damned SCIENCE says "demand proof."

I trust SCIENCE, and there is a complete lack of proof of the existence of god.

Oh sure, there are still many unanswered questions, e.g. how did matter and energy get created in the first place, how can something ALWAUYS have existed?

Yes, you have faith: faith is belief without reason.

There is no "proof", genius. That is why it is called "faith." Fact is there is far more reason to believe there is than there isn't. Life forming in the first place is the biggest one.

Science explains how life could and probably did start.

Makes a lot more sense than this Adam and Eve nonsense, apples, serpents, arks...bunch of bullshit.

Faith is belief without reason, a crutch.

By your thinking there is just as much likelihood that the Easter Bunny exists as does god.

But hey...choose your delusion, and go political with it...that's the MAGA way.
