    “cutting off people’s pinkies will reduce global warming”

    “People with missing pinkies contribute just as much to global warming”

    “Do they really though? Provide some evidence. And if true do you have a better solution to reduce global warming?”

    People don’t need to have an alternative plan ready to go in order to point out that yours is ineffective.

        I don’t think whether people are religious or secular is a relevant metric for people, animals, or the planet. Shitty people exist in both groups and will be shitty regardless.

          well, one path is based on reason and logic. the other is based on fairy tales. which path is more likely to produce the best result?

            Anti - vaxxers are based on fairy tales but claim to be based on reason and logic. Religion is not the problem, education is.

                Man you give up quick when the effective solution isn’t attacking religion. Makes me suspect that your actual motivation may not be ending bigotry, but rather furthering your own bigotry. (Shocking, I know)

                  didn’t give up. i just don’t think you were arguing in good faith. what reason do you have to defend religion?

                    If someone argued that the way to stop bigotry was to make sure everyone was vaccinated I’d argue against that too, because it’s irrelevant to what is happening and won’t fix it.
