    If you call yourself an atheist conservative, you are basically just telling everyone that you are evil. You don’t hate trans people because you fear eternity in hell or some shit, you are just trash.

    ‘Atheist Conservatives’ are as mythological as a petrohyherodron.

        I knew a conservative atheist. I didn’t realize he was conservative when I met him. But when he started attacking a progressive Christian friend of mine on a Facebook post I made, talking about the “woke mind virus,” I unfriended his ass real quick.

        There are people from every ideological background who are suckers and fall for shit. Atheists are not some perfect paragon of intellect and virtue.

      I mean it may be but I know a guy who considers himself a militant atheist and proudly parrots all of those points. He’s been screeching about the evil Democrats on Facebook for months. Absolutely insufferable.

    I met so many conservative rural people who were convinced that universities were just liberal indoctrination centers. Never put two brain cells together that by being around other people from different backgrounds and cultures you learn to respect those differences - you know - liberal values.

      And being forced to back up your arguments with actual evidence, not whatever idiocy your friends and social media are telling you.

    the one above the blue is too funny… ‘…government appointments will be selected according to merit’.

    by what criteria? who gives better head? who has putin on a 1-button speed dial? or actual qualifications and successful experience?

    Looks like there’s gonna be a whole lot of kids with irregularly healed fractures and complications of tonsillitis.
