I think they're lashing out. Coal is very harmful to the environment and to other people. They should pick a less violent hobby.

Yeah, it really is. Because modlog actions are federated and irreversible, mod logs are a form of speech that cannot be suppressed in any way. If you search up a user, you see what every mod on the whole fediverse has to say about them, and there's no way to argue back. It's the perfect tool for harassment and doxxing. One of the db0 admins even tried (and did a bad job) to dox me using the modlog.

Speak for yourself. I'm asexual and a virgin as far as genitals and orifices go. I'm a virgin partner and I'm answering someone's honest question about whether people like me are a fetish. We're not, we're queer people. You want to call me an incel for being queer, fuck off.

I'm definitely an enthusiastic sex haver if we're counting chaos magick tho.

It's called being asexual and it's not a fetish. Although some ace people do be wild

You're changing the subject. While the OP is about christianity, this little subthread is about whether someone can lose their belief in atheism. Nobody in this subthread mentioned christianity until you did, and nobody in this subthread is a christian. I would appreciate some good faith engagement instead of changing the subject to those other guys over there we both hate. You hate em, I hate em, let's get over it and actually have a fruitful discussion.

You're saying you don't believe in a system of atheism. I'm taking this to mean you don't have any beliefs asserting your atheism. So if I accused you of not being an atheist, you wouldn't deny it, right? Cause you don't believe anything about you being an atheist. There are no beliefs you possess for me to challenge if I call you a theist, correct? You'd go along with it or hold a neutral view?

So you don't believe you're an atheist? If I accused you of unknowingly believing in a god, you wouldn't deny it?

Everyone who wants non-political anything is a closet racist.

But buying a burger is the same as torturing animals for fun. Meat isn't fun for the slaughterhouse worker, it's fun for the customer. And the customer is the one making the whole operation happen. All the money comes from the customers.

you don’t torture animals if you’re a sane stable individual

Except that there are plenty of neurotypical slaughterhouse workers. That said, the toll working in a slaughterhouse takes on a person's mental health is beyond what I would wish on my worst enemy. Taking lives all day every day, sometimes not hitting right and watching the animal suffer before you hit it again, being surrounded by all that death, the severed cow heads in the bins staring lifelessly back at you as if in accusation... that fucks a person up. That turns mentally healthy men into the kind troubled enough to attempt suicide. But they are, most of them, when they start working, mentally healthy. Studies have tracked the mental health of towns before and after a slaughterhouse opened and started offering jobs. Violent crime went up. Spousal abuse went up. Drug problems went up. Those workers were okay, and they took a job society says isn't that bad, is necessary, and it ruined them. Turned them into the kind of men who would beat their wives, because you have to become a violent and dangerous person in order to survive working a job like that.

And the person forking over their ten dollars to McDonald's for a Big Mac is financing all that suffering. That person is not mentally ill, they are doing what society says is completely acceptable and normal. But it isn't.

Yes, that's why I feel the same way about you that you feel about this man.

You're not speaking ancient Greek, mate, you're speaking English, and your use is informed by the history of the English language. The use of Nar******t in pop culture is largely informed by Christopher Lach's 1979 book The Culture Of Narcissism, which made the argument that contemporary American culture was normalising clinical NPD. You didn't learn to call people nar******ts by reading ancient Greek myths, and I know that for a fact because the ancient greeks didn't go around using the word. To them, it was just some guy's name. You learned the word from someone who learned the word from someone who learned the word from Lasch's book, and from the ableist books that came after. Your folk etymology explanation that the pop culture use comes directly from Greek is missing a lot of important and relevant intermediate steps.
