‘Two wrongs make a right’

What did an avg. Christian do who works 9-5, barely makes up enough money to support his family and kids, to be a called a pedophile, just the fact that he prays to a god? I love lemmy but All civil discussion is lost when you go against the majority opinion, which ironically enough is the exact same thing that fascist right wingers do, but ofc it’s not the same thing

Middle Ground Fallacy. Just because two sides exist does not mean the truth is somewhere in the middle. There are issues where one side is objectively right. Supporting the side that is wrong does not make you a advocate for civility; it makes you wrong.

Now, could there be more polite discussion? Sure. Does that mean anti-theists should allow religion to further taint our politics, rights, and conversation? Absolutely not.

GTFO of here with this bullshit.

That’s indeed very rude behavior towards your hypothetical person.

Are you legitimately calling antiracism and antifascism a "wrong" just so you can take this "enlightened centrist" approach? What the fuck. Again, extremism isn't a bad thing in and of itself, it depends on what you're being extremist about. Being extremely antiracist? Good. Being extremely racist? Extremely bad.

The average Christain who works 9-5, barely makes enough money to support his family and kids, is also homophobic, transphobic, racist, and sexist. It is the minority among religious people to take the correct approach.

I am not blaming religious people, but Religion itself.
