I'm not arguing with you about logic, what would be the point? From my perspective it's like arguing with someone who thinks Lord of the Rings is based on real true story, which would be rather ridiculous endeavor.

Sure, what ever helps you sleep at night my crazy friend.

Nope, not every christian is a hardcore christian fundamentalist.

This guy believes in literal satan and jesus. Don't even try logic and reason, he is to far gone.

Woa, never met anyone who actually took Christianity that literal. That must be a wild experience to believe in literal devil and god, sin and all that stuff - that's a trip and a half. Kind of speechless - that's just wild.

Wait dude, I just realized - do you also believe in the literal Satan?

Sure, you can add your response to Mohamed and why do you think that a perspective denying individual influence on human history is useful over there.

But every time writing was invented it had to be invented by a specific dude or a small group of dudes. It did not just come to be out of thin air, someone had to invent it and someone had to popularize it. And so with enlightenment - someone (maybe we don't even know her name) has to come up with an idea and others, whose names we know have to popularize it.

I get that you are saying that it might have been another person (or small group), sure - but in the end it has to be someone.

I gave you a good example in another reply. But we can also go deeper - Mohamed, with his freestyle jam on bible, to this day has rather big influence on society. It's a rather strange and honestly depressing perspective to deny individuals any role in history.

What do you mean? It's always a specific person or a specific small group that comes up with ideas that are later popularized. Like you can pinpoint evolution theory to a small group of biologists with Darwin and Huxley at their forefront.

Dude it's a fun question from the sorts of who is stronger Superman or Goku. But even outside of that - it's hard to deny that some individuals had more impact on the course of our society than others.

It's sexualizing children in the same way as daddy porn sexualizes incest, you are taking fantasies at their literal face value without looking into what's going on.

So you don't have ideas in your head about the world that affect how you interact with the world? Might be true for you, but I would say it's not an universal experience. Also I don't say it's juts ideas but ideas are part of our psychology.

And people are often governed or motivated by ideas.

Thanks for existing, you are great advertisement for atheism, keep up the good work.

That is a funny perspective, I somehow like it.

Sultan Mehmed II

That's the dude who fought Dracula? Didn't know he was involved with enlightenment any sources to read up on it?

Edgy.

But if you think the internet and social media as the continuation of that tradition - maybe that was a mistake after all. /s

Someone forgot to tell that to religions.
