I was taughy any sentence fragment between commas is added, yet not vital, information to a sentence, capable of being removed without taking away any crucial information conveied.
It fits the rules.
And, commas also act as a way to convey the rithym you intend your sentences to be read.
I have a really hard time reading english and not feel rushed to do it.
There is being atheist and there is being anti-theist.
The way you express yourself, it seems you lean more into the second. Which I find intriguing because in order to be anti-theist, you first need to give any value to the theist claims.
As you do seem very invested in supporting and uplifting those that are wronged by a creed, why do you opt to attack any and all believer, by default, instead of trying to find people that share your exact concerns?
It doesn't matter if someone takes Santa Claus, the Krampus, the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy as real or if they hold the hope of meeting again their loved ones after they die. People are here, today, living, breathing, suffering.
The bending and changing of those same "holy" precepts is what allows people to diverge abd evolve the way they understand others and the world.
Anti-theism fell out of favour in the 2010's. Too much vitriol. Reason does not cancel hope and dreams but it should cancel hollow arguments, including those reason itself raises.
Those can be some of the worst individuals in the church, and some of the best, at the same time.
There are incredibly forward thinking, humanist and humane individuals acting as local parish priests, individuals that entered the ranks for personal calling and devotion, doing their best to push back on backwards thought and belief on "pious" communities. Those should garner wide support, when it is the exact opposite that happens, with usually the most reprobate and closed minded individuals being seen as "good" priest and thus rising in the ranks, to keep the status quo, one generation after the other.
Institutions are made of people. That man did little but achieved something to move the creed in a better direction. Most just tend to small affairs or outright go for even more dogmatic understandings of outdated subjects, which by itself drives away more people.
Now that I think about it, as reading or being knowledgeable of what any "holy" book holds is the best way to create atheists, maybe those are doing the best job.
You are hard pressed to be more of an atheist than I am.
You expect dogma to be nullified with a snap of finger? Even more when that same dogma is taken from the book on which the creed is built upon?
As if people require any sort of excuse to shun and persecute those who are different.
I find it more important countries to codify into law the right for anyone, regardless gender or sexual orientation, to enjoy the same rights, including marriage if so they choose but like it or not, a man forcing that small change into a monolithic, organized, religion is something to be recognized.
I once tried to delete something I was not supposed to and the system was quite adamant on advising against it. The system was to be reinstalled so I was just trying things.
It's been a while but I recall the system giving me a first warning that my command woud delete X, Y and Z, which could render the system inoperable.
Then it questioned me if I was sure I wanted to proceed with the operation.
The final warning was a sum of the potential damage I would do to the system and that it would be irreversible, without a full system install.
Isn't that a japanese thing? With cafes where you go to talk with a person?
But back to the subject at hand.
I could see this as a way to get someone's help to take some groceries home or some large object a single person can't, as it is too akward to hold alone.
Or as a personal guide or to have company to go to/through somewhere someone does not feel comfortable.
Nobody can pay me enough for me to carry their logo as free publicity.
I wear logoed clothing because the logo acts as identification and grants me special acess to fenced off areas, which I otherwise wouldn't be able to lawfully acess. But when the clock is off, the logo is off.
I don't say this much but that is actually a good idea, considering the amount of people that live very lonely and isolated lives. Maybe this can help some people to talk, enjoy another's company, etc. Maybe. Everything else the effing internet and tech companies tried only managed to push people apart...
I think it is mandatory. There is a very precise rite to declare a pope as deceased.
