  • That is not the true scotsman fallacy though. I never said they aren't Christians, i said that they are about as christian as, implying that they lack the qualities associated with it. Also i'm not a christian.

  • If you read the fallacy you'd realize that you fell into the false fallacy fallacy.

    To quote your linked article:

    No true Scotsman or appeal to purity is an informal fallacy in which one attempts to protect their generalized statement from a falsifying counterexample by excluding the counterexample improperly.[1][2][3] Rather than abandoning the falsified universal generalization or providing evidence that would disqualify the falsifying counterexample, a slightly modified generalization is constructed ad-hoc to definitionally exclude the undesirable specific case and similar counterexamples by appeal to rhetoric.

    There is plenty of countries with a christian background and still majority christian population, that wouldn't even think to discuss such absurd policies. American nutjobs cannot be considered to be representative of christianity as a whole. Much of their nutjobbery is specific to them.

  • Nope. That would be the orthodox christians you still find sprinkled around Palestine and Syria. The catholics are already roman "lets stabilize our empire with mixing religion and poltiics" brand of christians.

  • And everyone who is part of that administration should be called out for it by the people and try in Den-Hague for the genocide.

  • Lets not pretend like white supremacy isn't in open support for genociding brown people and western governments being full of closeted white supremacists

  • Better send the SWAT to everyone who has any picture of any dusty substance. After all it might just be tainted cocaine!

  • It is not stealing if you declared it your land 50 years ago.

  • Because some of these actions might qualify as criminal offenses and if Discord had knowledge about it or even supported it, they'd be complicit.

  • These kind of "Christians" are about as christian as the people from Sodom.

    That doesn't make it right to fuck things up for everyone else.

  • Seizing assets in a civil case is not the same as searching with a warrant and it must not be conflated. Evidence must only be obtained in a lawful manner with the appropriate warrants. Now if something pops up by chance while seizing his assets that's nice. But the instrument shouldn't be misused for that.

  • Because you end up with tens of thousands of pages of text to display and yet not being able to fairly represent every religion.

  • Because public schools are a place for all children to be educated.

    As children from every faith, ethnicity or cultural group should have equal access to education public schools should be an environment, where all children feel safe and comfortable. That requires a neutrality that cannot be achieved if there is symbols of one religion plastered all over the place, in the same way it cannot be achieved if the children are demanded or pressured to pledge allegiance to a nation state and its flag every day.

    This is not to say that children shouldn't be encouraged to talk about these aspects of their identity in a respectful manners. Also the school should do its best to respect practising childrens rights.

  • And did i say anywhere that its texts should cover the walls of public schools? Of course i didn't. Also abrahamic religions have many overlaps so contextualising them with each other is a good way to gain a deeper understanding. Given the importance of religion it is always good to learn about them, even if one doesn't share the faith.

  • Result of gender stereotypes affecting the behaviour of female and male children, so male children grow up to be more encouraged to learn about technology and engage in risk taking behaviour.

    Also inclination to risk taking behaviour is much higher in biological men than biological women, which would also give a potential reason why this advertisment works on women but not on men.

    As always these attributions only represent the average of the women and men populations as a whole. Ofc. there is risk averse men and tech savvy women.

  • i thought he was munching it into shape so it would fit the floppy drive.

  • I'm sorry, that i worded it poorly then. I only meant to critise those that demand the ten commandments or any other biblical text to be plastered over public schools.
