I mean. They're doubling down on stupid i think it's fair to call them out on it. In order to follow most organized religion, you are taught to kill critical thinking and have faith. It's literally a part of the whole thing
You’re in a thread that literally is about churches not going along with homophobic takes. People keep saying “religious people should stand up against the bigots” and because they are in the example, you have bigots splitting off. And then turn around and insult the intelligence of said religious people still.
Who really is the person showing a lack of critical thinking skills? I’d argue the one whose take lacks any nuance.
It's about one small group. And one that couldn't stop being taken over by assholes and has a schism because the more conversative left.
I have done a lot of research and could have a nuanced discussion. I don't think claiming people who have negative options are "2010 Atheists" is the bit of a bigot in this case. I think religion has enough people carrying water who were just raised in it and don't think critically.
