It's serious time. He's preaching the word of god. No need for flashy colours when you can use ambiguous and essentially meaningless prose.

It is funny that the biggest fans of capitalism are the biggest complainers of the things capitalism has destroyed, like the church, traditional family, national identity, etc, etc.

often it's an odd romanticism for an ideal of life that never existed prior to it, during it or after it.
and at times it's wishes to retain a social structure that moved itself.
those who tout "tradition" and other gods of the olde should acquintance themselves with them.

I don't bother with the color when from my phone.

Secondly, I'm not preaching the word of any god.

I really think we need to stop positing "studies" in these forums with terrible methodology and questionable data.


Let's first stop referring to a study's methods as "methodology."

Pretty sure I've never said 'kill all christians'. That's a myth about me started by the people who disagree with my opinions on their religion. I've never advocated killing all christians.

But even so... if I said 'kill all nazis' or 'kill all Islamic State Members' would you still be calling me intolerant?


I think the bolded is incorrect. You have said things like that which imo were either sarcasm or trolling. However your views are extreme enough and your vigor to eliminate religion (not religious people) can be misconstrued as a violent message.

That coupled with your propensity to condemn many acts other people see as outside the religious spectrum as having religious basis more than likely skew others view of you.

I however understand that you are both a socially ostracized individual and simultaneously intelligent enough to know the world 500 years from now will likely be devoid of your greatest enemy (religion). However your disconnect with modern day life on this issue will distance you from others in the same way that people who wish the Renaissance fair was real life are distanced. The validity of many of your claims are untestable and the realization of your goals will come centuries after your death.

Interesting point of view.

I wouldn't say I'm socially ostracised in the least though... The UK just isn't a very religious society at all. I make no claims that are untestable, I only offer opinions and I generally (when speaking seriously) will back up those opinions with facts and figures but still specify that they are opinions or conclusions I have reached based on factual data. As for my goals... I would definitely not say it is a goal of mine to eradicate religion. Not that I don't want to see it die out but that I know I won't be able to remove it from the world myself or in my lifetime. My only goal when speaking about religion is to bring alternative views to the subject that may cause a few people to think a little more critically about what they believe.

So yea... interesting point of view. Wholly inaccurate but interesting nonetheless.
