telling someone they are going to burn in hell for their religion/atheism would also be anti-religious and should be treated as such :)

this was actually a surprise/something of a mandela effect to me too?! like i swear these were usually called stampedes, just like with animals, but apparently “crowd crush” is in fact the more common term 😅 the more you know 🌈

…and that feels equivalent to me.

wholeheartedly agree, and i would call it out just as i did here. :) either way, such a statement is quite offensive and irresponsible behavior to come from a leader of the “world news” community.

it’s always a storm to see .world accounts log on and tell me off for being off topic… in 196 of all places😄

With emphasis, no, it’s shitty people who happen to be atheist who are the problem. :) Just to clarify, because I would never make that first statement.

“the silliest thing to claim without evidence or explanation of any sort”

You are right, I left a lot implied because my sentiment is a fairly common one. But fair to point out—my apologies. Here is a citation showing that I am far from the first person to hold this opinion on r/atheism.

Note again that I don’t hold any prejudice against any belief system; I only hold that r/atheism in particular historically fostered a culture of toxicity which makes anti-religious prejudice and personal attacks more common compared to offline spaces.

i know this isn’t a genuine question and you mean this just to clap back and be unkind,

but for those interested i am working on it :) trying to figure something out because i also recognize this is suboptimal

yes as of July 4, 1776 this holds true (possibly slightly before, not a historian)

everyone is kind of giving snarky answers with a couple helpful tidbits in between but the true answer is:

trump is polling well. current polling indicates that trump is doing good enough at what is expected of him, which at the moment is simply running a campaign that will beat the democratic candidate.

people only really start calling for dropping out en masse when polls start to significantly falter because it’s an indication that the candidate is no longer running a competitive campaign.

what if you logged on to the internet and were kind

No, but “I may die in a stupid way (but not as stupid as these religious people who were trampled to death because of a dust storm)” is anti-religious.

r/atheism and its consequences have been disastrous to the traditional practice of being a decent human being online

thank u

i don’t think 196 listens to chappell given the response so far :( oh well

Ooh! What context can I add? Obviously I want to make this post as effective as possible and don’t want to mislead folks but I recognize I have proximity bias.

Thanks :)

i would say “serious” comments on 196 are are rather the norm than the exception
