The data I'm looking at says only 55% of people are even monotheistic. Where are you getting that 5 billion number from?

I thought this was going to be a passing comment blown way out of proportion, but no. He literally said that and meant it. What the fuck is wrong with this place.

You can say that to any argument regardless of how accurate it is. To prove I have misrepresented your point, you have to show how I did that. Simply saying I did does not add anything of value to this conversation.

it is possible I misunderstood what you were saying, or you wrote something unintentionally misleading. If this is the case, please elaborate and explain where the misunderstanding occurred. Until then, I'm going to assume your accusation is simply a method of making yourself look correct without actually having to come up with an argument.

I think it pretty much has a lot to do with being an atheist, although I guess you consider those the ultimate antisemites as well for seeing the world outside of a fictional religious shell.

If you think Jews should not be allowed in positions of power, you are an antisemite. I literally could not give less of a shit what you believe in. I've been an atheist for most of my life, and I'm not an antisemite.

The peaceful religion I'm referring to is Judaism, the religion thats entire point is to spread good. Before you point out instances of Jews doing terrible things, I am aware that they are capable of wrongdoing like every other group of people.

think it's pretty clear not only what religion I'm referring to, but what branched off sects and eventually separate religions I'm referring to.

So are you referring to all abrahamic religions? If so, you should have maybe just said that instead of writing almost exclusively about the Israelites. Regardless, I still disagree with everything you said regardless of how many religions you drag into it.

Not only are you not the only person, you are the norm of this sad trend.

If all of the normal people think you're a lunatic, you may want to consider the idea that you simply are a lunatic. But you aren't mentally capable of comprehending the fact you're just an asshole, so you say every normal person is just a braindead sheep following a sad trend.

As a citizen of Missouri, this is the best legislation I've seen in years. Hats off to them for finally doing something that doesn't directly make my life worse.

Imagine if this sort of attitude didn't just persist into the "modern" world, but involved offsprings of that very same cult holding power and influence in governments throughout the world. It would be a testament to a cultural unwillingness to overcome its own collective ego and overextended fictional narratives to recognize its flawed conception.

I would say its a testament to the fact that humanity isn't so stupid they will opress the followers of a peaceful religion for crimes their ancestors supposedly commited.

That's a lot of pseudo-intellectual nonsense to mask your obvious antisemitism. The way you snake around your point and avoid naming the religion you are condemning would almost be impressive were it not so awful.

I feel like I'm the only person who actually bothered to read that and didn't just mindlessly upvote it.

That's not really what most of them are theoretically about, but many of their followers treat it as such. I don't accredit that to religion though, I think some people are simply going to try to opress others regardless of whatever reasoning they use. There are bad people and good people in every population, and blaming the actions of those bad people on their larger group is (usually) to be avoided.

It is overly dramatic to the point of being annoying, but I wouldn't describe it as facetious. They say to vote for the lesser of two evils, I'm going to assume that's what they want people to do.

Because experts decided that was optimal to catch your attention. The fact you are here asking this question is proof enough that it worked.

They literally tell you to vote but ok

If menthol cigarettes are banned, it will signal the end of america as we know it. George Washington will be screaming in terror from his grave. "NOOO. LOOK AT WHAT THEYVE DONE TO MY CREATION!!! THE MENTHOLS NOOOOOOO" The only proper course of action would be to clone the founding fathers, demolish all of the United States, and let them start over.
