Earlier a post that handles a common argument of atheists got deleted with the comment "Off Topic". Can someone explain to me why this is off topic but a post about a Mormon church being fined is not?

Or is it just that it was not "pro" atheism? Is your atheism so fragile that you can't handle any counter arguments and need to censor them to remain your echo chamber intact?

FYI, your second paragraph comes off as extremely hostile. I don't know the other post nor topic you are talking about, but reading that made me instinctively assume you're on the wrong side of a lot of issues.

Edit: Deleted duplicate comment. Sorry about that.

[–] HerbalGamer@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

What is your point exactly?

[–] glad_cat@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 years ago

Insults like yours may be deleted.

[–] Lmaydev@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What was the argument?

This post feels pretty salty to me.

[–] stormfallen@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It was a link to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=JksaTKdpgNM&list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHsF2AppZDY7p1wGK0BwahuZ&index=106

With the comment "What do you think of the first answer in this Q&A? Please only answer when you watched the whole 20 minutes and are interested in a genuine discussion. You can ignore this post if this doesn’t apply to you and I will ignore all comments that show that this doesn’t apply to you."

[–] Lmaydev@programming.dev 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

That is rude as hell tbh. Glad it was deleted.

They think they have the right to demand shit from me or else my opinion doesn't matter to them. Like I owe them something.

They could have easily posted the text of the question and answer.

They can get fucked haha

[–] leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 years ago

I watched 3 mins, saw his ridiculous tee shirt, listened to him fail to understand what a logical fallacy is and decided life was to short to waste it countenancing that level of ignorance.

[–] SmoothIsFast@citizensgaming.com 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lmao what "common argument" why don't you say it or do you realize how fucking stupid it actually is and don't want to repeat it and instead are slinging shit?

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one -4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

If that argument is why their previous post was deleted, adding it here would also get this post deleted.

Take the cage off your nuts for a second and think it through, yeah?

[–] SmoothIsFast@citizensgaming.com 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah no, I'm not looking to see more brain dead stupid gotchas without logic to try and make a dumb point. Fuck religion and fuck made up sky fairies used for control.

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one -3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Cool, so rational thought is a stretch for you.

You sound like you get along just fine with the sky fairies, youve already got their chant down pat.

[–] SmoothIsFast@citizensgaming.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There is nothing rational about inventing creation myths or supporting them, they are tools for control and oppression. I'm not tolerant to intolerance, and I'm sure as hell not going to give someone in support of oppressive systems any chance to act like they are doing anything but trying to find confirmation bias. Fuck off

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one -1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Please learn to fucking read

Or keep acting like a tribalist christian, which seems to be your preference

[–] SmoothIsFast@citizensgaming.com 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Fuck off bud, already read and responded to you in multiple places. If you couldn't even use your own reading comprehension to see that the OP was throwing shade from the get go and was not here for an honest answer, your clearly as brain dead as them or came here expecting to act like a knight in shining Armour for them so once again fuck off.

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Theres that tribalism front and center. You sure speak like a cultist.

It doesnt matter if you think theyre throwing shade, if theyre asking how the previous post broke the rules then you dont demand they break more rules to earn respect you clearly didnt intend to give.

Sounds less like you dislike religion, and more like youre upset youre on the other end of the power abuse.

Cool story bud, go troll somewhere else you clearly can't see patterns or understand logic go suck some more sky fairy dick.

It doesnt matter if you think theyre throwing shade, if theyre asking how the previous post broke the rules then you dont demand they break more rules to earn respect you clearly didnt intend to give.

I'm not asking them to earn any respect not that they would ever even get it, and asking questions does not cause one to get banned. Posting bullshit relgious propaganda is not asking questions, especially when these types are not posting it in good faith or they would not have tossed shade, which is why it matters. If you can't understand basic human behavioral patterns and gain foresight your an idiot.

Sounds less like you dislike religion, and more like youre upset youre on the other end of the power abuse.

I mean your right that I don't dislike religion, I'm fucking disgusted by it and it's brain dead followers/sympathizers, causing our world to crumble because they think they are the center of a made up fairytale instead of the reality of being a process of random chance in the universe.

As you're clearly here out of bad faith you can go fuck your self for the rest of the day, im out.

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 0 points 2 years ago

Youve been out 8 times, cultist.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So, according to you, answering an ambiguous question without knowing what it is referring to, is more reasonable than asking for details before posting a response?

You sure THAT'S what you want to enforce around here?

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one -3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Logical thought? Yeah bud, that should be your first step. Is that hard for you?

They just started assuming what the question was and made it pretty clear they already picked an answer, without thinking through why they wouldnt repost the content they think got them removed in the first place.

Its pretty obvious that if a mod removed your post, reposting the content will get you banned. Youre upset they didnt actively try and get banned? YOU want to enforce rule breaking around here?

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Settle down there buddy, you sound a bit too invested in this. OP could have said in a comment "I posted something regarding X. Why was it removed?"

As opposed to accusations and shaming an entire community over something that we aren't allowed to ask about.

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one -3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lol, someones projecting.

It doesnt matter how pissy op is with the community, they were correct not to repeat possible rule breaking material in their post. You and the other guy trying to flame op for not breaking more rules is tribalistic dipshit behavior.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one -4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Lol, sorry, did you prefer folks break the rules as often as possible? I know the big red A could be distracting, but this is atheism, not anarchy.

[–] SmoothIsFast@citizensgaming.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh look someone posted the link didnt get banned by making snark comments along with it and it's to a dumbass who doesn't understand logical fallacy. Who would of fucking thought, honestly fuck off. I'm not gonna have conversations with religious dumb fucks who do not understand basic concepts such as rational thought. I don't talk about algorithm development with a 2 year old, why the fuck would I talk with someone who shows the same lack of common sense as a 2 year old?

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

This post is literally about not knowing what part of the post was rule breaking.

You sure you arent religious? You sure as shit read as well as one.

[–] SmoothIsFast@citizensgaming.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The post was removed because its just like a myraid of other secular "arguments", the part where they posted a video which has no link to rational arguments. Continued to throw shade and required any commenters to watch their 20mins of rambles when the first couple minutes of the video shows they don't understand logical fallacy. It had no relevance because there was nothing to debate it was trolling and as such this additional post is the same thing. You came out of the woodwork to comment in a community you haven't before and think you're winning here when you clearly can't even see the patterns of these posts. Once again fuck off bud, I'm not gonna entertain stupidity.

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah, right, so I need to be morally bankrupt in order to be a new member here.

Seems this isnt a sub for discussing atheism, its a new cult formation center.

[–] SmoothIsFast@citizensgaming.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Aww look a little relgious apologist trying to equate accepting the fact we don't have supreme overloads into being in a cult, how fucking cute.

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 2 years ago

"hey bud, dont yell at the dude for trying not to break another rule. He obviously didnt copy paste the old post because it rule broke."

"RELIGION APOLOGIST!!! OUTSIDER!!! YOU DARE QUESTION AN ESTABLISHED MEMBER?!?!"

lol ok cultist

[–] clmbmb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

This community is pretty inactive and I guess a lot of ~~people~~ users are trolls.. most of the posts are being downvoted.
