Probably the only way not to be stupidly ignorant is to not be stupid. Or willfully ignorant.Probably the only way to get mob rule is a mob, ruling. Like a democracy

The question was to you. So how do you know?The question is why don't you.
You aren't listening. People do terrible things, which they think are justified by their faith. You are hurting people, damaging their lives, denying their right to the pursuit of happiness, denying even that they exist. You justify this by your faith. You claim your faith is right with the clarity and conviction that those who burnt witches also felt. Can't you see the equivalence here? Why is your faith more important than their humanity?There is good example. Nowhere in the NT witness of Christ does it tell believers to burn witches, keep the slave trade or lgbt.. but some do. So its dangerous when people pick and choose like I said.
Oh and the only person calling people bigots is you lol
Mob rule is the imposition of populist policies using force. Jan 6th last year was an attempt at mob rule . There are many examples of a minority imposing on a majority. Theocracy, plutocracy, autocracy to name but three.
What special rights? What expense are you put to in avoiding deadnaming, other than the expense of not being objectionably rude?
I asked how you know.
As far as for me, you are making an assumption, aren't you. You'll find that type of comment in what is a fallacy.
Those who prefer their children to be uneducated.Imposing is rude.
Many find imposing these ideas on schoolchildren very objectionable.
Well the Biblical testimony says that, but then people pick and choose what else of it they want to believe and what they choose to reject under the pretext of 'interpretation'

My opinion, which differs from yours, but is no less valid.Your judgement of those who disagree with your imposition.
You did and now you're playing word games. I deal with Rc's who play word games too.No assumption that you called the bible "the Word" and the "final authority".
Um. Yes.Are there?
God is Sovereign and is not in need of you to agree that He has the right to do with His creation as He sees fit.Rights are granted - who granted your god these rights?
Any intention of convincing me we don't?Any intention of convincing us of this?
Why do you fear and hate Him so much? And then, why do you hate and fear His followers so much? What has He done to you, personally, and what have we done to you, personally, that you would be filled with such hatred and abject fear towards Him and us? I mean, don't get me wrong, I understand that I and all followers of the Way will be hated for His name's sake, you are living proof of this truth, but I've seldom met someone who is so overtly anti-Christ as you.A lifetime spent in deference to a religion based on a god that was never there.
How do you know what I did, said or didn't have to do, or say, or all the things that I didn't do, or say, that I could have done, or said? You display such hubris it is astounding.All the things that you did, and said, but didn't have to do, or say, and all the things that you didn't do, or say, that you could have done, or said.
You can tell when God is working on someone by the way they kick back.Um. Yes.

Who gave him the right?God is Sovereign and is not in need of you to agree that He has the right
Answering questions with questions, a typical theist evasion tactic.Any intention of convincing me we don't?
I believe he isn't real, so I neither fear nor hate him.Why do you fear and hate Him so much?
I don't hate or fear all Christians.And then, why do you hate and fear His followers so much?
I think he isn't real, so, nothing.What has He done to you, personally,
A thing does not have to affect me personally for me to care about it.and what have we done to you, personally,
The Bible tells you "if you're being hated, you're doing it right".I mean, don't get me wrong, I understand that I and all followers of the Way will be hated for His name's sake
Anti-Chrisitianity, not anti-Christ.but I've seldom met someone who is so overtly anti-Christ as you.
"You can tell when somenone is gay by the way they kick back."You can tell when God is working on someone by the way they kick back.
See my prior comment.Who gave him the right?
It is for God.Power is not right.
Refusing delivery of a package is not evasive. It's purposeful.Answering questions with questions, a typical theist evasion tactic.
Then why do you bother trying to destroy Him with your arguments?I believe he isn't real, so I neither fear nor hate him.
See my comment above.I don't hate or fear all Christians.
See my above the above comment.I think he isn't real, so, nothing.
And yet here you are.A thing does not have to affect me personally for me to care about it.
See? He does affect you. Your comment is hypocritical of what you just claimed prior.Religion is general - and Christianity specifically - are divisive, and an impediment to humanism.
It does and you are living proof.The Bible tells you "if you're being hated, you're doing it right".
Not luck. What He has told us the cost of following Him would be.That's lucky.
You can't be one without the other.Anti-Chrisitianity, not anti-Christ.
I already understand what you are claiming I don't. Again, such hubris.You may not see the difference, but compare being anti-Scientology to being anti-Xenu, and you'll understand.
Already stated that I am opposing religion, not gods.Then why do you bother trying to destroy Him with your arguments?
Then being anti-Scientology is the same as believing that Xenu exists, and opposing him.You can't be one without the other.
You think that opposing your religion equates to believing in and opposing your god.I already understand what you are claiming I don't. Again, such hubris.
You don't realize that's an oxymoron do you.Already stated that I am opposing religion, not gods.
Who is xenu? Never mind. It doesn't matter. What matters is who you say Jesus is and that will determine your eternal destiny.Then being anti-Scientology is the same as believing that Xenu exists, and opposing him.
Yes?
There can only be one truth and therein lays your Achilles heel.You think that opposing your religion equates to believing in and opposing your god.
Defending my faith is not hubris but what I am called to do. You, however, have decided you know better than God and consequently your hubris is evident for the whole of the world to see.THAT is hubris.
ISLAM is quite a way from "Critical mass" in the U.S. at about 1.1% - although there are local "Hotbeds" in various cities (They just built a LARGE Mosque in Duncanville, TX.
We must own the libs and the gays and drag queens. Adulterers and witchcraft and atheists. So says MAGA.
Soon coming to America as the right wing will have their vengeance and speak for God.
No.You don't realize that's an oxymoron do you.
The central antagonist of Scientology.Who is xenu?
Yes, it does, because it invalidates your "opposing Religion X is the same as opposing the god of Religion X" nonsense.Never mind. It doesn't matter.
Something you know I don't believe...What matters is who you say Jesus is and that will determine your eternal destiny.
Utterly irrelevant to the discussion.There can only be one truth and therein lays your Achilles heel.
You don't defend your faith.Defending my faith is not hubris but what I am called to do.
We both do - every existing being knows better than a non-existing one, by definition.You, however, have decided you know better than God
