We’re in the 21st century, and the vast majority of us still believe in an utterly and obviously fictional creator deity. Plenty of people, even in developed countries with decent educational systems, still believe in ghosts or magic (e.g. voodoo). And I–an atheist and a skeptic–am told I need to respect these patently false beliefs as cultural traditions.
Fuck that. They’re bad cultural traditions, undeserving of respect. Child-proofing society for these intellectually stunted people doesn’t help them; it is in fact a disservice to them to pretend it’s okay to go through life believing these things. We should demand that people contend with reality on a factual basis by the time they reach adulthood (even earlier, if I’m being completely honest). We shouldn’t be coddling people who profess beliefs that are demonstrably false, simply because their feelings might get hurt.
This post reads like it was written by a Fedora that came to life thanks to an incel’s wish.
All right time to remake Fantasia
Your reply reads like a pearl-clutching religious nut.

Your comment reads like a meme hieroglyph about being butthurt.
Why did the hieroglyph get butthurt?
Because it couldn’t handle being taken for “granite” in the pyramid scheme!
Except you’re the hieroglyph here, and the community is the pyramid.
