When I called someone out for being "delusional" and "a problem", I was perma-banned from the r/atheism. Have I missed something? Are atheists at literal war with theists? Is it the common belief that theists are willing members of "murderous organizations"? What propaganda is being passed around atheist circles that I've been missing out on?

More directly, I guess, is today's Atheism strictly about anti-Christianity? Cause that's not where I'm coming from nor interested in going.

For added context of the conversation I was attempting to have - "everybody or nobody"; if a pride flag alone fails to represent everyone (which it inherently does), wouldn't the proposed argument prevent hanging the flag? I thought it was a reasonable reply to the idea and was shocked by "murderous organizations" coming into play.

(I mean, people have been hanging American flags and singing the National Anthem too.)

    Without more context it looks like you were trying to argue against displaying pride flags.

    How about you link the full exchange because I am leaning toward you being a bigot given the only context you have provided.

    Also yes, if you responded in the way you did in just about any context I would not be surprised for you to be banned.

      The original post was deleted so that's the extent of it.

      It's a mathematical argument. If you can't include everything, exclude everything. So, I have asked the question, would that not exclude pride flags?

      Oh! Yeah - pride flags were mentioned in the deleted post. I didn't just randomly bring that into the conversation! I guess that would be helpful for added context.

        What was the comment that got removed. Looks like you're just a bigot.
