I’ve said it a few times but mostly to fuck with a few friends of mine who are kinda hippies and love prattling on about “love” and “spirituality” and that kind of crap. I get it’s a dumb argument but it’s good to get a rise out of people who believe in woo woo shit.
Fwiw I call myself a cultural christian because it feels dishonest to say I have no affiliation with a religion. The primary religion I’ve rejected is christianity and yet my morality is still fundamentally christian because that’s how I was raised. That’s a real different relationship from my relationship with Buddhism, for example.
yeah but Dawkins is one of those people that is actually just a petty mean spirited person that talks a lot of shit to justify themselves. Like Peterson
Everything he says he thinks can basically be ignored as he's making it up as he goes to justify being so unpleasant
I only really use the it's just chemicals argument against the annoying "these drugs are showing me the universe man" hippies. But I mainly find them annoying as they are really boring to talk to as they regularly chemically remove their ability to tell when what they are saying is boring

There’s no woo involved

Ah I wasn’t familiar with Dawkins’ claim to the term, but I’m not surprised there’s bioessentialism at the end of that path

I mostly don't say things if their only point is to upset my friends
Well you don’t know me or these people or anything about the rapport I have with them so perhaps don’t make judgements.
If they were seriously bothered by my mild ribbing I assume they would stop being friends with me.
