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.)
The pride flag was brought up, which is not religious, thereby opening up the discussion for non-religious symbols.
So I'm going to assume that the person who replied with the "murderous organizations" thing was probably refering to something like a nazi swastika rather than a cross or a star of David, and was wondering if you think a nazi swastika flag is equivalent to a pride flag.
Make sense?
Edit: Added "nazi" to "swastika" to get ahead of any bUt aCkShUlLy tHe sWasTiKa iS aN aSiAn rElIgIouS sYmbOl redditism lol
Geez. Finally a good point. Thank you!
I mentioned elsewhere here that “Everyone (who isn’t opposed to equality) should feel equally represented.”.
The Buddhist swastika did cross my mind. Although they have many symbols, it would seem likely that a school board would not permit this one from being displayed.
