So, what you're saying is that if you dont like something, you are well within your rights to ignore it and speak out against? Thank you very much, sir. Close thread.

Sure, I mean, as a civilization and species we are probably doomed lol - or we aren't and things will work out eventually. Religion is a root cause for what you're talking about imo. Deeply imbeding the elevation of irrational religious nonsense to the same or greater importance than wisdom, facts and reality and also shielding it from critical thinking so it can continue to cling to life like a parasite has set a massively damaging possibly irreversible psychological impact and precedent throughout all facets of society from art to politics. You don't have to be right you just have to feel right. Many people don't understand critical thinking. They don't understand that everyone is entitled to an opinion but no one is entitled to a good/valid opinion, that must be earned. LOL, religion has little to nothing to do with it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they already canceled thinking and facts. There's a reason Trumpers are referred to as the silent majority. Don't try to flip the script. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because you want to cancel people in the following manner: - Lock her up - Cancel asylum seekers - Cancel democratic customs and norms - Cancel accountability for sexual assault (Grab em by the pussy) - "Fake News" - Cancelling a reporters press credentials to the white house (lost hard on that one! ) - Etc, listing what all reasonable people already know is a waste of time. Please dont hesitate to let me know what parts of this you are struggling to understand. Thanks, Swampbutt. 5 minutes ago, DieselDaisy said: It is much like Star Wars actually. Very like it.

If you disagree, okay, but I find that baffling. Yes, I read what you said. I'm in a loud environment, so I didn't watch the video. The gist of what you said is "religion doesn't allow free thinking". You're welcome to your opinion on that, but it doesn't change the fact that I can't think of anything in the past 10 years that has been "cancelled" in the name of religion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course that's a great way to go about life or at least IMO it is. Having to constantly monitor every single thing that crosses your mind because someone somewhere might be offended by it or just claim they're offended by it are two totally different things.

Im sorry to hear that people of your persuasion are opposed to "better thoughts" It does go far in explaining some things. So thank you for admitting to that. Im always on the look out for better thoughts. So your bizarre and confusing assertions about my beliefs seem unfounded, to say the least.

RussTCB Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 16 minutes ago, Oldest Goat said: Religion is the supreme overlord of cancelling people, cultures and thought and I think it's fair to say this has consequences in society that go way beyond the irritation people like me feel and it sets a very real precedent. Look at it this way, if religion never existed and instead critical thinking was always paramount and this attitude had been ingrained into society for thousands of years instead, do you think the world we're in now would be different? Do you think something like "cancel culture" would have less or more chance to exist? I can't think of an example like the Pope cancelling Ringo but what about the negative influences of the Bible belt, all the shit that happens in the name of religion all over the world even to this day. I cannot say something like "Believing that 2000 years ago a zombie who was the son of himself etc is fucking ridiculous." without immediately being condemned as at best an arrogant loudmouth. I'd lose my job if I said stuff like that even in a joking manner at the workplace. That's not cancel culture? There's no way to prove the argument that we would or would not have cancel culture if religion had never existed. It's your opinion that we wouldn't have it without religion and again, you're welcome to that opinion, but it doesn't make it a fact. Don't get me wrong. I totally agree some heinous, terrible things have occurred in the name of religion. I'm not debating that. However, what I'm saying is that cancel culture can't be blamed only on religion IMO. Your last example is something most companies would view as discrimination, which could be applied to many other things outside of religion.
