Nobody ever raped a kid and used “but I’m a leader of the local board game club therefore I shouldn’t be punished” as an excuse.

how about “I am the executive of a film studio”? did they use that as an excuse? “I am rich as fuck”?

Nobody ever did any of that in the name of atheism either.

What about the purges against religious people carried out by communist dictatorships? That’s not in the name of atheism? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Christians_in_the_Soviet_Union

atheist doctrine doesn’t believe in bodily autonomy.

atheist doctrine doesn’t believe in anything. you can say whatever you want as part of it and it will be due to “religion is wrong, thus doing X has no moral consequence, there is no god”

your thing provides excuse, justification, motivation, direct orders, all of it, the whole package.

you can blame anything. Cartoons, video games, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbine_High_School_massacre

If religion gives an excuse instead of justification, it’s still just as bad.

Anything can be abused as an excuse, that doesn’t make the thing being falsely accused of being the excuse is to blame. Otherwise atheism is responsible for any suffering caused by an atheist.

perfect time to start building up solutions to your wounds

No, I think “religious” wars are done for the acquisition of resources and use religion as propaganda to obtain support

I mean, “theocracy bad” is a fairly normal secular POV to have; it’s just that some of these things go out of hand and turn into quagmires. The problem is that invading a foreign country hardly leads to establishment of long term stability and the desire of the invadees.

so when a schizophrenic kills a busfull of orphans and says Jesus told him to do it, the pope is to blame?

I mean, that’s what I was doing already.

OTOH, you could easily say that Kreia is unreliable, which would make this interpretation simply Kreia’s perspective, rather than KOTOR2 trying to adjust canon.

this seems to make more sense to me. I just took her ramblings as “bad guy shit” and forgot since I played it like over a decade ago.

It’s also fair to say that George Lucas doesn’t always follow George Lucas’ original vision… (i.e., midichlorians, which certainly depart from original buddhist inspirations).

Jar Jar is the key to all this /s

sure, and in 1958 they started killing all the sparrows in china and 15 million+ people starved to death. It’s not religion atheism that caused that one; turns out that people fuck up whatever they want to and blame it on whatever; it doesn’t mean the thing they are blaming caused the thing that happened

I’m not watching 42 minutes of that old windbag saying jack shit and falling asleep halfway through it

is he often buying 3d printers?

to write a book about? sure. to “defend our planet againt”? that’s a bit of an overstatement

If you watch the whole video, he’s awake.

how?

thank you for making visual content on the trail.

Funhole containment breach. Outbreak Outbreak Outbreak

no, it’s a international thing

I mean I got more, it’s just the first that came to mind.

"As I discuss in my book “The blind watchmaker” and the much more popular “the god delusion” we need to defend our planet against a lack of understanding of the propagation of culture. As well as religion in general.

It’s more likely to be an indicator of their own dogmatism than a reflection of the current state of scientific and philosophical opinion,” he said.

Current AI systems are unlikely to be conscious, said Jeff Sebo, the director of the Center for Mind, Ethics and Policy at New York University

this is some “Arrested development” tier shit

yeah, it’s more that he put in shitloads of effort into doing damage, and then not doing much to reverse it; but you’re completely right that at least he fucking went through with it
