  • Yeah, I agree. I was just trying to clarify the intent of the comment.

    But also I think that’s the point of that line of debate. It is an attempt to show a religious stance from an atheist perspective in which belief is a while load of possible strange things accepted as true. It’s not really much use other than when you’re faced with someone who things your lack of theism is the opposite of their particular brand of religion and frames the discussion around which bits you have issue with, as if they might prove to you that you’re wrong. Or to show that their belief that their religion is correct and all the others, including atheism, are the wrong ones, isn’t really the other side of what an atheist thinks.

    More a thought experiment than meant to characterise the entirety of atheism.







  • As others have pointed out: sending a DM from wefwef appears to be a no-go. Is there a rallying point somehwere? A lemmy community, discord channel? I’m interested in being involved but not sure how much time I can commit so would rather throw some effort at something that’s got others already coordinating rather than start something that falters everytime work gets in my way.

    I’m just starting out with lemmy myself but have decades of experience with tech and work in higher education, so might be best placed working on educational aspects. My plan at the moment is to set up something small dedicated to self hosted services with a focus on containerised deployment and low maintainence effort. Documenting that journey might be useful?
