Then @iNow is right to be annoyed with our bickering.

That's the insidious nature of the innocent joke, not everyone gets it but we all feel the need to laugh, even if we find it distasteful (for a reason we're not entirely sure about). That feeling only grows with the respect we give to the joker.

No, that's the point...

Because it's a different question; what is a fact? or why does my belief trump another's?

So, if they're not you they can't believe in a fact? "Cogito ergo sum", has it's flaws.

No one is asking you to suck on something that you find distasteful, especially if you're "normal". It's the insidious nature of culture, that if enough people innocently say "that's distasteful" it has an effect on their neighbours/neighbourhood, who then require otherwise innocent people to acquire your taste. It's a simple question of balance, is your distaste more important than their taste???

The difference is, I have evidence... 😉

Point well missed, besides how is 0 worse than -1? How did you do that? Context missed: I'm starting to think your arguments are less than, honest. Much like your voting protocol. 🙂

But not why, that God is central to that culture, so much context is lost between the generation's.

Why should they? If it is an acquired taste, it automatically mean's you don't like it and that it requires, some sort of, force to make you taste it again.

Tell that to the strawman. I wouldn't have left a red 1, but the post didn't deserve a green 1. Because you're conflating santa and god in an attempt to ridicule my premise, not argue it. But just to be clear, most philosophical/cultural attacks on religion revolves around the existence of god (or santa if you prefer), rather than the credence of the philosophies written.

Well, if you're going to use a logical fallacy to explain my faulty logic, I can't take you seriously.

Therefore, can a parodox ever exist?

Besides, I think you're missing some context. The paradoxical bit.

Why not?

Please explain.

It's a genuine paradox: Atheist/"arelionist", whatever, state's as a matter of fact, there is no such thing as god/s. (Edit let's not get into semantics here.) So therefore, in a world without God's, the bible and the idea's therein have to be written by man and accepted by their fellow man. So therefore, if a lot of people, even in the face of cultural difference, say "that's an idea worth following". No God needed. Therefore, God has become a weapon for atheism/<insert word>. 🤔

Bugger, I'm too late again, god only knows what religion will be the latest version...

Depends on the teacher, none of which were God's... Being an atheist, doesn't have to mean that you don't believe in Jesus, Mohamed etc... 😉

Then I'm not sure why we are talking about it, in the first place. Perhaps it's like a posh person serving caviar at a very expensive dinner party, just for the chance to say "it's an aquired taste, my dear", because they know you won't like it, because they didn't when they heard about it, and therefore I am so much less nieve than you, ergo more sophisticated. I don't like any sex scene, especially with dolby, because I hate the sound of kissing 😝; I've never felt the need to find out why, I just put my fingers in my ear and pretend it's not happening. I don't rewind the tape in order to collect data/evidence of why I should be outraged Why not? Any prejudice, will automatically lead to an assumption of some sort...

The definition of tolerate automatically means that you don't like it, you don't have to look. It's not your likes that are important, everyone's happy with their likes, it's the attitude towards your dislikes that should change.

Yep, that's how...

If that were true of every human, then how did Hitler raise an army?

Rito, boss...

Think about it...
