    1. Atheist on a Soapbox‏ @Soapbox_Atheist Nov 8

      Religion is harmful, but I will fight to defend a person’s right to be religious. Why? 1st: history teaches us that religion will never be eradicated by force. 2nd: the suppression of religious freedom is immoral. #Religion must be defeated with #REASON. Nothing else would do.

      You mean the thing that the United States government created to fight the USSR? Here's the thing. In order to say that something is harmful, you need to show robust science indicating a causative relationship and net harm. Islamic conflicts we see today are the result of

      So Islamic conquests weren't imperial expansionist endeavors? Forcing non-Muslims to pay the jizya tax?

      Oh. They were. And that's the thing. Religious or not, it is imperialism and the expansion of a government that seems to be the greatest problem. Your claim is that #religion is harmful. Show me a scientific study justifying your claim.

      FGM in mostly Muslim countries. Circumcision may introduce psychological and physiological side effects for men. Some religious people drink from contaminated fountains could be bad for health.

      I asked for you to show me a scientific study. Do you know what those are? Also, you're going to have a hard time arguing using circumcision, because there's evidence justifying the claim of net medical benefit, at least in terms of male circumcision.

          FGM is a bit more confusing, though its persistence might be the result of a reduction in STI transmission due to decreased sexual pleasure, etc. Regardless, I asked for a scientific study, not your own ignorant analysis of anecdotes. No offensive, but if you don't give a fuck

          about scientific robustness of such claims, then you're not worth my time. Actually, offense is fine. I don't really care. I waste too much time talking to scientifically illiterate people.

          Well, I don't have a "field" because that's idiotic. You answer questions, not fields. Here's one of them: what is religion?https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/xqduv/ …

          You're no better than someone saying that "vaccines harm" and who cite anecdotes as "evidence." No; that's not how science works. Where the fuck did you learn how to think?
