hmmmm as in, like--AHA you say you believe X from religion but your religion also says Not X? mostly dislike that too I think Really hard to identify the True Tenets of an ancient religion as an outsider and seems wrong to claim knowledge of which actually believed by someone

Like the end game ends up "oh you say we should love our enemies because you're christian but why arent you proposing we kill witches like exodus says huh huh explain that" which seems really unhelpful to eusocial discourse let people define their own beliefs and move on

Example?

oh just "Sessions says obeying government is what god wants" (bunch of folks who dont believe in god) "No god obviously wants you to do the other thing" dang fellas this discussion got dumb and insincere quickly

I like pointing out the internal inconsistencies too, though. There’s a lot of anecdotes to show that that helps some people see through the absurdity. It’s stronger to say “let’s just accept your idea and see where that goes” and have it still turn out stupid.

Yeah, I definitely see the value in this. I think my objection is maybe aesthetic? Having a hard time putting my finger on it for some reason

Right. The game is already rigged. So by even tacitly playing you’re accepting contradictions, and if you insist on reason you’ll just end up back at “I actually don’t accept these premises.” So you have to know your audience and goals if you’re going to try this effectively.

nominally-secular state actors justifying authoritarian policy with religious appeals to authority is a chickenshit move
