Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

FSM is a joke, made for a dude to be able to wear a colander on their passport.

Humanism as a religion - where do we draw the line on "is a religion"? Is coffee a religion? Is Marxism a religion? Is the color purple a religion?

I mean you called Satanism a religion, so by the same definition, so is Humanism, and so is Marxism

I did? You're the one that brought it up, and unlike the other fringe ones I've at least met 20+ people that consider themselves satanists.

Damn that's the good stuff, I'll have to share this thread with my friend, this is hilarious

I find it quite humorous how you try to defend religion by bringing up the truly defining beliefs with up to a staggering 500 practitioners worldwide to support your point. Arguing that "there is nothing to believe in" is a religion sure is something else.
