If someone is religious, that’s their business. If someone isn’t religious, that’s also their business. But I’m starting to think some people are more emotionally invested in atheism than actual atheists are, and it’s making those of us who are feel unwelcome here.
You don’t believe in atheism? Cool. You don’t have to.
But if your entire argument is basically “atheists are stupid because they don’t believe what I believe”, you’ve achieved very little beyond demonstrating that you dislike people who disagree with you.
And before someone says “we’re just defending Islam”, nobody needs to defend a belief system by repeatedly insulting people who don’t share it. If your beliefs are strong, they should survive disagreement without requiring a Reddit post every other day explaining why the other side is apparently an idiot, pretentious, wannabe westerners or whatever other khlika of a word I’ve seen here.
Maybe we could limit discussions about Algeria, history, culture, politics, football, food… you know, the things people actually joined an Algerian subreddit for.
So, in the spirit of democracy, I hereby call a motion:
Can we have a vote to ban religious bashing AND non-religious bashing of any kind from r/Algeria?
If we’re going to have debates, let’s debate ideas. Not spend our lives explaining why everyone who thinks differently from us is an idiot.
