Watching you slam your head into a wall over and over is getting boring, so I’ll cut this short:
Oxford’s Dictionary describes Atheism as “The disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of a God or gods.
It describes religion as “the belief in and worship of a superhuman power or powers, especially a God or gods.”
I don’t care what you personally define these as, nor what some random internet troll defines them as, but so far the world has agreed that Atheism is definitively not a religion.
If you would like to discuss the actual question in the title, I can explain how that is a terrible statement, but that has been bugging me this whole time.
I never really got the fear of big government tbh. As long as we’re free to change things to better suit the needs of the people, I see nothing wrong with equalizing classes and ensuring protection of citizens. I guess I understand why a school having an armed police officer would seem scary, but it’s a far better idea than just making everyone fish in a barrel, y’know?
First off, I apologize for lack of sources, I realized after the first vote that I really shoulda just shared the sites I was looking at. I’m new to debating, so I’m still trying to get acquainted with the format.
Second, you asked a very interesting question I wanted to answer. Yes, white-passing descendants of African American slaves should receive reparations in my opinion, though I’m unsure if the NAACP shares my feelings. The fact is, they also struggled with the effects of American slavery, and likely are more disadvantaged than their peers. As for other types of slaves in America, I believe they should get assistance, though perhaps it’d be better to focus on our first victims and work our way down the list.
I’ll never be able to understand how people don’t see history as the cause to today’s effect, and the present as the cause to tomorrow’s. Looking back is the first step forward.
But hey, no accounting for intelligence on a public forum I suppose.
Would you mind explaining your vote further? It confuses me, because it just takes a factual statement and decides that I lost the debate because of it. Any elaboration would be greatly appreciated.
