So, out of nowhere I got a little job for this weekend... (and I just realized that I have a course this weekend, I don't know if I am going to have time), a friend of my sister wants me to make some sushi for a reunion they are going to have this Friday, I didn't knew my sister recommended me lol, specially because she doesn't like sushi XD. But I can't complain, money for something I like to do, cool.
On another note, I had my first Facebook religious debate, an ex-teacher likes to link atheist videos and sometimes religious persons make comments, most of the times I don't care, but this time something snapped, this guy wrote, and I'm quoting:
"yo digo cuando uno dice que no cree en Dios, de alguna forma, si lo hace, cree en el no creyendo en el, me explico?"
By the time I realized I had already wrote something and I wasn't going to post it, but I felt that if I deleted what I wrote I would regret it more than what I knew I would regret posting it, it was a lose lose situation, not because I didn't mean what I wrote, but because I knew that whatever I wrote would not matter, if someone supported me, then there was no need for me to write it, if someone was against me then there was no need because I would be ignored.
There were just 3 persons in the discussion, me, another atheist and the religious guy, funny thing, both of them were named Jesus XD. And as I see it, we won, there was nothing to discuss and at the end we just wrote names of musicians/bands that the other atheist said were the real representation of god.
Well, it was fun reading what this religious person wrote, I never thought I would get in a fight like this over Facebook :P
a cooking gig, cool! and i always comment on people even if i dont change their mind, they have to know that the number of atheists are growing and we are not hiding anymore....we need more atheists to speak out against illogical statements, because some of these people go through all their life without being challenged to think otherwise, because nobody dares questions what others belief even if it's ridiculous...that needs to stop, ridiculous beliefs need to stop being respected...in my view
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Sushi gig! Let us know how that goes!
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, I almost always engage people on FB when they make fallacious claims that are of a religious nature. It has resulted in some drama, since family is sometimes involved. Like Geli said, my main goal is not to change their mind, as much as it is to expose our viewpoint and show some dissent for their unfounded beliefs. At least that way, perhaps they will refrain from nonsensical blathering, knowing that they will not go unchallenged.
Sea quien sea la persona que puso eso, está llena de mocos!!!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmmmmmmm sushi! I loooove it! And I agree with Sergio lol
