Ah, understandable. The usual routine I've seen/experienced is

🤡 <shitty comment, possible restricted replies>

It seemed reasonable to presume you'd had a similar experience.

Looks like whoever you quoted is blocking you, so we can't see the quote :-/

Drat.

I mean, if these Xians weren't out here ruining the world every couple decades, we wouldn't care, but FFS, Paul started a lot of bullshit.

Why do Xians have such a big hardon for converting atheists? What is their glitch? They always have these preposterous "and everybody clapped" stories about arguments with imaginary atheists, claims they "usetabe" atheists, maudlin conversion myths, it's wild. WTF is wrong with these people?

Oh, no, Christians don't read their bibles, they only use them to prooftext their current stance.

When the #apologist can no longer make money selling their snake-oil, only then have #AntiTheists succeeded.

… they will let go the illusions they mistake for facts & come to the side of reason.

I don't want to forcibly end religion, I want it to wither away, to atrophy from disuse, because nobody engages with it anymore, since they've been shown the lies, & they walk away from faith into truth.

5/6

… logic and how they are duping the faithful into misguided beliefs.

We must remember that we don't engage the apologist, we engage their performance to reveal it as performative. The faithful who actually care what's true must be shown that they are being duped and manipulated, in hopes that…

4/6

… cynical deceptions.

We engage with them for the same reason they engage with us: to perform for the faithful. The apologist performs confidence to maintain the illusion their audience desperately wants to maintain, while we attempt to show the hollowness of their claims, the flaws in their…

3/6

We engage to demonstrate the dishonesty of their rhetoric, which is flawed to the bone, no matter how sincere the belief of the apologist. We show their audiences the deceit in their claims, the logical inconsistencies in their argumentation, the lack of genuine conviction underlying their…

Ack! Your words swirl me. I know the trees, but am lost in the forest.

Now *that* reference I understand. But I'm genderfluid, and never liked the show anyway (or even catch phrases, for that matter).

Duly noted!

This atheist does NOT think that's a "fine thing to say", but that's because I'm old and it makes no sense to me.

I was browsing various distros not long ago, & was curious about NixOS. I'm not a programmer, don't use Linux at an enterprise level, & I don't have to configure a batch of clone boxes, so I didn't even put it on my Ventoy stick.

But I'm still curious about the userbase. Why do you use NixOS?

Don't sweat it: there's PLENTY of us doing our damndest to support it.

FWIW, I'd suggest you aim for a higher degree if it's something that interests you; if you discussed the same material over & over every day, you'd likely be just as competent as Dr. Dan here. He's amazing, but that's bc he does it for a living: don't sell yourself short. I have confidence in you 🖖🪴
