I thought it was Black People looting and burning down Baltimore? 90% of the people destroying Baltimore is non Black!

Well you know when you probably won’t be able to leave your house for a while, you might need food to live.

Well you know when cops keep killing blacks with no explanations & no indictments & throw bricks at you while you’re protesting peacefully, which is our first amendment right, you might need to rebel :)

I didn’t realize how essential beer and doritos are. Hm.

funny how that water is going untouched

THEY SAID THESE WHITES WERE LOOTING TO SURVIVE

AS THEY CARRY CASES OF BEER OUT OMFG

Worth pointing out these photos are from OAKLAND not Baltimore. From the 2014 riots/looting. Glad people still fact check things before assuming. 

I felt this was needed. We stand with Mark.

Oh god, I sense another “#IStandWithJonTron” brewing.

what happened here?

Mark said “its not women shouldn’t be hit, people shouldn’t hit people” or something then feminists went nuts on him and its going to be another Matt the comet guy case because Markiplier is sensitive and not a bad guy but yeah

He basically said that if a woman hits a man that the man should be able to defend himself and hit her back but he did also say that no one should hit anyone, he doesn’t approve of violence and he’s had to deal with an abusive partner in the past, SJWs just nitpicked part of his statement to make him look bad :|

Never watched too much Markiplier but I feel this is necessary regardless

I’ve never really watched markiplier but i know he is a great guy with a great view on the world and I full support him and this statement

okay but like real talk tho i watched the episode in question, and the fact that there are some people latching onto it the way they have just proves that some people actively look for things to be upset about.

Fuck people, like for real.

Also, note that he said that with the background that he had an abusive girlfriend.

I’m an atheist.

No … no no, please come back. Stay with me to the end. I have a point here, I promise.

Being an atheist wasn’t exactly a choice I made; it was more like a realization I came to, eventually. I realized I...

No True Scotsman

When you say you're a universalist, I'm gonna assume you mean this:

u·ni·ver·sal·ist

ˌyo͞onəˈvərsəlist/

noun

CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY

a person who believes that all humankind will eventually be saved.

a person advocating loyalty to and concern for others without regard to national or other allegiances.

adjective

CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY

of or relating to universalists.

universal in scope or character.

Simply because it's the definition I can find most easily, and commonly among multiple sources for definitions.

I'm not going to go over everything you say here, cause well, I just don't have that much time, so I will hit the basics, as you did for mine.

"The truth is ALL beliefs have central points."

There is only one point in atheism, the non-belief in a god or gods. Just one. Period. Nothing more and nothing less. Atheism is NOT a world view, such as Univsersalist or Hindu. It's a single position in response to another single issue. It may be a specific church people go to, but you can infer easily multiple tenants of what those people believe. 

As a Universalist, I can right away tell you (or the common usage of your claimed title) believe in Christ and you believe in salvation (being that it's a Christian theology) and the worship of Christ and his teachings as required of being a Christian. I can also infer that you believe that all humans will eventually be saved and sent to whatever version of heaven you believe in. There is a doctrine to your religion. There are tenants and core beliefs. You can't be in a Christian theology and not worship Christ, much like you can't be a Hindu and worship Allah.

What can you directly tell me about an atheist right away other then they do not believe in a god? Atheism has no tenets and doctrines. It has no beliefs other than 'I do not believe in a god or gods'. You cannot infer what an atheist believes in otherwise. 

A Church is simply a community and meeting ground of those who share a similar-ish view point. Guess what also counts as those? Forums, panels, conventions, events, artists and artist’s shows, etc etc etc.

And I can infer that everyone in that church (more or less) abides by the SAME or nearly same ideologies. If it's a Christian online forum, I can still infer several points of ideas that will be common among all, if not all members of that forum who claim to be in that ideology. If it's a Muslim forum, the same. Multiple points of common, required, shared points of ideas among all, or nearly all members. 

Atheism is unique in the world of ideologies as it only has ONE basic principle, the lack of a belief in any gods. 

Now, something I thought you'd bring up but didn't, so I will offer it to you, with my concession on that part. There are new groups popping up called Atheism Plus (and other, smaller ones that really aren't worth mentioning) If you are unaware of their beliefs, go HERE. If someone claims to be part of that sort of group, then yes, i concede they are now a "tribe" or "community" or whatever other word that requires more than one common belief for all people in that group, and therefore open to critique based on their actions that would be influenced by their beliefs. 

I recognize that there are elements of fuckery going on and I push against it

Fair enough. I tend to do that too. I applaud anyone who stands up against bullies and assholes. My point of contention here is the people causing that fuckery are doing it because they are assholes, not because they are atheists. There is nothing in the non belief in gods that says to do that they do. In the same thought, I also believe people who are Christians and are assholes are still just assholes, and it's not necessarily their religious beliefs that cause them to be that way (although, in fairness, it CAN be, since people can and do use their religious teachings to do harm to others. That simply cannot be refuted)

My point in all this, is our world views are what shape how we act, and interact with others. Atheism is not a world view, as it has no tenets, no principles, no doctrine, no beliefs, no scripture, no dogma, no required parts aside from not believing in any gods. 

I would, and do concede that Atheism Plus as a world view, because it has multiple parts to it, multiple beliefs that are required to be in that "group" or "tribe", but to me, that's like saying "I'm a Conservative Republican or a "Liberal Democrat". You have to believe and act in most, if not all of a groups said beliefs in order to be part of that group. I cannot claim to be a Republican Democrat any more than I can claim to be an Atheist Hindu (well, I can CLAIM it all I want, that doesn't make it true)

People who go out of their way to cause harm and damage to others are wrong to do so, and should be called out on it whenever possible. But let's be real about it, some people are simply just assholes and that will never change about the human race. 

I'll leave this issue with this

I’m an atheist.

No … no no, please come back. Stay with me to the end. I have a point here, I promise.

Being an atheist wasn’t exactly a choice I made; it was more like a realization I came to, eventually. I realized I didn’t believe, and despite exploration and thought on the matter, couldn’t believe. So I accepted it as part of who I am. I understood it wasn’t a majority view, and while it could make me sad and angry (and sometimes still does), I accept I live in a world with creeds other than my own. I try to find my place in all that.

I have a slight issue with this. Atheism is not a 'group' or a 'tribe'. It's a single position on a single issue. I get the point here, and I don't want to seem that I defend assholes positions. I don't. And I don't condone them. However, I stand that it's still a single position. I say these people act out not because of their atheism, but because they are just assholes. If you go into a church for example, most people there are going to have similar ideologies about the world they live in, which will be different from other churches in the same grouping. However, when you group any amount of atheists together, there is only one guaranteed common thing between them: They all do not believe in a god. Anything else is something else. There is no ideology, tenants or thoughts required in being an atheist aside from not believing in any gods. 

Maybe I am wrong on that idea, and I can understand why some people would lump them into groups or 'tribes', but it simply isn't the case. If these people were Christians (or Jews, Muslims, Hari Krishna, whatever) they'd still be an asshole. 

I also feel that you should never, ever have to apologize or feel bad about what someone else has done. It has no bearing on you. Their 'sins' are not yours and never will be. Perhaps some people will lump you in with them, but fuck those people. 

I'm not saying they're not a part of my clan. I'm saying there *is* no clan.
