This is American journalism for you. Make the smartest seem stupid. This is why I don't live in America. Just can't take shit like this anymore.

[huwrj]

The first two minutes is a pathetic botched propaganda hit job against Harris. Taking particular 3-second sound bytes out of context and painting him as offensive, aggressive, incendiary, etc. What a bunch of fucking cock-suckers ABC are.

[leftovers0]

Fuck me, this has been edited to shit. None of his actual arguments made it in to the piece.

[mechamiles]

So we reject one arbitrary authority for another. I would appreciate it if both the pope and Harris would let me discern that for myself.

[sleazybtd]

Wow. Would it be possible to make a smear campaign more obvious?

@jadagod Amen.

@12Ominous let me ask you something, does the government use force to impose taxes on people? you have your definitions twisted, and googling the answer that best suits your ridiculous position isn't going to save you. You can't make religion illegal, I never said that, I said to be aggressive with secular views, through critical thinking and logic. You seem to make up stories in your head about what other people are saying that's a logical fallacy. Once you lose that way, it's over.

[12Ominous]

@tehkoalainsurgency Impose: Force (something unwelcome or unfamiliar) to be accepted or put in place:

How to intend to impose something onto someone? You can't make Religion illegal.

Learn how to articulate properly and you won't look like an idiot. Either way by using the word impose you imply the use of force which isn't acceptable.

@12Ominous lol once you've misread something there's no back pedaling buddy, shitty try at that too. Imposing does not mean killing christians, you can impose a "law" or "authority" to regulate these nut jobs' interference with government and so on. Save yourself some trouble, don't bring shitty logic and bad reading to an argument.

[12Ominous]

@tehkoalainsurgency "We must impose our atheism in society as a form of a cure for a disease."

1) Do you know what impose means? 2) Do you know who you sound like? Not Hitler.

[tehkoalainsurgency]

@12Ominous nobody said anything about killing Christians, so who's the idiot; the one who can't read apparently.

[12Ominous]

@mesafalcon881 It's called an impartial perspective idiot. The fact that you have 15 thumbs up suggests none of the problems humanity has will ever be eradicated even on the slim chance Religion is completely removed from society. Stupidity is not isolated to the Religious, evidently.
