Should theists be killed if they refuse to give up their beliefs, or should some other extreme preventive measure be taken, such as engineering any genes that may lead to theism in a person or their offspring?
Or mandator surgery on their brains to correct theistic thinking? Should we take similar measures for all irrational thought?

Or should we just wait for the singularity?

History shows that using force usually brings an undesired effect. Religion must die on its own.

You should do your homework and go to bed. Daddy may know a thing or two about the world, even if you think he's a dirty rotten theist.

It's pretty fucking simple, let the retards do what they want. Just don't let religion and law collide.

Should atheists be killed if they refuse to give up their beliefs, or should some other extreme preventive measure be taken, such as engineering any genes that may lead to atheism in a person or their offspring?
Or mandatory surgery on their brains to correct atheistic thinking? Should we take similar measures for all secular thought?

Or should we just wait for the rapture?

crucial difference is atheism is the truth, the rapture will never happen, but the singularity will.

>theistic thinking

Yup, that pretty much summarizes one of my friends. I fucking hate his opinions on things.

He´s getting perfect grades in computer science, but he can´t accept the reality of a no god situation.

>>3612198
the difference is that theists in principle shouldn't have a problem with being killed since most of them believe in an afterlife. The fact that they know they have something better waiting for them after they die while they still insist on hanging around on this earth fucking shit up means they are quite literally horrible horrible people.

would you be comfortable with him being killed if he refuses to give up his beliefs, or with him having mandatory brain surgery + genetic engineering?

I have noticed myself that disproportionaly many computer science students are theistic (when compared to other scientific fields, not general population). Why is that?

>> No.3612223

>>3612216

No, i don´t want anyone killed. It goes against my moral consciousness.

>> No.3612228

Not against theists, but gnostics.

I fully support the annihilation of all gnostics. You cannot be sane and be gnostic.

Computer Science is not computers or science but a field of applied mathematics. There are more religious people in mathematics than the sciences, although most of them don't fit the stereotype.

what IF your mother was a gnostic?

OP what you suggest is morally abhorrent to me as an atheist, a humanist and a holder of utilitarian ethics.

Killing someone for their beliefs is fucking horrible.

Modifying someone's brain and personality against their will is a crime against dignity and fucking horrible.

Eugenics won't have any effect, except to greatly inconvenience many people and make them feel helpless. That is stupid, and fucking horrible.

I see that you can define 'irrational' to mean a great deal of things, and use these policies to install a regime of terror and repression. That, especially, is fucking horrible.

How the hell do you plan to get people off religion by proposing dystopian solutions like this? It will unite them against you. It will unite all moral people against you, no matter what they believe.

Through science education and critical thinking is the way to a more intelligent, skeptical, empirically minded and rational society. Suppressing people for what they believe is antithetical for this. What you are proposing is comparable to the french revolutionaries, instituting a reign of terror in order to create a better society.

But their means defeated their end, for you cannot have a better society ruled by terrorists, totalitarians and tyrants

Are you actually an atheist or a troll?

No of course I've never fucking thought about it. Why would I try make the world better by doing things that will make it worse?

History is full of examples of theists doing this shit to atheists and other theists. I think we should aspire to be better than that.

Calm down mate, they should be provided with opportunity to see the error of their ways, not forced into it.
