given your "dead is not a location" being in the negatives, I would say that some won't realize it.
I don't think I have ever met a religious person dumb enough to believe that asking where a dead person is is a valid argument, but then again, maybe we live in very different places of the world.
Also, when has a religious person genuinely said "checkmate atheists"?
I know I should never underestimate Americans, but I think this is beyond it.
never, never underestimate people. Ever!
I am starting to feel like people read one comment which they reflexively, without much thought, thought was written by an asshole, and then just downvoted all the rest and upvoted everyone else without actually reading the conversation. Which is sad, but to be expected.
I kinda wonder whether there's a cure. Beehaw certainly feels a lot more genuine, probably because they moderate carefully and disable downvotes. I should probably check it out more closely.
