Yes.

Clearly not.

I find this a seemingly straight-forward point I’ve never gotten a religious person to acknowledge.

99.99999% of people follow the religion they do because their parents did. Not because it’s true. That Christian, that Hindu, that Jew. It’s just because they were told it was true at birth.

If their religion was actually the Truth, why would that be the case…?

For the same sort of reasons there are (generally) 12 months in a year and there are 7 days on a calendar, and for the same reason that “John” is a name, and why London is placed where it is, and etc?

Because some dudes decided some stuff, and some other dudes decided some stuff influenced like that, and so on. And some stuff got changed, and some stuff was inconvenient to change or there was no real reason to change it.

The year is ironic in the exact context you quoted I guess. But the days of the week and many months were named for other mythologies.

Doesn’t sound like you know much about atheists.

but it seems to me that even a damn dog can make a creative guess about how the world works

…it can?

That’s not true at all.

I definitely wasn’t happier with my computer back then.

TempleOS it is.

They’re definitely not going to layboff half the company.

OP will never acknowledge this.

Did they get a good workout?

I’m sorry. If you exclude the millions of sites using it, it is virtually unused.

Yes. And as they said they only temporarily suspended it while they figured out what their options were.

But people gotta feed their outrage addictions, I get it.

Ah, you’re here to shit on something you’re out of the loop on

They suspended it temporarily while they figured out what to do, then reinstated already.

Yes, because they just want to shit on stuff.

K, that’s why they undid the the temporary change.

For whatever reason, this one makes me very angry.

That’s a good point. I’ll use paper maps for, say, park trails all the time.
