You want to be religious, have god involved in your life, fine by me. Do it at home, in church but not in public/government establishments like schools or court.

The Big Bang Theory on the other hand, I am kinda torn because we don't have legit proof, so I don't really subscribe to being a big beliver of that theory, and I am open-minded for more legit proofs we get in the future.

But evolution literally is a theory. I see why you made the distinction though because a lot of people are ignorant to what a theory in science actually is. They conflate it with the word guess or idea when it is much more than that.
Other than that the BB-theory is realtively well supported and the best explanation available atm.

Yes, I know that theory in science is very well supported. I guess schools still had to say evolution theory so that creationalists don't get triggered because their children are being "brainwashed".

damn, there was a Blaire White thread on ATRL while I was sleeping that has now been closed! I'm triggered.
I was screaming at people saying she was "right-wing conservative" and also the same people who were saying how some of her audience are trash that she attracts were also the same people defending what type of BLM movement attracts! Oh, the irony 
I do hope Blaire makes some videos on atheism since she herself is also an atheist, but right now there is no such hot topic about "atheist oppresion" like there is about "islamophobia11". Hmm... I wonder why that it? Atheists are also minority and face prejudice just as much, if not more, than muslims. But why don't SJWs don't make videos on how we are victims of society?

It's time you realised that those sjws will not give a **** about you if you're white. Doesn't matter what religion, nationality or sexuality. If you're white, you are part of the problem

The funniest thing to me is that she already has a video responsing to every comment people made about and debunking it. I hate to be the one who has to "defend" other people on a forum but people in that thread didn't even bother to give a fair judgement. That's why you can't have a discussion anymore these days, because pepople are obsessed with their labels and think they have to agree with everything people who use the same label say.Instead of discussing they rather attack anyone who says anything different and this goes for both sides.

Too true Lucas. Like how people were accused of being transphobic for not naming Caitlyn a hero or how they thought I was transphobic because I said enforcing gender neutral pronouns was absurd. That doesn't mean that I deny the possibility of a transition between two genders, but no, it's either my way or you're a biggot, as if I haven't been to rallys and support groups for such things.

Not trying to be insensitive or whatever, though it has become practically impossible with the trigger mentality that's been trendy the past few years, but I'm of the opinion that you're either male or female. What you identify as is something any sane person shouldn't give a flying **** about or act on. I could go on and criticize gender switching surgeries but I know the SJWs are waiting and I'm not here for another WP. Anyway, what does this topic have to do with religion. Let's talk about how we need to castrate every single religious person out there.

This thread morphing into a right wing thread 
I'm all for transgender rights. Agender and nonbinary people exist and are here to stay, deal with it.

I find it ironic how I come to ATRL and get labelled as "right wing" and then go to other forums and news sites where people call me "libtard" in comments sections 
My views belong in left-wing, but not in regressive ultra-far left that make hypocritical, unequal, regressive arguments that always get clocked with critical facts. 
"Agender and nonbinary people" got destroyed in those two videos I posted above. Deal with the facts.

I'm pretty sure most people support here support transgender rights as well.
It's just that nonbinary and agender identities are not supported by science.
That doesn't mean people can't identify as those things and I support people's right to do so and live their life according to this but people don't get to scream "bigot" at everyone who questions these labels especially since no one seems to be able to bring forth actual support and explanations for their label.

Umm, I'm a dragon who eats rock and you don't get to tell me otherwise. I exist, and I'm here to stay, deal with it

I'm not right wing and I'm a big supporter of the transgender community. I have a friend who is taking hormone shots as we speak. I also have a diploma in linguistics and I just want people to stop making non gender neutral pronouns into signs of oppression. It's stupid, the He and She pronouns are here to stay forever no matter how many times you get triggered and that is what you have to deal with. They are not signs of oppression and don't innately carry any negative connotations. People have used the word gay in a negative light for almost a century, they still do. Straight people still use "thats gay" as an insult. What am I supposed to do, come up with a whole new sexuality and call myself that just cuz I don't like the negative connotations society has placed on the word despite its meaning? Ofc not, I will still say I'm gay and there is nothing wrong with it.

This thread used to be one of my favorites and now it turned into such a bigoted mess! Lol who cares what other people want to identify as, as long as it doesn't hurt you. Stop antagonizing minorities to make you feel better about yourself and you're no better than the crazy religious people we all hate by doing this.

I'm so confused what gender identity has to do with atheism. Like....
Just change the title to "Right-Wing Users Hangout" or something.
Soon, the same users are gonna post videos trying to disprove anti-black racism exists. None of this is related to being Atheist, which is ironic, since what's so off-putting as an Atheist is seeing so many users make their entire lives about being an Atheist that they find delight in fighting with people who believe in God.
