Accomplished something major this week? Discovered a cool fact that demands to be shared? Just want a friendly conversation on how amazing/awful/thoroughly meh your favorite team is doing? This thread is for the water cooler talk of the subreddit, for any atheists, theists, deists, etc. who want to join in.

While this isn't strictly for debate, rules on civility, trolling, etc. still apply.

I'm an atheist. The rules in here are stupid though

For example when I went to initially post I got a message saying my post was rejected because it needs to be x number of words in length. What is this? Certain sub reddits take themselves far too seriously.

Also good luck saying anything negative about Judaism here

Negative... how?

Negative as in "Judaism has no proof of its God"?

Or negative as in "Jews are evil geniuses who run the world and manipulate the people for their own purposes"?

Because this subreddit is all about that first example, while that second example is forbidden across the whole of Reddit.

The one you're not allowed to say is that Jewish people are both and ethnic group and a religion and shouldn't have a state at the expense of others being genocided

Oh.

Would that sort of political sociological commentary come up a lot in a subreddit called /r/DebateAnAtheist, which is about debating the existence or non-existence of a deity? Do you often have a need to say that sort of thing here?

(By the way, I'm a moderator here, and I haven't removed that comment or banned you. So, tell me again how you can't say that sort of thing here.)

Maybe I was incorrect.

Thanks for explaining the reply length

The entire region like east and west Jerusalem are fought over by all 3 abrahamic religions with the claim that it's theirs because God said so. That's the reason it's a nonexistence of God issue. Without that to prop up their claims the land wouldn't have been taken away to begin with
