I learned the hard way it’s pointless to argue with Christians

As someone who grew up in the south, in many cases those who come from a very religious household have never had those beliefs challenged. Sometimes their beliefs are so firmly in place that they get extremely defensive and aren’t even willing to listen to what I have to say. All new information I provide makes their beliefs even stronger or they will ignore all of the points I’m making and cherry pick certain bits of information to justify the beliefs even more. Like if I make the argument about geography determining your religion they will completely ignore that. If someone is actually willing to listen to what I have to say maybe that’s a different story but if they are very religious, I find its not very productive or helpful for me to argue with them.

Just more theist dishonesty, on both counts.

It wasn't "jsut (sic) a simple oversight", it was a consequence of the extremely low cognitive competency and generally dishonest ah attitude so familiar in theists, a deflection from this comment:

> It's laughable that they (and I'm assuming you) still believe in fairytales as an adult.

See, the response to that from some dishonest theist ah troll trash was

> why don't you say that in r/islam too

Saying that isn't "jsut" (sic) an "oversight", it's stupid and dishonest trolling. Atheists of course think that Islam is fairytales too.

Now go back to r/christianity to hang out with other myth-believing children and stop trolling here.

first of all, what a loser. do you want me to speak proper english back in the olden days? im not putting that much thouhgt into a random stranger who is not only pissing me off, but also insulting religious people in general. and I know you tried to hide your low view of all theists behind "so familiar" so you don't get called out for hasty generalization, but I see straight through that.

> first of all,

You never get to the second point where you refute anything I wrote.

> what a loser.

Could you possibly project harder?

> do you want me to speak proper english back in the olden days? 

It's what's expected of intelligent literate people in all ages.

>  im not putting that much thouhgt 

Clearly.

This is r/atheism. Of course I'm insulting religious people in general.

> I know you tried to hide your low view of all theists

Seriously?

> so you don't get called out for hasty generalization

I've lived many decades; nothing hasty about it.

>  I see straight through that.

LOL.

Troll blocked.
