      When you’re dealing with people that believe in childish made-up bullshit, you have to dumb down your level of discussion.

      Mmm nope. My response makes sense. Your circular logic is objectively fucking stupid. Sorry you were brainwashed, but the real world actually exists and is completely free from supernatural bullshit of any kind.

          It’s really fucking funny that you can confidently say things like “if you don’t believe in LITERAL DEMONS that means you’re possessed by one!” while being aware of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

            Well look at yourself, taunting, insulting, mocking. Do you think you might have some hitchhikers in your psyche? What possessed you to go online and be an asshole today?

              Well I clicked on an article that indicated we are (painfully slowly) advancing as a civilization, and there’s a fundie dipshit in the comments hollering about demons. I felt, and continue to feel, the desire to call out your ridiculous fantasy horseshit. You are confusing reality with a series of children’s tales from a thousand years ago.

      And you are spouting mythology as if it had basis in fact. I would say the indoctrination into supernatural belief causes far more harm, and is far dumber, than tossing about some insults to an internet stranger.

      Go LARP with your own kind.

          You are talking about “demon” on an atheist magazine, what else did you expect? Why don’t you rephrase for clarity? Because otherwise I see no discussion possible.

              So far you have taken a lot of liberties talking down to people.

              Can you rephase your arguments by not using the word “asshole” or can you not?

                  Actually no. It’s the best word for this situation.

                  Don’t say that I didn’t give you a fair chance.

                  Then it’s settled. By your own admission you cannot follow the very first article of “Rule 1”.
