    For examples:
    CRT is an implicit form of reparations. Lenient bail for 'minorities' is an implicit form of reparations. The Floyd riots (and the refusal to recognize the Floyd riots as insurrections) were an implicit form of reparations.

    There is in atheism an obvious bigotry for anything or anyone believing in god(s) of any kind.:roll:

    As an atheist, you declare there is never a time you believe in something w/o evidence?

    If that were true, then there is in theism an obvious bigotry for anything or anyone who does not believe in the God or gods of that particular theism. You are trying desperately to pretend that disagreement is the same thing as bigotry. If that were true, then you are bigoted against everyone you've ever disagreed with.

    Both my quoted post and your post are true...This summarizes the bigotry of atheists and theists.

    Only if you are accusing yourself of the same bigotry every time you disagree with someone. Which is an irrational standard.

    Sure, in the mind of the atheist religion has one and only one meaning, and that is 'deity worship'. They conveniently omit ALL/ANY of the definitions of religion that apply to them. (Secular religions)

    What do atheists believe about the prominence of racism as a main factor why certain minorities can't make it in America?

    Realize I'm agnostic. I don't recognize evidence of god(s) but there is no proof there are no god(s)...Like there is no explanation of how the universe was created, for example.

    I posted co-morbidities...Catching Covid is irrelevant, IMO, when it comes to the hysteria surrounding Covid. Those with a high chance of dying (those with co-morbidities, for example) due to catching Covid is relevant, IMO, to the hysteria surrounding Covid.

    The actual cause of racism is more important than the perspective of certain racial groups or the perspective of political parties...Er, that would be a real tough sell to demand political parties not use their perspectives.:roll:

    what do you think the cause of racism is, do you have a critical race theory of your own?

    Well, they give the fruits of our labors to the slothful, and disability benefits to the capable. So why not name Atheism a religion. After all, Bob's buying...so drink up.

    So if you suck on a lemon and believe it's sweet, it therefore is sweet? LOL

    No.....one states that two plus two is four because it is, not because one believes it, but because they know it. Similarly, I don't believe a peach is sweet...I know it is. Likewise I don't believe that God lives. I know he does. A Carpenter doesn't believe his level is true. He knows it is, and trusts in it. One trusts in that which one knows to be true. And there is no turning or changing in God.

    Wanting to make racism a main factor of why certain minorities can't make it in America creates racism. Hating a certain skin color also creates racism.

    Off the top of my head, I can list 5 reasons more heinous than racism which prevents blacks, for example, from being successful in America:
    (1) Blacks are encouraged to be educated only to the completion of high school
    (2) Black leaders and influencers are all socialist.
    (3) The black community discourages independent thought.
    (4) Blacks don't eat right and they don't exercise
    (5) Blacks vote democratic about 95% of the time due to 1-4

    that sounds more like an example of racism than the theory of it's cause and you only addressed blacks, not whites

    This I agree with. If there is an all powerful God, he would be known if he wanted to be known, and would not be if he didn't want to be. This tells us that either the claims that he does are false or that he doesn't exist.

    The Bible is evidence against its own claims.

    I think I may be sensing a pattern in Koko's logic fails.

    The red text, that he mocks and calls Orwellian, isn't.

    The part he underlined isn't a contradiction, but I suspect the thinks it is.

    Most breads are gluten based. Gluten is not bread.

    No there isn't. Some atheists admire theists and wish they could be theists.
