Great metaphor, actually, since cancer is most often caused or exacerbated by something else. But you're still missing my point by a mile. Keeping going after the symptom rather than the sickness, I guess. I'm sure that'll solve everything.
I don't mean to be disrespectful to those who you are replying to, but are you sure those are even regular people you're talking to, and not bots?
Either they're very fanatical and can't see outside of their box, or they're being intellectually dishonest in how they respond to you, seeming to miss your point that's being expressed very well and straightforward.
Eh, I don't think so. People (understandably) hyper-focus on religion, and Christianity in particular, and the terrible things done under them, and it can be hard to get them to view the larger scope of the situation.
Fair enough, but they seem to be overly obtuse about it, to a fault.
Nope human. Got meat organs and everything. I love how the only defense of religion is to personally attack the guy calling out what it does
I got your point. You refuse to address the issue and instead want us all to wander around in circles finding "deeper" reasons.
Swing and a miss again.
Nope.
