like, people will post something about Christianity, and i’ll spend a decent amount of time writing a thoughtful reply based on radical liberation theology only to have my comment immediately rejected by the person i was replying to because they’re only really interested in dunking on the stupid, idiot religioids… i don’t mind anyone dunking on religious institutions, because basically all of them are horrible, and i, obviously, understand that many may have religious trauma. but, still, it saddens me that so many trannies seem so fundamentally incapable of engaging with other ways of interpreting life and our place in the Universe. like, they’ve just replaced fundamentalist religion with fundamentalist atheism, and, tbh, even though the latter tends to produce significantly better political positions and outcomes, i do think they’re pretty much just as anti-intellectual at their core… and, i guess, i just feel like if there’s one group of people who should at least be somewhat open to hearing out other perspectives than the dominant one, it’d be trannies :I
