    Hi! I used to frequent the atheist community boards over there. It’s lower traffic here, obviously, but there’s a distinct lack of people who come confidently charging in with yet another Kalam argument that they heard last Sunday and that absolutely without a doubt proves god exists. I suspect that part of it is that lemmy on the whole is more difficult to get running (picking an instance, which seems like a bigger deal than it is, then having to sub to multiple communities with the same name/topic so you don’t miss out on conversations are both things that should be addressed).

    Anyway, the community here is still small enough and bottom-up enough that we can make it into the kind of service we’d like to see.

      confidently charging in with yet another Kalam argument

      I have a totally new and revolutionary argument that is absolutely not the Kalam!

      P1 - Everything has a cause

      P2 - The universe isn’t eternal because I say so

      P3 - The universe must have had a cause

      C - Therefore, the cause of the universe must be Carl Sagan attempting to bake an apple pie from scratch

      Checkmate, atheists!

      Yes. Thank you. I’m here for it.

      And I agree. I’m old and I sometimes pine for the old days on the Internet, when the dumber amongst us were effectively locked out.
