I don’t think I have ever met a religious person dumb enough to believe that asking where a dead person is is a valid argument, but then again, maybe we live in very different places of the world.
Also, when has a religious person genuinely said “checkmate atheists”?
I know I should never underestimate Americans, but I think this is beyond it.
I am starting to feel like people read one comment which they reflexively, without much thought, thought was written by an asshole, and then just downvoted all the rest and upvoted everyone else without actually reading the conversation. Which is sad, but to be expected.
I kinda wonder whether there’s a cure. Beehaw certainly feels a lot more genuine, probably because they moderate carefully and disable downvotes. I should probably check it out more closely.
I keep a special place in my atheist mind for these kinds of people, where I can find joy in imagining a horrible eternal fate for them. It is not relevant to my core beliefs, I just think it’s fun to think about this man burning for eternity.
I don’t know then. where was he buried, was he cremated, was he strewn across the ocean. Kept in an urn sitting on a fireplace. etc.
But that’s just his body… Henry Kissinger’s limbs are not Henry Kissinger, so the question remains…
Edit: But seriously though, do you really think someone would actually buy these arguments? Is it not apparent that this is satire?
given your “dead is not a location” being in the negatives, I would say that some won’t realize it.
