Wow, a whole big debate just because a bunch of religious people don't understand the fallacy of "Post hoc, ergo procter hoc."

Wow, a whole big debate just because a bunch of religious people don't understand the fallacy of "Post hoc, ergo procter hoc."

It couldn't possibly have anything to do with dirty slimeball politicians, greedy global megacorporations and billionaire playboys, fascism, racism, or climate change, income inequality, any of those things. Nope, the only thing it can be is that people growing out of ancient mythology and fairly tales somehow makes those fairy tales more likely to be true. Yeah, that must be it. It's like saying "ever since abortion was legalized, toothpaste sales have gone up"¡
"Philosophical illiteracy." ?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 OK, Mr. Arrogant - what, exactly, do you believe I'm ignorant about? I only have a humble bachelor's degree in philosophy (and one in English), plus 30 more years of additional study. What are YOUR qualifications? Insulting your betters on the internet doesn't count. I'd say the illiterate one is you, since 12 words is all you can manage.

Good isn't concerned with anyone's happiness.
Your philosophical illiteracy is showing. The core problem in the west. Illiterates.
