HOOOOoold your horses, i didnt have a thesis at all, my point is you shoul be you, not whatever subculture feels attractive or safe. And you wouldnt stop in my town, trust me.
satan isnt very old btw, its as old as christianity which is about 2000/120.000 years of sapients
give or take a few 10.000
i said "define"
not identify
the problem is people defining themselves by their subculture
and getting defensive about it, it bothers
others
thats where the conflict lies
i wasnt planning on starting a discussion either
and atheists, as i see it, are exactly like believers
both are dogmatic
one believes without proof
the other believes NOT without proof
and fear not, all my gods and demons have no name because they were here before speech
i think you misunderstood a few bits , but thats okay, i get that all the time
and please dont give me the defensive "youre not smarter than me" routine back on this (if thats your first reflex then please re flect) because thats not at all what i intended
There are people that define themselves by subcultures but most of them happen to be "Caucasian". People of color never had the privilege to define themselves. White America defines everyone and everything. That's just a fact. America is a country of WASPs and they shape mainstream culture. Period.
And how do you know with question that any deity was here before speech? I come from the cult of "I don't know"
