Atheist states: I would not want Islam taught for the same reason I don’t want atheism taught.

An Atheist named Mike Touchstone posted the following on Facebook:

Some worldview is going to get taught whether it’s Christianity, Islam, or secular atheistic humanism. Neutrality is a myth. The question is who’s worldview is right.  I would not want Islam taught for the same reason I don’t want atheism taught. I would not want them taught because they are wrong. Why do atheists always think they get the default position?

I, True Freethinker, commented

Atheism is a world view so it can’t be default by definition.

Mike Touchstone

I don’t think you understood my point. Flip this meme over to your worldview. It would read like this: I can’t understand why atheists want their worldview taught in school. If a christian did this, you would say they’re “indoctrinating our kids”. But because it’e atheism, it’s fine? Makes no sense to me.

Please attempt to deal with, “Atheism is a world view so it can’t be default by definition.”

Mike Touchstone

I think you are misunderstanding what I’m saying because your response doesn’t make any sense. its not 1 of us has a worldview we are trying to push on everyone else and one of us stays completely neutral with our worldview. We are both pushing a worldview.

You must be using “default” in some different context than I used the word. Then you go on to say something in the definition of atheism doesn’t allow a default position. I’m not avoiding your point. It’s incoherent. I can’t respond because it doesn’t make any sense. You have completely avoided my point and are somehow acting like I’m avoiding yours. Deal with my point that if we take out the word “christian” in the OP and put in the word “atheist”, the meme falls apart.

True Freethinker

Again, “Atheism is a world view so it can’t be default by definition.”

Now, what, in your worldview, is wrong with (supposed) incoherence?

Mike Touchstone

I won’t be responding to anymore comments. You’re trolling

True Freethinker

The record in this thread is that you won’t be responding because you’re literally incapable of doing so since your worldview is a collapsed failure and so you invented the “You’re trolling” excuse which is also a genetic logical fallacy: is there anything wrong with committing logical fallacies, on your worldview?

That brought the discussion to an end as no more replies were forthcoming.
