    Right.

    To say that some basketball players are belligerent about their sport doesn’t mean that nobody is belligerent about not playing the sport.

    So there are people on the court trying to force you to wear their jerseys and the ball at you.
    And there are people who try to take the jerseys off players, puncture the ball, and protest outside courts.

    I absolutely agree there are more belligerent religious people than there are belligerent atheists, what I’m saying is that belligerent people on both sides share a lot in common.

      and protest outside courts.

      Pretty sure those protests are inspired by basketball fans who try to shove their fandom down our throats. Please go away. You’re winning no supporters.

        Oh, so you’re explicitly saying you were seeking an echo chamber.

        Is that a whiff of belligerence I smell? Why yes, it is.

            You mean the tired sports metaphor that I’ve been absolutely shitting on all over this section and nobody has yet produced a single reasonable response to, because it is clearly a silly metaphor that nobody was ever meant to take as seriously as y’all are taking it?

            I’m trying to have a reasonable discussion with y’all but all you can say is

            bUt SpOrTs 😭😭😭

            Like… I agree with his assessment.
            But you are too fucking blinded by your holy conviction to even consider that they can both be true at the same time

            I swear y’all are Republicans.
