It is delusional to believe that Trump, ISIL, and the KKK are truth-tellers.

I don't care how many internet memes somebody has.

The use of internet memes as polygraph machines is pseudoscience, plain and simple.

We need to approach the claims of terrorists with some skepticism.

Just because terrorists choose to slur the religions of their victims is no excuse for us to jump on the bandwagon with the terrorists.

And just because Trump self-identifies as a "respecter of women", doesn't mean that we owe it to Trump to agree with him.

I don't care what any stupid internet meme says.

Trump, ISIL, and the KKK are liars, plain and simple.

And I refuse to respect how they self-identify when that self-identification is used to insult their victims, internet meme or no internet meme.

They have done absolutely nothing to earn my respect and to earn my assistance in pushing their propaganda and their agenda.

And those who push pseudoscience in defense of Trump, in defense of ISIL, and in defense of the KKK lose my respect.





Replacing rationality and skepticism with stupid and thoughtless pseudoscientific internet memes is not what atheism is all about.
