If “being useful” is your argument for it, I don’t think you’re ever going to see eye to eye with people who don’t want it.
It’s like you’re arguing about the good things the church does when it’s a discussion on separation of church and state.
- bee_rider 3y agoReligion seems like a needlessly incendiary example that is going to bring up some strong rhetoric. But I mean I’m an atheist and I think religion is, on net, bad. But we’ve allowed a sort of less dangerous version of it to persist in most advanced countries, in the form of separation of church and state. If it was really just all bad, I suppose we’d ban it altogether. I think people can generally see that there are some pros to things they don’t like. Not engaging with the aspects of something that are inconvenient to your case puts you in the realm of propaganda and rhetoric, not good faith discussion.
