Hallmark Apologizes, Backtracks After Saying It Would Pull Ads with Lesbian Kiss

59. You know what Theistic means right?

Just checking.

I'm not modifying the definition of 'atheistic' to suit my rhetorical point and exclude 2 live and one dead communist countries from the list of atheistic countries. The three communist examples are literally theocracies in practice and function, and exclude themselves from the venn circle of 'Atheistic', whatever they may claim to be.

It does not matter that they say they are atheistic. They are political theocracies. If you did simple word substitution of their political language with say, the monarchic language of England/the Anglican Church, they would be pretty much indistinguishable. They've elevated a political theory to a metaphysical religious status.

Words have meaning. You don't get to sling 'no true Scotsman' without knowing what it means.



Edit: I am kind of curious what the text at the bottom of that image says, but the imagery seems clear to me, and is common.
