    I think you’ve lost the thread. They are explaining why you are privileged not to have to lie by giving examples of situations that would compel many people to lie.

    Would you say that you’ve been in any of those situations?

      The whole lying bit itself was a “lost the thread” moment because it was in response to someone saying that they couldn’t say something nice about USA without lying. Which has nothing to do with lying to protect yourself or your position. Turning an offhand “I don’t like lying” into a lecture about privilege isn’t going to win any allies.

      Lost the thread to a theist on an atheist instance. Lol sure. Atheist are not as incredibly dumb as theists and have a bit more logical thought than that.

        Now I think you’re a loser because you’ve lost the thread and misinterpreted what I said to mean you’re losing.

        I am not a theist and I see that you’re just not paying attention to what you’re responding to. Almost like Christians to preach while closing your eyes and ears.
