Literally nobody. This is confusing atheism with agnosticism.
Or, if I’m being charitable, they’re confusing the starting position and the conclusion. If you start from a position of neutrality and follow evidence-based reasoning, the conclusion is either atheism or agnosticism.

As I said elsewhere there is a dramatic difference between bucking puritanical norms around sex and vulgarity, and making light of an attempt to assassinate a former president in which an innocent bystander was killed
That has absolutely nothing to do with JB not wanting to make light of an assassination attempt where an innocent person died.
There’s a huge difference between bucking puritanical social norms around sex and vulgarity, and making light of a situation where an innocent bystander was killed, and a former president and current candidate was shot at. Those things are drastically different and it’s honestly crazy to me that people are trying to use JB’s prior sophomoric humor as a reason why he should have been okay with what might charitably be called gallows humor
:shrug: Ever consider the dude actually thinks KG crossed a line? Not only that but he’s put himself front and center instead of KG, who doesn’t have the type of resources JB has to roll with the punches when lunatics come after him. Spineless would have been letting KG deal with the fallout from the comment while he melted into the background saying “no comment”.
Y’all are legitimately being insanely selfish. You want your entertainment and fuck the consequences for the people involved. It’s disgusting. Not one of you is considering what the actual people involved want or what’s best for them. You want a sock puppet. Get over yourselves.
I didn’t say it wasn’t justifiable? The content of the statement is justifiable. That doesn’t mean it was a smart thing to say in the time and place he said it.
Jack Black gives a fuck about Nintendo, that’s my point
Curious what sort background qualifies you to make better decisions than either of them and their undoubtedly overpaid yet highly experienced staff.
The “escalation” wasn’t needless. In fact while it may appear to be an escalation, for all you know it was a mitigation against journalists who were already preparing to make giant headlines and give FOX news another thing to rile their base with.
Sometimes you see a train barreling towards you and jump off the tracks despite the injury you know you’re going to take when you land.
No but I am unfortunately having to repeat myself a lot
And when Republicans are trying to star in Nintendo movies maybe that will actually be a relevant comparison
I’m not going to retype my explanation of why this is a childish view of the situation. You can read my other comments in a different fork of this thread if you want to learn why this is self-righteous, self-satisfying crap. That’s what YOU want. It’s not what’s actually best for JB or Kyle.
Speedrunning Godwin’s law, are we?
Jack Black distancing himself from talk of assassination isn’t what leads us to WW3 you absolute mongrel. Trump being a malleable narcissist with delusions of dictatorship, a soulless GOP, funding genocide, failing to stop Russian westward expansion, and actual spineless Democrats who can’t play the game half as well as their opposition are what lead us to WW3
Literally nothing? Because I do too? Can you read?
lmao calling it spineless is the epitome of missing the forest for the trees. JB is taking heat he never had to while Kyle sits off to the side looking like a victim now. JB gets to keep his career, and they’ll be back on tour in two months when everyone has forgotten this happened. You all want him to make a stink for YOUR own satisfaction when, in reality, he’s taking the L like a champ because it’s what’s best for everyone involved after a mistake was made.
Bunch of children who can’t see past the tips of your own noses, you lot.

Glad there’s at least one other person here who gets that this wasn’t a political decision but a PR one
It’s completely harmless.
It’s still a stupid thing today on a stage next to Jack Black.
People can down vote me all they want, it doesn’t change the fact that regardless of how justifiable the sentiment is - and it’s a sentiment I completely agree with - it was just plain stupid to say in that situation
I’ve always understood the colloquial meanings in practice today to be that atheism is active disbelief where agnosticism is essentially choosing not to choose (for lack of information).
I understand your point, linguistically and philosophically, but I don’t really think that’s how most people - even atheists and agnostics - use the terms today.
