That’s as may be, but that’s not the word that was used in the meme.

No atheist hates god. How can you hate something you don’t think exists?

You presented the world of US science as the whole world of science. You pretended just because in America, 50% of scientists are religious, that would mean 50% of scientists in the entire world are religious, which is far from the truth. And you still refuse to accept that this renders your whole argument baseless. So stop wasting my time.

You committed a logical fallacy, were called out on it and now you try to pretend it didn’t happen. Talking to you is futile.

Citing a study about science in the USA, a very religious country, as if that in any way reflected the world of science as a whole… well, okay then.

Even if the judiciary system in your country doesn’t do its work, people taking justice in their own hands is a fundamentally bad thing for a society. I don’t pity predators if they get what they deserve, but I pity the society that suddenly has to define boundaries - where do you draw the line? Not all cases are clear cut. Not everyone operates on the same set of morals.

Example: Religious zealots really do believe that abortions kill children. If society doesn’t categorically forbid people to take justice into their own hands but goes “well, in this case, we can all understand”, you will have other people acting in ways they perceive as equally justifiable. And then abortion doctors get murdered.

The users who downvoted me don’t seem to have this understanding, they would rather have revenge. If you people don’t understand that self-justice will ultimately lead to a more violent society, then go ahead, downvote me again. You’re the reason your country isn’t a more civilized place, wherever you live.

Religion has no reason to argue with science,

Well, that sounds good on paper. It would be nice if over the centuries, religion wouldn’t have ceaselessly attacked and persecuted scientists. If religion was “only philosophy”, there wouldn’t be so many religious zealots not only denying but actively trying to ban the teaching of evolution at schools. Nope… religion is anti-science. It has to be, because science is the one thing that has gradually taken away religion’s authority over the minds of people. Religion is a mind virus, science is the cure.

Is that really the only problem you see with people taking justice into their own hands? Less oversight?

Correct. He might try to screw your head off.

I bought a bottle of Rabbit Hole Dareringer before Trump got elected. Very decent stuff. But now I’m boycotting bourbon until America comes to its senses.
