Both Hitler and stalin were avid church goers in their youth, thats where they learned all their tricks.
I find strawmaning and slanting and gaslighting to be interchangeable.
It the framer's effect on the framer that makes it possible for a gaslghter to gaslight himself.

Assuming for a second that your ridiculous claim is correct and that transgenderism is a religion that disregards science.
Why do you mock it and hate it so?
Do transgenders create policy in this country?
You mentioned the discussion when Dawkins came out with God Delusion.
Do you remember what events unfolded in those years?
Do you remember these loons praying before they launched yet another uneccessary war that killed hundreds of thousands of people?
How dare we mock religion.
Bringing up religion as it was in the worldview of 1000 A.D. and relating it to present is pretty dishonest.
That's because you're misusing the term "gaslighting." As psychologists keep telling us.
Gaslighting, Narcissist, and More Psychology Terms You're Misusing
Mental-health experts say we often use psychology terms incorrectly—and that's a problem
Why Is the Term 'Gaslighting' So Popular Now ─ and So Misused?
It's a term that's often used in an argument. But gaslighting has a very specific meaning that is often lost. What is it and how can you know if you're really being gaslighted?

You used the exact opposite of this argument to defend biblical literalists, another one intellectually incapable of good faith debate
How about native Americans, slavery, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan...
He said the non religious killed more recently.
Mentioning the Crusades isn't dishonesty
It's a broad frame.
The fact that CS needed a narrow frame shows he's the one who not being honest.
I agree, Gaslighting became a misused term in the past few years
like the word literally
anyone seen the movie Gaslight?

I don’t believe in god. It’s not my job, or my interest, to convince others god doesn’t exist. If my mom is happy believing it, I’m happy to play along.
I have no conviction regarding this issue. In fact, I’m open to being convinced to the contrary.
Not only that but there's a difference between killing in the name of religion and killing because you happened to have absence of religion.
Stalin didn't send people to gulag in the name of atheism.
He was a psychopath.
Uh, no.
I said at one time the literal belief in the Bible was likely a net positive for one's mental health.
When you're lucky to make it to age 25 religion likely played a big role in pushing humanity forward. Your worldview in Medieval Europe and the Middle East would have likely been hopeless without it.
Did it help people commit atrocities? YES.
But was the net benefit of Christianity spreading across Europe ultimately a positive? Probably so. Despite the bad.
“The intent of gaslighting really is to cause confusion and sow the seeds of doubt,” Martinez says. “It can be a very coercive and controlling tactic.”That's because you're misusing the term "gaslighting." As psychologists keep telling us.

People do that all the time here.
Trump does it all the time.
Those here who parrot trump do it too.
Maybe the trump guys here are victim of trumps gaslighting too?
Like I said, I find it odd they don't mention the framing effect.
No, he compared to the godless in or maybe since the 20th century compared to religious across all time
seems unbelievable
None of those leaders killed in the name of godlessness. They killed for power and used a ban on religion to keep it.
Related, Mein Kampf is clear that Hitler thought he was doing God’s work.
