That's a non-sequitur since deities are not relevant to philosophy.

I don't understand your response, for I have no interest in cake.

Does that mean that you disagree with Donald Trump regarding global
climate science? He incorrectly claims that climate change "is a hoax
that was created by the Chinese."

Progress is real. Why do you insist that it isn't?

Considering what they contribute and what they encourage, I am
inclined to disagree with you.

That does seem to be the case with the cycle of life that has death
as its natural finalizing stage. Death is not to be feared, but to
be understood as the ultimate completion of every individual's
overall intellectual adventure which most call "life experience."

"Our country does have a long tradition of free expression, which
is enshrined in our constitution and our law, and we do not stop
individual citizens from expressing their views no matter how
distasteful they may be. There are of course different views
around the world about the outer limits of free speech and free
expression, but there should be no debate about the simple
proposition that 'violence in response to speech' is not
acceptable. We all, whether we are leaders in government, leaders
in civil society, or religious leaders, must draw the line at
violence, and any responsible leader should be standing up now and
drawing that line."

67th USA Secretary of State (September 11, 2012)
