These last two decades? I don’t know.

Up to then? Very certainly yes. There is a reason why I left them.

You left Scandinavia because Scandinavia was not religious enough for you?

I left Scandinavia because Scandinavia was too actively antireligious for me.

How so? In what way?

Be a Young Earth Creationist in Paris, people will guess what sect you are.

Be a Young Earth Creationist in Malmö, people will guess what diagnosis you are.

THAT’S Antireligious.

Let me verify that I have understood you correctly…

Are you saying that if you — openly — profess belief in claims that are abject nonsense — such as the claim that the entire Earth is younger than the very ground you stand on — then you expect people to not have opinions about your stance, just because it is religious?

And if people do have opinions, then you uproot yourself and move somewhere else and call them “anti-religious”, as if that was a bad thing?

Mr. Karnerfors, I think you are a Scandinavian, and your “claims that are abject nonsense” is precisely what I mean by an Antireligious attitude.

It can also be described as religious adherence to Old Earth and Evolution paradigm, which exists here too.

But in Paris it is more like asking what sect I am or was raised in, in Malmö it risked becoming what diagnosis I had.

“then you expect people to not have opinions about your stance, just because it is religious?”

Absolutely not, but I prefer people who can recognise I have another religion than they over people who see my religion as insanity.

I actually prefer people who are up for a debate, that’s a sport I prefer over “pajkastning”.

Guessing about a diagnosis is not an opinion, it is an insult. It is a calumny. Insult if to my face, calumny if behind my back. Either way a threat to my liberties.

And how that is not a bad thing is a mystery.


It seems, Karnerfors was not up for debate. I haven't seen him defend millions of years or ground I walk on being older than the entire earth or universe. He preferred throwing a custard pie to my face about my sensibility over the type of custard pie throwing (pajkastning) I had to deal with instead of debate in Sweden.
