    Even funnier when they never took any religious studies class or anything.

    I hate gatekeeping too but “it’s up to interpretation” used to imply they know fundamentals of philosophy and have the necessary historic context knowledge to form opinions.

    Hell, at some point they would have to learn latin or hebrew just to not have their arguments ignored instantly.

    Meanwhile these people make fun of college philosophy lectures and only know history about WW2 and how germany could have “won” according to that one 4chan user.

    If they heard anyone speaking hebrew they would call the police because “it sounded Arab.”

      This reminds of a similar pet peeve - people who hate on the humanities but worship pseudo-scientific economic ideology (aka capitalist religion).

      Those people need a philosophy class more than most.
