Water is known to cause death and serious harm.

So if you throw water at me I can throw a lit firework back at you? Same thing?

His point, which you pretend to not understand, is that the bar needs to be higher. Both water and fireworks are fairly innocuous items, even though both can be used to inflict harm and even though fireworks can be more easily weaponized than water.

That's why drowning somebody or attempting to drown somebody is a crime. Just like using fireworks as a weapon against somebody.

You can’t drown someone with fireworks.

You can't drown somebody with a gun either.

Super soaker? Checkmate atheist!
In fact, let's use your argument. People drown accidentally in swimming pools regularly. So then if some "protester" decided to set up one of those portable pools and forcibly hold people down under water in one, wouldn't they be guilty of attempted murder?
Using things that are known to cause death and serious harm in a way that is intended to cause death and serious harm is in fact the thing I'm against.
