Logicallunatic replied to Jack Lee's discussion 'Why tolerate the intolerant - when do we become militant atheists?'"I think Karl Popper summed up perfectly what to me is the defining statement on this:
"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to…"

Indeed. But none are remotely connected to the existence of a "god" or religion.
Face it, religion and "god" are founded on the…"
Simon Paynton replied to Jack Lee's discussion 'Why tolerate the intolerant - when do we become militant atheists?'"But when you say "educate", surely you mean "de-convert". You seem to equate "rational" with "correct". Rational, in an atheist sense, just means scientific, intellectual, materialist. But…"
Jack Lee replied to Jack Lee's discussion 'Why tolerate the intolerant - when do we become militant atheists?'"Well, I disagree. It's not a case of "de-converting" people. It's a case of educating them.
I'd like a world full of people who are rational. That might be asking a lot, but the more people who are turned off religion, the…"
Simon Paynton replied to Jack Lee's discussion 'Why tolerate the intolerant - when do we become militant atheists?'"I don't believe we should be trying to de-convert people, I think we just need to get religious people to clean up their game. They're only human, they get confused and led astray. Their underlying concepts are sound, and in…"
Jack Lee replied to Jack Lee's discussion 'Why tolerate the intolerant - when do we become militant atheists?'"Well I think in part it's because a lot of people don't like to stand out from the crowd. There's safety in numbers, and many people think that because a lot of people think a certain way then they must be right.
And so they go along…"
Jack Lee replied to Jack Lee's discussion 'Why tolerate the intolerant - when do we become militant atheists?'""That's why I can't keep my mouth shut about religion".
Just about sums it up for me, too."
xfundie replied to Jack Lee's discussion 'Why tolerate the intolerant - when do we become militant atheists?'""...it's an absurdity that causes a lot more problems than it fixes." THAT, right there, is why I can't keep my mouth shut about religion. It slows progress and stumps knowledge. It's not just intolerance of other…"
diggerbanks replied to Jack Lee's discussion 'Why tolerate the intolerant - when do we become militant atheists?'"Hey, don't get me wrong, me too. At least I won't take nonsensical, attempts to modify my behaviour based on 2,000+ year old ignorance and/or fantasy.
I have been a part of a religion (not christian) and I miss very much certain aspects of…"
diggerbanks replied to Jack Lee's discussion 'Why tolerate the intolerant - when do we become militant atheists?'"I was in debate with christian whose best argument was that science can't explain itself. Desperate stuff.
Self-hypnosis or mass-hypnosis? "
diggerbanks replied to Jack Lee's discussion 'Why tolerate the intolerant - when do we become militant atheists?'"I reckon it is the ability for critical thinking. The old adage "ignorance is bliss"
You should come to lunaticoutpost for a bit of fun. It is quite incredible how middle america condones the medieval mindset.

- Because it's utter bollocks, a monumental lie, totally irrelevant to the 21st century, and too many people who believe that crap have too much power and need to be educated about it, as well as be disempowered, ridiculed and made to see what they represent.
