Morning everyone. I’d like to share a Word of the Master video with you today.
The intolerance is strong with religion and really is only a path to further divisiveness and conflict. Let’s not continue the religious cycle of marginalizing and fearing other people based on bronze age melodrama.

Isn’t it ironic how the arguments used by so many theists who assume they are slam-dunk powerhouses in their favour suddenly become ‘secular’ intolerance and bigotry when used against them?

It is like what happened in JZ’s abortion thread.
Alarm bells should be going off in one’s head if your argument *only* works with people that share your point of view.
Dodging the questions, misinterpreting what others say, are all big red flags that are saying – hey, this argument isn’t rock solid, time to reevaluate.
The problem comes in when dogmatic belief dictates that x argument ‘must’ be true – unravel one and the threadbare reality of the other positions comes to light (I’m thinking about religion, of course).
