    Thanks Quagmire. I didn't mean to start an argument, I just wanted to know who else was concerned. Didn't think I'd have to defend the question itself in such a way. :sorry1:

    I don't know what word was censored there, but I'm pretty sure I'm not one of them. :p I'm also a bit disappointed by the concept that intolerance is the correct response to religion. Or that concern over repression is something to be shrugged off. Who exactly are these repugnant theists...

    Because it's wrong. Sigh..... I actually don't like to waste time going over what was said already, if you didn't read my words as I meant them, I find it better to clarify my point than to go back and forth arguing over who is or is not "back peddling". But since you want to force the hand...

    I haven't. If you refuse to accept the clarification I gave you, so be it.

    You might as well ask what's the trouble with being intolerant. I would think the answer is fairly clear.

    So are you saying that the only way to show intolerance to another belief system is through some attempt to physically harm those who hold it? It depends on what you consider "damage"... I've yet to personally see anti-theism in a place of power where it could cause any real "damage" in the...

    Very much so. You can disagree if you like, but the very idea that we are talking about a philosophy based completely on being "anti" anything else, would seem to indicate the truth of the matter.

    To me these lines seem to show a bit of a disconnect with what's happening outside of these forums.

    There's a difference to having a "right" to do something, and it being the right thing to do. If you come across a theist who is spreading "absurdities" I would expect you to give your opinion. That does not however mean that anti-theism is the proper response to something you didn't like from...

    New member who is concerend about anti-theism

    I know what I said. The problem is you chose to interpret it in such a way that you believe I was talking about a certain type of tactic being used by certain people, when I was not. I clarified the point already. I don't really care how, or why anti-theists are against religion. I find...

    New member who is concerend about anti-theism

    In my opinion, being intolerant of what other people believe is hatred, however it was "meant". And there's quite a huge difference between a warning against unchecked theism, and what I'm talking about. Anti-theism isn't a simple warning, it's being "anti" (against) the concept completely...

    New member who is concerend about anti-theism

    And how exactly does this apply to me? Did I in some way "fail to realize" that some theists may be dishonest in their attempts to spread their faith? If that was your point you've assumed incorrectly. I realize that theists may very well attempt such tactics as well, but as I explained...

    Great question.

    New member who is concerend about anti-theism

    No. Again, it has nothing to do with what someone is "doing" but with the underlying basis of the arguments themselves and how they NEED to be spread. I feel that people should believe whatever rings true to them, regardless of the religion or belief they may have. Anti-theism is the...

    What gives your 'God' the right to damn? What condones burning for eternity?

    I don't believe that heaven is a place for good people, and hell is a place for bad. I believe that hell is basically, here and now, on earth. Hell being a separation from God. Those who chose to live an earthly existence will simply remain separated after death. I actually don't think "being...

    Not really. I'm not so concerned with the "tactics" of individuals, as I am the spread of what is an inherently dishonest form of argumentation.
