Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

And the people who come at you with Pascal's Wager like it's this brilliant new idea that they just thought of all by themselves, and has any sort of persuasive value whatsoever.

I am Matt. 23:15!anon from above. It has personally been my experience that evangelical Christians and hardcore (preachy) atheists are flip sides of the exact same, extremely(sorry bad pun) poisonous literal-mindedness.

Um... can I respectfully ask you what exactly your goal was with this comment? Please look at it from my perspective for a moment. I made a comment on a thread about types of obnoxious behavior, and as far as I can tell (please correct me if I'm wrong), my comment was not hateful or proselytizing. Then you respond to me, essentially saying, "Yeah, and people on your side do the same thing!" Why is this your response? What are you hoping to accomplish? I'm genuinely confused, because your phrasing does not seem to indicate that you are attempting to be antagonistic, but that's what the content of your comment achieves.

...uh, no? I was talking about the woman at the train station mentioned in the OP. Where did you get that I was criticizing you, in my comment? Unless you're like the woman mentioned in the OP, and try to convert total strangers.....

No, I'm not. But the woman at the train station mentioned in the OP was not a "hardcore (preachy) atheist," so I don't see how bringing that in was relevant to either my comment or the discussion in general, unless it was meant as a take-that at the "other side" or a defensive "but they do it too!" If that wasn't how it was intended, that's great, but then it seems a complete non-sequitur.

Wow, no, none of that was what I intended, sorry. :-( My point was more agreeing with you AND the atheist anon below (who you also agreed with), that both sides are wrong in their approach/thinking because they think everyone has to think like them. Regardless to what they actually believe.

I'm glad that wasn't what you meant, and I'm sorry if I was overly sensitive to it -- I've just been primed by a LOT of people who fall into the fallacy of thinking that if people on both sides of an issue do a particular wrong thing, then both sides bear equivalent blame regardless of how frequent the behavior is on either side, or other considerations like power and privilege.

I'm actually a little confused; which atheist anon are you referring to? I thought the only other person I'd responded to in this thread was starphotographs. (*goes to Ctrl+F own name*)
