Religion

(135,425 posts)topic, and an atheist will come along with a great big handful of shit and fling it with great force. This is the place where those kinds of discussions happen. They never end well. The atheists "view" is always that the religious people are wankers and assholes for believing what they believe. There is frequently a lot of "blaming" on the religious because some wingnuts like to put religion in government, and stuff of that nature. That's always the "atheist view." They won't be moved. That's fine, but they won't be convinced to shove off and leave the discussion be, either...they've just got to "participate" by letting those religious know how wrong they are.
I simply think that if you ever want to see a Jew talking to a Muslim, or a Christian talking to a Wiccan, it's not gonna happen here without the thread being disrupted with tremendous purpose and glee. If not sooner, then later. There needs to be a safe-haven group, like the atheists already have, if you want to see that come about.
Either that, or take it to DU mail. In all the years I've observed this group, it's always been like this.
