In reply to the discussion: The most wonderful video from Cable News about the folly of religion [View all]No Vested Interest
(5,167 posts)15. Actually, it is mostly an echo chamber
Each day when I click on the Religion(Group) I sort of laugh to myself that the majority of postings on the "Religion" group are in fact "anti-religion".
The same posters day after day, and really, what do they have to gain from it? The names become well-known for their stance against religion, and, therefore, their statements become predictable - i.e., uninteresting. Are they trying to make converts to their cause?
The attitude here - picking a fight when others are just going going about their daily business- makes one want to move quickly on.
I don't enjoy being in the company of unpleasant people, and don't come to DU for that purpose.
