Sometimes people recognize it, and sometimes they don't.
But bringing its presence to people's attention is simply
helping people by telling the truth.
We have enough liars on the forum, that the truth tellers should be appreciated,
whatever truths they are telling. |

Of course, I'm not trying to convince him that you replied to him, obviously, nobody would see that. But I think it does have some irony.

The "each and every" rhetoric was what I was referring to as delusional. Ragtime is right that our belief systems are found in everything we say and do. It is sad that some belief systems are restricted to few places or disallowed, whilst the diametric is allowed to be flaunted anywhere.

I actually think religion owes a lot to its detractors, particularly its most virulent and vociferous ones, because it attracts attention. When I see/hear/read it I unconsciously think, what is it causing all this fuss? Why are people getting so angry?
I am, like many people, ( which is why the "News" on TV etc is full of stories of danger, death, and destruction), almost never attracted to discussions full of peace and love. The almost constant slanging matches going on on PPR over the winter got me interested in religion again.
Be thankful for the attention "misotheists" pay to religious beliefs; it is very good publicity.
It is, as I said on another thread already, like seeing birds wheeling over a spot in the desert; it is intriguing.
