While he was intending to insult others though, that's not how I'm seeing my deity comparison. I don't insult people over their religious beliefs and I don't see mocking the belief itself as an insult directed at the believer. If I wanted to insult them, I'd call them names as a result of their beliefs. So far I haven't done that, and yet they are sticking those words in my mouth anyway. You and the theists are welcome to view this as insulting all day long, but I don't see it. Again, not sorry.I actually have zero interest in converting, or deconverting people. I spend almost no time on this forums debating theists, and even less IRL, lol. I have no idea why I phrased it that way.
I think one difference between you and I, Aroura, is that you seem to care about changing their beliefs (as I understood from your previous post at least). I don't care about converting anyone. I do care about informing others about what I do or do not believe, though. I'm going to keep doing that.
Let me rephrase to, if you want someone to listen to your ideas and try and understand your point of view (which seems to be what you want), instead of CHANGE to their point of view. Same thing, same point about how to address them. This applies completely to the OP calling people douchbags or whatever, as well, and is not directed at any single member in this thread,more of a general observation on my part. If he wants us to listen and not just get offended and riles up, then don't call your audience douchebags.
But whatever, I can see you aren't interested in what I was saying anyway, and that's fine too.
I'm interested in what you're saying. I am just also interested in the truth, so I speak with complete honesty on discussion forums. I'm not interested in insulting them. If people want to be offended by that anyway, then that's their problem. I've said this about ten times, though, so I guess we're just going around in circles at this point. You do you and I'll do me.
