Quote:I think the average believer and non-believer should ignore these types. Forcing "this only god" or "this no-god-only" on others is lame.I disagree. Ignoring them means that their positions are not taken into consideration in debates & discussions; people who can impact real-world events can be marginalised consequently having a greater negative impact than if they're accepted into social processes.
Yes, of course not all. I thought we were talking about the obsessed ones.
yes, fundamental atheist is a subset of atheism. I totally agree. I thought that was a given.
yes, to your last part too. The last time I said ignore them, it won't matter, the flower child took over and screwed us all.
I get over zealous sometimes. You are correct.
