For the record, I was only responding to someone who twice told me to fuck myself because I offered criticism of his condescending tribalism in the form of a rhetorical question. So, it's not exactly as if there's a plurality of people in this thread who need to get their shit together. There's only the guy who yesterday proclaimed:
Quote:To us, it is a compliment  to point out an error in thinking, or a mistake of fact, to a fellow atheist.

It's a little shocking to us, then, when we do the same as we do for one another to a fundamentalist who comes here, and they react to our information with hostility or silence, pretending we did not demonstrate what we did.

It's the source of the term "intellectual honesty", being willing to recognize when our intellects can fool us, and make the necessary corrections. We are just as capable of those errors as anyone; the difference is in how we prefer to apply the recognition of such errors in revision of our beliefs the moment it becomes clear that we have swallowed something based upon fallacious reasoning or bias.

Dogma is the precise opposite of that.

If ever there was an appropriate time for one to eat their own words, this must surely be it.
