At What Point Does Activism Become Assholism?

With religious activists, they begin to see themselves as angels; protectors for the faith, suddenly the sects becomes a personal possession, at worse cases some believe they are Gods, an insult to God angers them as it was an insult to them. They see the devil in any theory or discussion represented in their foe.

Other activists fall into the same trap and same mistake; they take the cause too seriously they forget about themselves and about where they are.

Get to know people. Maybe you'll find they think more like you than you thought or that you're okay with what they think because they have a good reason for being that way. People are made up of countless experiences, memories, feelings, etc. It's never as simple as you think

People can lead an organized movement, but nobody as an individual represents the entire label, not even one single atheist. 

But having a reason still does not make it a credible reason, it means those "countless experiences" as Shell B said. And while life is complicated, and yes, while nobody and no one group can force the rest of the planet to follow, our species should not fear questioning or even blasphemy. It should be far more important to our species to be neutral in collecting data in finding facts. The rest are what we either grow up with, and or have opinions about.

We have far too much division in the world based on mostly global greed which hides behind issues of economics/political views and religion. We have only one home, and the more people who understand that the longer our species can extend our finite ride.

We should fear less on who offends us, and fear more those who would seek to divide humanity and invest in war.
