I'd also like to see the actual damning posts-- which are often mentioned, but I have yet to actually see them quoted. It may be that Tazzycorn's and others' interpretations OF what you guys have said have led them to essentially call you witches.
There's certainly an overlap in this thread, in the Charlottesville thread, and so on. It seems clear that at least in these forums, there's some parallel between religious affiliations, political affiliation, and stances on race issues. However, it seems to me very likely that you and Wooters are probably more moderate than your friends, your political peers and so on, and that this is a big part of the reason that you frequent these atheist forums despite being theists (or at least deists?)
Tazzycorn's post, Tizheruk's before, and a few others, while they point out some trends in your positions which I think are probably real enough, also REVEAL a trend, the one I was talking about earlier: the tendency to demonize people who, while they don't exactly say anything deeply offensive, seem to be on the wrong side of the dogma. "Nazi" is pretty obviously code for "someone who doesn't fully endorse all the positions which we think everyone must take." In other words, there are some positions which are not intellectual ones, but are flags for membership or refusal of membership in that group of people whose opinions are worthy of consideration. That's dogma, and you are therefore a heretic by that standard.
Honestly I usually agree with most people here regarding the actual race issue at hand. I think the confederate flag is offenssive, i can understand why people want southern statues down, and I dislike white supremacists just as much as the next person.
But I condemn the general quickness people have at calling others racist, and I defend Chad when others say he's a racist and a nazi. Apparently that's all enough for me to earn the title myself lol.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
