She just made shit up--sentence after sentence. Notice how the kudos came? The atheists here don't police their own when it comes to stupidity. I think its because they no longer recognize it. Talk about abdicating critical thinking!
I gave her kudos because I found the op interesting and thought that it was well formatted and presented in a coherent, concise manner. However, I do not share the opinion of the thread title, as IMO, it inhibits genuine opportunities for mutual learning and dialog between the secular and non-secular camps. With that said, you, along with Neo, Catholic Lady, alpha male, roadrunner, and ignorant, have posted some interesting/well formatted ideas on these boards, which I have found to be neat and kudos as a result. Hence, for me at least, a cool/interesting idea is cool/interesting regardless of whether the person presenting it is secular, non-secular, or whatever.
Yea, it's hard to see how "The converts though do not deserve pity so much as contempt because they have essentially outsourced their morality" generates a real dialog.
Hello, my name is Matilda and even though you are pitiful and/or contemptuous because I have assumed a whole bunch of unflattering things about you and your thinking abilities, I want to have a dialog to better understand you.
