I knew it, and I stopped calling him it. Not that he notices when people actually do respect his wishes, even the people who are the most otherwise hostile towards him (people such as myself)...
... but I do think my hostility is justified. That's the point. I'm not hostile to just any theist. There's a reason I don't talk to CL like I do to Neo. Because she's not an abject judgmental asshole full of almost nothing but smarmy obfuscation, implicitly confessed confirmation bias and prejudice towards atheists.
Even if justified is it required? Is it best for you? Is it what you’d have everyone do in your place?
I'm not sure. But I think many people share my conception of him and I tend to just say stuff I think is true. For me it's not about ulterior motives, pragmatism or saying what's required it's just about being authentic and accurate for its own sake.
As for the last question... is it what I'd have everyone do in my place? Seems like a non-sequitur if you ask me as morally I'm very anti-Kantian and that question springs from a Kantian principle.
