Quote: Do you find yourself blanket/generalizing all "theists" in the same vein? All who believe a God exists is silly, moronic? Or do you take each theist is their own person and assess your thoughts towards them on how they respond/treat you? Maybe it's a mix?A mix. There are things all theists must share in belief or it wouldn't be appropriate to count them as part of the same group. Then, on top of that, each local flavor of theistic belief has all of it's own unique idiocies.
Quote:I only ask because I see a lot of ad hominem attacks in responses when responding to theists on here. Personally, I don't care if someone calls me silly, moronic, etc. I'm geniunely curious if that's how you view all theists in general, if so why?It's only an ad hom if people say that because you're stupid, you're wrong. If you notice alot of people calling you stupid, that's not an ad hom, just an additional observation.
