i only get defensive when people try to tell me what i am doing is wrong. if we're discussing points, that's one thing. if you're telling me how ignorant i am or name-calling, i never do well with that. an adult discussion can take place without making anything personal. i don't agree with anybody atheist or otherwise, who call people stupid for believing or non-believing, when you have no clue how or why the other party feels how they do. maybe it's just a comfort thing to them and helps them to sleep at night. maybe it's the need for community. maybe it's anything. given that, i stray from "factual" conversations, because i'm not a scientist (in the professional form), nor a theist. i happen to not believe there is a god-authority which binds how we act as humans. but i haven't done the research to prove it myself - i've simply read some things that have led me to believe there is no god. and anyone who knows, knows that words are just that. anyone can write them and anyone can spin them. tho i believe the science that i've read, i honestly haven't done the research myself, nor have i even fact checked all of the results. that's why i use logic instead of faith, it just makes more sense to me and i can't understand how it doesn't to everyone else.
fuck, am i still on-topic?
