Cutting the head off Medusa

[Brian37]

Saying you don't need to hold a label does not make me a a bigot. So run away rather than AT A MINIMUM consider that you do not need the social club you like.

What makes you think people need to adopt your way of thinking? It's rather arrogant to say that at minimum they should consider throwing away their belief.

I am damned glad Galileo didn't think like you otherwise he'd coddle the insecurities of the church and we'd still be living believing that the sun rotated around the earth.

If learning only depended on staying inside one's comfort zone we'd all be right and every claim by proxy of the ability to utter it would make everything true.

I shit fart and pee and will die like everyone else so get of your false accusation that I am "arrogant" for saying that people should not fear self introspection about even their own deeply held beliefs.

If we never questioned social norms our species never would have left the caves. Not liking my delivery is your baggage, not mine.

Again what is more important, protection one's own ego, or examining something to insure you are not making a mistake? If you are not willing to look at yourself and at the same time willing to question others while setting up a taboo yourself, there is a word for that, hypocrisy.

You are on a board that questions religion and religious claims, why should ANY claim be given a pass if you are willing to question one claim, then you should be willing to question all claims and willing to be self introspective about even your own. Anything less is personal bias and does nothing but protect one's own ego.

You have not seen me here, not in any post ever demand you don't question me. You have not seen me say "you hate me" because of how you respond to me. So do yourself and me a favor, either jump in the ring and fight me back, or stay out. But do not expect me to conform to you. I am not a clone of you.
