Quote: I discussed it with my dad and he reckons that me explaining the "cold truth" is better than me not wanting to engage in conversation because I'm afraid of hurting them. But I'm wondering if it's at all ethical to take away someone's happiness and replace it with the "cold truth". Who am I to decide for them what they deserve? It's 100% true that ignorance is bliss in my opinion,
If their egos are fragile enough to be shocked by the truth, they definitely need to grow a spine. Ignorance is not bliss, it's a drug.

Or maybe do a lot of good. You don't have to assume that all people are fragile porcelain dolls. As long as you're nor forcing anyone to do anything and you don't insult anyone personally, any bad feeling that they experience is only due to their immaturity.
I have plenty of theist friends who enjoy a healthy debate and are not afraid of my opinions. I'm sure that most of friends are mature enough to do the same.
