Agressive?

[Aegrus]

It's not that materialism can explain everything, it's that dualism can't explain anything.

Can't explain anything... scientifically. Please, let's not be ridiculous: a justification can be made for anything with anything REGARDLESS of how 'correct' or self-defeatingly hypocritical it might be.

Stop being ridiculous, nobody cares that you can't elucidate your point when you make it

Or rather... nobody should care Bunch of whiners we've got here.

Even if materialism explained everything (which it presently does not, though it may eventually explain everything, IMO) spirituality could actually be beneficial. I don't have a source for this, but the more spiritual people I know are in general more pleasant to be around than either atheists or Catholics/Muslims.

Excepting myself, of course. I'm a beacon of logical and tolerant rational discourse.

I've always thought it funny when someone accuses an atheist of being "too aggressive". Generally, an atheist being 'too aggressive' is us calling someone out on their BS and possibly using profanities.

A theist being "too aggressive" however is blowing up a building or killing innocent people in a bazaar.

I actually got called "too aggressive" on my facebook feed the other day for calling out a nurse (A fucking nurse) who was quoting a piece of shit article that said evolution was false and that faith is all that one needs to heal people.

...a fucking nurse.

I agree with this; in many cases, hatred and profanity are justified. (Such as in the nurse example.) However, I do think that many atheists need to choose their battles more carefully. I've seen many threads writing off entire populations of religious people as X, Y, or Z. Obviously, anything which declares an absolute is incorrect. (Ignore the contradiction in my last sentence, it was a necessary evil.)

The "Creepy Mormons" thread on this forum is so far a perfect example.
