Quote:Sometimes, we consider the opinions of others ill-informed or irrational when in fact there simply isn't enough time in the world for them to covey the subtlety or ultimate foundations of their opinions. Just because you do not know or refuse to accept how they arrived at their belief does not make them or their opinions stupid.
no stupid was the wrong word, but my point is i dont think its arrogant to say that some opinions and beliefs should be regarded as unacceptable, no matter how many people have these beliefs.
And i dont think dawkins or many other famous atheists are arrogant.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
