what being apart from the law means.

[Esquilax]

The whole point of a forum is to share your opinions and find out what other people think. You write that as if nobody loudly advertises their beliefs, particularly yourself. I read people's posts and form my opinions about their beliefs based on what they write. And here you are, getting all upset because I identify many atheists as advocates of philosophical nihilism, either outright or implicitly. Me thinks the atheist doth protest too much.

Yes, we do share our opinions. Crucially, "share" is not the same thing as "decide for one another." We'll let you know what we believe if you ask, you don't need to mine it out from our words, and we also wouldn't need to lie about what we believe either. It's what we believe, after all, what would be the point of hiding that?

Of course, if you're really advocating a by fiat labeling of what anyone believes by anyone else, then that's fine, so long as you realize that turnabout is fair play. If you can just declare for me what I believe, then we can do it right back. I don't mind turning off my self censorship to do that, if you're really willing to go down that path.
