Like I said, if you want to believe in whatever it is that you believe then that's a-ok. I've got nothing against people holding beliefs.
It's when people start touting their beliefs as truth and, moreover, start using an imagined divine authority as a reason for the behaviors (eg "I am honored to be a messenger of the almighty!") that I take a stand, because beliefs like that tend to be dangerous to everyone who doesn't espouse them. They also tend to try and impose on the (non)beliefs of others, especially the young, the poor, and the gullible.
So no, sorry, I won't be ignoring your posts, but outright lambasting them and objecting to them every step of The way.
OK, I hear ya. I understand you don't believe as I do. I am just sharing with you what I believe.
Ok.
You seem like an ok guy, but you need to realise that you're not simply sharing your beliefs with us. You're actively asking us to consider and ultimately agree with them, and none of us are going to do that unless there's something more than 'I believe' behind it.
