That's okay...you know what, adults do act like children sometimes and if you think that you should treat them thusly that's aight -with me-. You don't have to backpedal in our conversations, save that for some theist you invariably insult.
Quote: The thought that their religion could be wrong is going to be a scary topic for them when an animal is scared is it not better to make yourself not seem like a threat? If a scared animal sees you as a threat they are either going to run away or attack you. Say for example this animal is a cat, it is a injured, hungry, and scared.-now, not just children, but scared animals......I'm actually starting to like you a whole hell of alot...lol. Please, tell me more about not insulting religious people.
Quote: Like the religious person they will be injured if they faith is unhinged and they will become scared or hateful, but they will also be hungry for an answer. Should you then not offer this cat a bowl of milk? Let it get your scent and then comfort it? To the religious person the bowl of milk would be answers, your scent would be trust, and comforting them would be embracing them. If the cat sees you as a threat however it will scratch/bite you, or try to run away. Seeing as how it is injured though it may not be able to do so, and so you are left with the scratching and the biting.I'm not really certain that treating a human being like a cat is going to be all that fruitful...and to be honest, I don't have much luck with cats to begin with. They either like me or they don;t - and I don;t really care - after all, they're cats. I put the food in the bowl, after that -whether or not they starve is their own damned business. If they scratch me, well....into the blender they go - the other cats are hungry.
Quote:It is most likely not the content of your argument that is in error, but the way you present it.I'm not concerned with my presentation beyond it's contents. That's a matter of opinion, and like assholes, we all have them. Some of us go beyond that of course, into the territory of actually -being one-.
