Ridiculing is what you do, I'm not ridiculing you, I'm merely pointing out that you interpret your personal experience as being absolute, as opposed to merely being your personal experience, whereas my experience illustrates diversity and the fact that people are different. In other words you see everything in black and white, when it's not necessarily so. If this forum is open minded then you are not. And of course you admit to preaching, which I agree with. You preach the word of atheism, whereas I merely talk about my views, but without wishing you to share them, as I feel no psychological need to be agreed with. My motivation in talking about my views is simplyself expression, which is not the same as preaching, as much as you'd like it to be, and your motivation is to have me agree with you in order for you to feel validated. It's a crutch for you.
