I don't want to "beat down and silence the opposition". I want to converse and have mature discussions, arguments and debates with theists so we can understand each other better. I will do my best to explain my view and if that deconverts them, that deconverts them. I basically explain why I don't believe what they believe. And it mostly involves asking, why do they believe what they believe. Because I don't believe any of it because I think its nonsensical. I think there is no evidence or good reason to believe in such things. Indeed I cannot disprove what there is no evidence of or reason to believe in, in the first place. But I don't need to. For exactly that reason: There is no evidence of or reason to believe in the supernatural in the first place. In my view at least. So if they can give me any reasons I'm fine to give my opinion. And don't expect me to think its evidence. Because I have never heard one good argument for God's existence yet. The best one is the fine tuned constants of the universe probably. But even thats pathetic because God himself would have to be more fine tuned than the constants themselves. He'd have to be an amazing mathematician.
To put it simply: I am basically on Sam Harris' side in the sense that I am also agree that a good strategy and view to take is "conversational intolerance".
