Do you think it can be a bit off-put that, as a more-or-less homogeneous irreligious group, we tend to be in an echo chamber?
I think it can be put that way... poorly.
You could very well think otherwise if you were not particularly observant of nuance; subtle differences.

Only when I'm away, and the Devil's Advocate TrollS go too far and get themselves banned.
Quote:I was inspired by an old post on here, that in a Christian forum people tended to be very agreeable with what other Christians posted and overall very strict on being cordial and what words were used, to the point of overreaching above and beyond to merely filtering out swear words. Fuck that.
I just hope I don't have a blind spot, and that I'm not in a sorts of echo chamber when it comes to discussing theists, is all.
Atheists, after all, only agree on a single sentiment - the rest is up for grabs.
What do you think? Am I just talking out my ass or is there something to it?
Atheists don't necessarily exactly agree upon any particular sentiment or sentiments. I think that there's a nuance between similar positions, and a subtlety in how people can speak of one position (hitting upon different points, whether knowingly or not).[/quote]
An 'echo chamber' applies to us only so much as the ocean's waves crashing upon the sand.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
