Everyone should be free to conduct themselves the way they please. No one is arguing one tactic over another, nor should they.
I simply don't like coded arguments that are really nothing more than the person making them not wanting to face parts of our ugly world.
The ugly truth is religion teaches humans to die over old books and Sam Harris is right, and so is Ayaan and Bill, far too many well intended liberals on the left use arguments like in this thread to shut down a conversation.
I think my species goes about gaining peace the wrong way. We insist on politeness in every context, far too much, instead of accepting it is more important how we respond to getting offended than it is that we got offended.
No one is saying offend everywhere all the time. I am saying religion does not deserve a pedestal outside of the human right to make the claim.
