[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Telling someone that they're stupid for believing in God or that they're going to hell for not believing in God is not appropriate respectful communication.

Does that make sense?

***

No it does not make sense PP.  You don't get to dictate what other people think.   If an atheist thinks someone who believes in God is stupid for having that belief, the atheist is perfectly entitled to hold that opinion.   If a religious person thinks someone will go to hell if they don't believe in God, then that's what they believe.

PP you're entitled to believe whatever you want and you're entitled to express it.  What is it though with posters who insist on telling other people what opinions they aren't allowed to have?[/quote]

So pp I know this isn't quite DIRECTLY relevent here but I do think the idea is pertinent.

You are absolutely entitled to believe what you believe and to speak it out loud. I am not required to think you're intelligent, that your opinions are valid, that you are worth engaging at all actually. I believe the majority of posters here, both theist and atheist agree that you seem irrational angry and mean. Not all opinions are created equal unfortunately. Everyone can have one for sure, but people who don't put effort into having well formed opinions will never be as respected as those that do.

This is the last time I'm going to respond to you I think because arguing with you really serves no purpose. You will somehow interpret this as my saying you can't have an opinion without considering mine, which is ludicrous and not something I ever said. That's one thing that isn't up for debate! My knowledge of my own intentions! [/quote]
