Re: Is Neo-Atheism The Way to Go? [Poll]
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I agree with Bill Haywood on pretty much every point he has made so far. Many of you are acting like hardcore theists were well-educated and rational adults when their beliefs were formed. In fact, many theists were born into their religion or converted after major life trauma. It is often an integral part of how they understand and parse the world. I don't know the best way to handle these people or engage in debate with them, but I'm am fairly sure it is not ridicule and disdain. All that does is make the debate more contentious and forces people to dig their heels in. Should we challenge their arguments? Most certainly. Should we mock them? No. How does that solve anything? [/ QUOTE ] Really? Well thats basically our entire approach to stop smoking, and it seems to be doing ok. I mean, sure, maybe 5% is based on education and providing alternatives but most of it is just based on shame and ridicule and pariahism. [/ QUOTE ] I agree.... its just that no one ever killed someone for ridiculing his smoking habit.
