InformedIgnorance
Do you 'know' or believe?
To be exact your rebuttal was 'to compare it with racism makes every sort of completely crazy problems.' without any sort of explanation, forgive me if I find your argument less than compelling.We talked about this comparison, and you ended up with no real argument there.
Me too; however, I also realise that by calling them myths we generally hold them to be absurd fantasies and would consider someone who holds them as literal truth to be foolish.The word in itself doesnt at all. I love greek myths, I never said so in a pejorative way.
Oh I agree that there are many among them that are indeed like that, I also suggested right from my very first post that the easiest way to deal with this is to ensure that your message is as inoffensive as possible, because those whiners will continue to complain and in doing so make themselves seem unreasonable, undermining their credibility.What is "offensive" to them is that anyone dare say that what they have chosen to believe to be true is not true. So it is not the word itself at fault, but the fact that they want that anyone who doesn´t share their beliefs shut it. That is unacceptable.
On the other hand, by using terms that carry less negative connotations you are more likely to be able to have congenial dialogue with moderates.
Personally I agree that your first amendment gives you such a right; never said it didnt'! ONCE AGAIN, merely explaining why they are complaining.And yes, they have 1000% right to say anything is an absurdity in a billboard.
I am sorry, but they do. If they can´t stand to see it, the more they need to, because it is far more likely that their "faith" is based on denial.
Lol, figured as much - which is why I said that was what I was assuming that you meantU did understand what I said you just said it
B.S. see that, I just insulted your belief that you cannot insult a person's belief.You cannot insult a person´s belief.
Which assumes that it does not exist, theists obviously do not believe that, they believe God DOES exist, it has conscience and has rights.The belief has no conscience nor should have any rights.
I agree that such a message would be more offensive; once again, personally I do not find this message offensive (I AM NOT A THEIST) however the language used carries strong negative connotations about the beliefs, hence people who hold those beliefs may find the message offensive.If the ad said "People who believe in this myths are stupid" then it would be different. That´s not what the ad says though.
