I'm conducting research on why atheists are so hated by the American populace and I'd like to hear why you think they are viewed so negatively. I understand that many of you don't have any hard feelings against atheists, so please don't feel the need to defend yourself, I mean no offense to anyone.
So why do you think atheists are the most hated and least trusted minority in America?
Do you mind if I copy your post into my "Atheism" thread? It perfectly summarizes my main point I wanted to get across.Going back to the question of whether the AA article was criticism or bigotry, I stumbled across this last night: Constructive Criticism, TVTropes."Okay, I've read your script, and I have a few things to say about it. It needs work, but you've got something going here. I wasn't impressed by the car chases, but those aren't my thing. But I do know that cheesy one-liners aren't really done anymore, unless you're spoofing those kinds of movies, and this isn't a parody. I did like the romance scenes. You should probably expand that relationship. These kind of movies don't do relationships well, and this would help your movie stand out."The above two paragraphs aren't quotes. They're to illustrate the difference between Trolling and Constructive Criticism (hopefully, you know which is which). While trolls want to put people down, constructive criticism is meant to help an artist improve his/her work. It's rarely shown in fiction, but it's important to it, since it's meant to help people improve their writing.
"Okay, I've read your script, and it's retarded. You should just use it for toilet paper. Nobody likes car chases anymore, and your crappy jokes make Arnold look like Shakespeare. You thought that **** was funny? Oh, the love scenes were good. I always knew you were gay."
I've always believe extremes and absolutes are far from the path (small 'p') of life.
Who hasnt had fundamental christianity shoved down their throat
Being overtly moderate is an extreme too though
