Reply #42: "It's all mocking, name-calling, attacking." [View All]

You just described GD and GD: P! :P

"you change the very nature of the world that the person lives in"

Changing the very nature of the world one lives in is not an inherently good or bad situation.

Two atheists can live in two very different worlds.

For example: Atheist A lives in a terrifying world full of evil Islamic terrorists lurking and plotting everywhere. Preemptive wars are our best chance for survival.

Atheist B lives in a world where most people are peace loving and terrorism is only preformed by an extreme, marginalized minority. Investigations, bridge building, and humanitarian aid are our best chance for survival.

These two atheists have the same opinion regarding the supernatural, but still live in very different worlds.

"If I am posting on a political board that is open to all opinions, I generally will not mock, say, right wing beliefs."

Conservatives and liberals unintentionally mock each other often.

For example: We are mocking conservatives when we say trickle down economics is silly and does not work. Compare this to: Prayers for President Obama's safety are silly and do not work.

"Global warming is a myth" versus "Islam is a myth."

"Rush Limbaugh lies to his audience." versus "The Holy Bible is based on lies."

Simple declarations of atheism are taken as attacks by many people. God is imaginary. Heaven and Hell are hoaxes. The Holy Bible is illogical. Prayers can not heal diseases.

Just as liberalism is offensive to some people, atheism is offensive to some people.
