Religion

Saying that religion is dangerous nonsense is not the same as saying that all religious people are bad, stupid, or anything else. TomSlick is quite intelligent enough to know the difference, so he was being dishonest to say what he did. No here has claimed that "Democrats believe that any person of faith is mentally deficient." or anything like it. I've asked him to back up this ridiculous assertion, and he hasn't because he can't.

He also lamented there is no place on DU to have the kind of discussion about religion he seems to want. In fact there are several such groups with the rules he suggested, that were set up specifically to enforce the intolerance of opposing views that he desires. It's possible (but unlikely) that he didn't know of the existence of these groups, but if so he should have asked. I suspect that like Gil, he just opposes the existence of even one group on DU in which criticism of religion is permitted.
