(146,218 posts)And I am with you 100% in calling out bullying, bigotry and intolerance. There is far too much of it and I don't think there is anything similar to what we see in the religion group anywhere else on this site.
Personally, I think people that do this crave attention and the most effective weapon is not giving it to them.
I did not mean to say that you had a problem, only that I have a different POV on analyzing or diagnosing people who are essentially not known to me. We get a narrow view, imo.
I had also never run into the kinds of anti-theists seen here irl. It is really foreign to me and not at all what I would expect from people who otherwise consider themselves to be progressive or liberal.
What they do runs counter to what this site is about. Since a large proportion of voting democrats are religiously affiliated, it makes absolutely no sense to attack them.
Sometimes there is nothing that could possibly be done to make a difference. Those people should be ignored, imo. But some people are worth of challenge and I think can change.
