How come atheists get all the smack about being cruel and judgmental but when we play along we get smack too?
I normally discourage either side being cruel and judgmental, but frankly, I'm sick of the hypocrisy.
PS I love sugar smacks!
cry me a river,
build a bridge...
and then get over it....
WE ARE HEATHENS!
I hope no catholics partake!
Example:
Theist: I think God is real.
Atheist: I lack belief in gods.
Bad Examples:
Theist: You are going to hell for not believing in my god, etc.
Atheist: You are an imbecile for believing in that specific god, etc.
I think the key to a good debate is to keep things impersonal. I've had shortcomings in this area as well - most of us have said things we regret on an anonymous forum. But having an opinion means you judge by definition - choose the best answer from other possibilities. It's the cruelty that we should avoid.
I can tell you that there are times when I make sure to point out to other Christians that they're words/behaviors are highly contradictory to the teachings of the Bible and they are not being good representatives of Christ.
I don't recall making it a habit to point this out to non-believers though.
I think anyone, regardless of belief system, can be judgmental and crass from time to time. Those who do it often and with obvious intention, well, that just proves there is a lack of maturity.
Peace.
