Are you attacking religion or fighting for something? (believe, choices, atheist)

[Jumbo10]

It seems like some on here feel under attack.

Are you attacking religion as a whole, like you want it to go away completely and it doesn't bring value to anyone's life?

Or are you attacking intolerance, and realize religion can add value to someone's life?

Or are you fighting for something (like climate change) and trying not to attack?

I'm not sure I understand your question(s).

This is poorly written. Your first sentence references atheists under attack, but the rest of your post is about atheists doing the attacking.

Additionally, the list of choices is eclectic, no apparent pattern or sense.

I suggest you drop back ten yards and punt while you figure out what it is you want to know.

I think by "here," he meant the R&S section of CD in general.

In answer to his question, (although not an atheist) I attack fundamentalism in particular, not religion in general.

Similarly, there are aspects of religion that I am willing to "attack", although I think a better phrase would be "highly critical of". But I won't attack believers in God as being "stupid" and things like that.

I'm of that same mindset although I do go after misrepresentation of science, atheism, civil or human rights and bad logic, or maybe that is all fundamentalism.

People are going to feel under attack every time their views get questioned and they can't dispose of those questions.

From our side, I think it being understood that a social change is the end -view, not just arguing the better case.

However one wants to word that situation, that's how I see it.

Yikes, sorry if it was too confusing. I wasn't look to win a Nobel prize for the question

One thing for sure is that people on both sides are quite angry.

Thanks for the response. I always appreciate and often learn something from your perspective.

I don't understand what you are asking.

I'm not attacking religion.
I'm not attacking intolerance.
I don't know what climate change has to do with being an atheist. Can't theists be concerned about climate change?

I'm just here to understand how people tick and to answer the odd question here and there. I also have the opportunity at times to educate people about it means to be an atheist (most people have very skewed ideas about what it is).
