You're wrong right off the start. Several of us have taken the same basic position that Diesel takes.
Then you also fall in the same category. Of claiming to know what other people feel, think, do, and believe. And having it pointed out as inaccurate.

Perhaps you could show me a post of your own that has any substance to it which couldn't be described as "an imagined view that is simplistic and superficial and inaccurate". You believe that what you believe is true because you believe it. That's the substance of most of which you've posted in this forum. And that's a position that needs to be countered. You may be right on some of what you believe, but none of what I remember that you have talked about has been realistically substantiated.
those are your words, your opinions, your views.
they belong to you.
i am pointing out the behavior of pasting your views on others and imagining, concocting, inventing that is what they feel, think, do, or believe. It is an invention because it is not accurate.
regarding bold above, thank you for a hearty laugh.
laughter increases a person's life span, so i express gratitude for this morsel.
There have been multiple posters here that have stated their beliefs are strictly faith based and not necessarily what is true.
It's really a fatuous, navel-gazing idea, nothing more than a fig leaf to hide your hostility to religious faith. As if I'm supposed to put my own spiritual life on hold for eighteen years to fulfill your whack notion of parenting right and wrong.
Shucks, while we're at it, let's just examine everything that parents have traditionally taught their children.
Good manners? Why, that's nothing than an artificial, classist construction, a yoke that we put around the necks of our children in order to pull society's plow.
Eat a proper meal? Why, children know better what food is good for them better than the parents.
Go to bed at the appointed hour? Why, that shackles their creativity and sense of autonomy.
Do one's chores and do them well? That is a terrible suggestion, because it could imply that their worth is only as good as the work they do. And besides, shouldn't society just pay us?
Good grades in school? Oh, sure. As if most of this is even remotely germane to what the child will need to know growing up. I mean, who really uses quadratic equations in real life or needs to rattle off the countries of Latin America?
Nope. My kids were hauled to church every Sunday. And were active in church life, attended church camp, and participated in outreach projects. Today? One is pretty devout, one is atheist, and one just hasn't formed an opinion. None of them were worse for the experience however.

1. "Of claiming to know what other people feel, think, do, and believe." You do this often. You're not Buddhist. You clearly know nothing about Buddhism. Yet you've told us it's a god-based religion.
2. "those are your words, your opinions, your views." The same thing is true about your statements about what is reality. You state your opinions as facts.
It's really a fatuous, navel-gazing idea, nothing more than a fig leaf to hide your hostility to religious faith. As if I'm supposed to put my own spiritual life on hold for eighteen years to fulfill your whack notion of parenting right and wrong.
If you claim your religion to be true, then why is it considered hostile to ask for evidence? Must religion never be questioned?

I see nothing but a bunch of strawman arguments here. No where did I mention a person would be a worse off person for growing up in a religious home.
i don't see anyone ---except you [and those who perseverate in the inane repetition of the phrases "faith based" and "faith claims"]--- saying that either.
it is an imagined view that is simplistic and superficial and inaccurate.
my observation is that view, that behavior is demonstrated by those who are more interested having the argument in their head, than actually engaging with actual people who don't fit the crude caricature they can't see beyond.
Your usual ironic, inane and repeated dismissal to avoid actually engaging with actual people with credible arguments.

What is it about your view/posts that causes at least one certain poster to act as though you are leading them by their nose?
The animosity is palpable.
More strawman from you. The thread was opened as a question. Not a statement.
view in post from MiniVan is correct.
the hostility in your posts is apparent.
and transparent.
