Not the first time I've heard that. I think it comes from my speaking style. I don't like to hem and haw, just slap my opinion out bluntly, and let someone shoot at it. It's more efficient, but some people think that I'm condescending or arrogant.apeman wrote:I send off one angry post and things really got turned up. GCF, I was too harsh, but my goodness would you benefit from a dose of humility.
To better answer GCF's charges many pages ago, DCF was useful to me because I got to see the internal thoughts of folks who believed very different things than I did -- how could folks who are smarter/better read believe in things I thought are obviously wrong????? Eventually, a well-adjusted human will gain humility and scale back their certainties as they try to purge harmful strict ideology from their system (when I first came here I was rather extreme libertarian for exampe).
My formal education is all in group think settings where everything thinks the exact same things. Now growth gonna happen there.
Re: the very unimpressive "The Day of the Dove," Dan seems incapable of offering any interesting insight anymore.
Anyway, couple good posts re: my post-atheism comment. Maybe should be a thread. And no, I don't believe there is a magical man in the sky who cares specifically about my well-being.
I'm perfectly willing to be wrong, I just can't admit it here, with people like Clubby hunting down every post I make, to talk shit and ad hominem everything I say.
This place has definitely adjusted my viewpoint on a few topics, and I'm better for it. I get 90% of my news from the threads here.
What 'charges'?? I just made a funny about you no longer being an atheist, thanks to the MHF...To better answer GCF's charges many pages ago
