Nice spin doctor. That's not what he said at all.
If you are curious, you can ask him.

I read Richard Dawkins' book, The God Delusion, and he made a pretty good point in that, in a debate, religion takes on this quality that it must be talked about with utmost respect, and people should walk on eggshells as to not offend people of that religion. And I honestly believe that's bullshit. People are going to get offended, they need to get used to it, and refusing to talk to someone that is "offending" them is a sad cop-out.
EDIT: Btw, well-played, Notherly.
Thanks Sarcasm ... ?
I'm pleased, a fellow reader of TGD.
It's quite true, it's a one way condescending attitude. That's faith.
Faith is inherently, condescending. The act or thinking that one is superior to another.
Take a fanatic for example - "You are not my inferior, you are just where I was. I was confused, and then I found god."
... con-de-scen-ding. People without a faith are the only ones who can say "I could be wrong."
There isn't any option around it, and if there were, one would be accepting that there is a chance their religion is wrong, and that goes against faith. Catch 22.
Religion kills critical thinking.
I'm expecting an angry response, but I can tell you 2 things.
1. "Steam Room! Arguments may become quite heated in here.. So if you are easily offended!, Don't Enter

2. I'm prepared to prove you wrong.
I apologize for for being experimental. rolleyes:
