re: #140 Political Atheist

Hm. Reasonable? Don’t like the title but the body content is what matters-

Good article and I wish more people were thinking along those lines. I think the problem is human nature. People find it empowering to hurt others with different ideas. Advertisers are corporate employers usually avoid controversy because it hurts profits so catering to the loudest, most sensitive or most outraged members of society has become common place. I think it’d be more effective to debate people with different ideas but most people find it more emotionally satisfying to get them fired or chase them out of the public arena.
