" as most are non believers by carelessness rather than conviction." Pete, I respectfully disagree. Most non believers are not careless but have arrived to the conclusion of non belief by many years of careful consideration.

Grishka, I take exception to your value judgement, "The point is, you do not appear like a cool guy who encounters ill-advised persons. Neither do Musket and Stringsinger."

A cool guy in my estimation can be one who refuses to take a position on anything and hides behind a self-righteous pseudo-objectivity creating "Ill-advised" persons.


Steve's anger might stem from a certain smugness that is evinced by those who are so assured of their position philosophically or intellectually.

In my own defense, I maintain the right to explore what others are saying to be true and be open to change if appropriate scientific evidence is presented. I don't consider religious people to be "ill-advised persons" but those who have been subjected to doctrinal beliefs without questioning them. As I have stated before, these people can be entirely rational and non delusional in other areas of their lives.

Grishka, a haughty attitude condemning an aggressive attitude is in itself a form of
aggressive expression.
