Quebec will now ban street prayers as the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) “super-minister” of identity, Jean-François Roberge, has just passed his bill to strengthen secularism.
If whatever you believe means you feel you have the right to be unkind to people who believe otherwise, it’s problematic. Even if you want to hold onto a different definition of whatever it is you believe, if you use it as an excuse to be unkind it’s still a problem. It’s not the label that’s the problem, it’s the behavior.
If you end up acting just like them, why should anyone believe you’re any different?
Very “it’s not a warcrime if it’s not wartime” energy.
Though obviously I’d prefer a more civil exchange of ideas I can’t deny the ego boost of seeing someone give up. Once it’s down to name calling, it means you gave up on arguing your point.
When people have the faith in their ideas to agree to disagree, they don’t need to resort to name calling. People feel threatened and lash out. It’s understandable.
It’s not tone, it’s absence of content. Once you need to make it about me, it means you’ve given up on discussing what I said. What’s true is true no matter who says it, even if you were right about everything you said it wouldn’t change a single thing.
Though if you could be polite too that’d be stellar. Manners and consideration are not weakness.
“Religion is cancer” isn’t an invitation for a discussion.
You said some nonsense about atheism being a religion - I’m not discussing that either, because that’s all it is - nonsense.
You stopped discussing things several posts ago, I noticed. I told you that you did so. Why are you repeating to me what I said to you over my last 2 replies as if it’s news?! I’ve been snarkily complaining about it. It’s not news!
Thanks.

Sounds something that a nazi would say.
It’s the same tolerance paradox. I don’t have to be kind if your “beliefs” create suffering.
I’m honored that you conceded the argument, if not gracefully.
Text comprehension isn’t your strongest side, is it? But then again, religion has been suppressing education for centuries, so it makes sense.

Tone policing wen you’re out of arguments, classic. Fuck your religion.
