Atheists and agnostics have meaning of life, it's just not in the God's purpose drawer.Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00762964244520399960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4446682073857250843.post-8750090099939668522011-08-09T16:06:43.580-05:002011-08-09T16:06:43.580-05:00I understand where she's coming from, and I th...I understand where she's coming from, and I think, face to face, I could communicate better. But I feel hampered by the medium - I can't stop her when she starts getting things wrong, so she keeps asking for answers to the wrong conclusions she's reached, and can't backtrack to the point where we'd start disagreeing.Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00762964244520399960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4446682073857250843.post-32618731384603622142011-08-09T16:04:08.696-05:002011-08-09T16:04:08.696-05:00Red Cardigan seems to feel everyone should think l...Red Cardigan seems to feel everyone should think like her. I don't understand such an inability to accept diversity, unless it's rooted in some kind of insecurity. Maybe she's not as sure of her beliefs about the meaning of life as she professes to be?Paul Sunstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02462598852553696040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4446682073857250843.post-58081297986656272122011-08-09T03:13:43.019-05:002011-08-09T03:13:43.019-05:00The attitude that atheists are atheists because of...The attitude that atheists are atheists because of their worldview / philosophy and their morals come from an external source really bugged me. Especially the apparent inability to understand the concept of evolutionary benefit of altruism and good behaviour.<br /><br />I will likely keep an eye on her blog and comment occasionally. I think keeping informed of contrasting opinions is healthy, even if they are wrong.

She's obviously very smart, and I appreciated her willingness to stop and converse, but she seems to have trouble with the idea that different people might just see things <i>differently.</i>Michael Mockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233321050691782148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4446682073857250843.post-15538466712892063322011-08-08T14:46:49.106-05:002011-08-08T14:46:49.106-05:00I read there this morning and I came to a conclusi...I read there this morning and I came to a conclusion...I won't be reading there again.

It wasn't a very important comment, just a bit of snark, but I'll try it again when I get home - I'm wondering if our network is blocking the capcha.)Michael Mockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233321050691782148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4446682073857250843.post-53958737337739939652011-08-08T12:41:10.544-05:002011-08-08T12:41:10.544-05:00I followed the link over to her blog.

As if because you have a belief that "A" you would/should have worldview "B". That's just not how it works.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17313118060838041133noreply@blogger.com
