>I'm not like all of THOSE atheists, who feel the need to shit on other people's beliefs.This attitude disgusts me, it's like they think they are morally superior for tolerating people's beliefs in fairytales. By my morality they are morally inferior since they allow for irrationality to persist unchallenged. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men [and women] to do nothing.
You don't even have to bring up the fact that atheists are bashed by the other side.
>>5158Just a few details, OP could be a religious person in disguise but so could you and from you perspective so could I.
Anyway, you can still be offended by irrational criticism, like when religious people criticize atheism they aren't criticizing it through logic and that can be off putting. So actually in all cases where religious people criticize atheism they can be bashing. However unless an atheist is Hitchslapping or going off the deep end the argument is based only logic, no intent to offended and not illogical (there are illogical atheists), and if the religious idiot get offended over that, that's because they're devote and don't want to hear the lack of evidence they have for their beliefs.
Also OP never said he feels all criticism of religion is bashing, just that both sides "shit on" each other. I would say bashing is specific kind of criticism where you just attack something to dismantle it, the level of emotional response or logic doesn't matter. So there is logical bashing like Hitchslaps and irrational bashing like what religious idiots say about atheism.
