Yes but you get a spectrum of reasonableness and silliness in any group.
Even Dems and Republicans have their extremes. And yes different people
have different opinions on what is extreme or silly. I don't think we'll
solve this one in our lifetimes.
However, *political* sillyness is open to debate. *Religious* sillyness
demands that it not be open to debate.
If religious groups were the only groups with extremists that might be
true.
No, religious groups are the only ones with extremists who demand
special dispensation to be extremists.
Yes I agree power can be tempting and corrupting. This is true for
everyone. Are you saying non-religious people are somehow immune to this
corruption?
"They do it too" is not a defense; that fact that you use that as an
argument disappoints me. This is especially disappointing when we are
talking about religions which purport to be moral authorities and
proselytize others.
OK good I'm glad you said that. So Christians aren't really that
different from non-Christians as far as this goes. It is not a question
of one side being tolerant/flexible/open while the other side is not.
The difference is that my rules also benefit you. Your religious rules
often are negative to me.
