Based on your rationality comment at least. Why can't people have opinions without infringing on the opinions of others. If you don't believe in God, then you don't believe in God. Simple as that. Don't go around telling others who do believe that they are any less rational or whatever just because of their beliefs. This is the kind of stuff that sparks flames IMO. I can at least respect those who don't believe and have friends with opinions on both sides. We can have good debates without telling each other we are any less of a person just because we have those beliefs. |
If someone is wrong, it is justifiable to tell them that they are wrong. If it was my opinion that an umbrella would allow me to float safely from a tall skyscraper to the ground, then by all means tell me that I am wrong. I haven't actually thought anything that stupid, but I am grateful when people point out that I am wrong about many things in life.
Why would this not apply to someone's opinions on God, sea monsters, fairies, and other such 'supernatural' ideas?
