Quote (stevestory @ Sep. 01 2007,14:00) | I basically never read this thread. I've checked in maybe a dozen times, just to make sure nobody's posting inappropriate things. This recent dustup caught my eye. I have barely even skimmed any of the posts so what I'm about to say should absolutely not be construed as supporting any of the parties in this disagreement, I just have a thought about such disputes in general.
I'm an atheist. If you're itching for a fight, that's some pretty good material. I could drive over to a fundy church right now and we could all be yelling and hollering at each other inside of five minutes. But somehow I never get in those fights. I know that I can choose between different actions which will have different outcomes, and I try to avoid outcomes which are pointlessly negative for me. |
Steve, I don't fully grasp what you are saying here. Could you be more specific?
