| Quote (skeptic @ Nov. 30 2007,02:36) | Ian, while I'm not going to debate Falwell with you, it's clear from your comments that you feel strongly about him, someone that I'm fairly certain you never knew personally. To extend that to the hypothetical fundie that you don't know, I'd bet if you ever talked to them about their beliefs you'd feel the same way about them. In short, I'm saying that I don't believe you. The level of acceptance you hope to convey with your words is completely contradicted by the hostility contained by them.

By your logic we can't attack Hitler, or Stalin, or Mao because we never knew them personally.
Absolutely ANYONE who espouses killing others (or even demonising them) deserves no respect. If they are just REALLY crazy on Jesus, (as an uncle of mine is, although he's no sciece denier) then I would be apathetic toward them.
In a similar way to how you don't believe I would be apathetic towards those who don#t share my beliefs, I am completely unconvinced a sane reasonable human being could have found anything that repulsive man did as anything other than objectional. I didn't cheer when he died, but boy was I glad to see him go.He was a dangerous raving bigot, much like Nick griffin of the BNP is in Britain. I don't think he's massively religious, and his views on god don't fuel HIS vile tirades against anyone who he doesn't like, but that doesn't stop me wishing ill on that foul scumbag every time he comes up in the news, does this mean I want all anti immigration people to fall foul of life? No,because they aren't all like him, but I certainly disagree with them, and I CERTAINLY will weep no tears for Nick and his disgusting ilk (all those racists and bigots who pollute the world, of all religions, creeds and colours).
Does that make me a bad person? Up to you I guess.

You NEVER seem to address the fact that the grand majority of people supporting Darwinism in these on line forums and blogs are atheists. That doesn't seem to bother you guys in the least. - FtK
