  • Let’s go a step further and analyze exactly what this graph is saying:

    There’s only about a 20% distribution difference in the “never” sections between Christians and atheists. So on average, 4/5 atheists would answer the exact same as Christians. All this graph says is that Christians are barely more tolerant than people who identify as atheist. Barely is the key word. If anything, this graph proves that tolerance levels don’t fluctuate that much for the individual between differing religions.

    But Bible thumpers need any win they can get, so they don’t read the data for what it is, they just see one bar longer than the other and declare victory.



  • Uh huh. I’m sure that the problem ruining sites like this is people pointing out when someone else is being rude.

    Anyway, a second “no u” is certainly not a surprise. Lashing out over some simple advice, name calling instead of making a point, presuming I just don’t understand you and acting like your opinion is any better by virtue of it being yours. All of these things reek of terminally online culture.

    No, I get what you’re trying to say. I understand that you also have an opinion on what makes sites like this bad. I’m also just saying you’re wrong. Call me whatever you like, the fact is that people don’t respect an asshole. You can try to be less of one, or you can just continue shouting into the void.

    Either way, later tater.




  • I’m not sure if you’re talking about the left on a world wide scale, but in America I really don’t think it’s fair to say that the left is the side limiting free speech. Sure, they may paint the use of certain words as distasteful, but that’s basically the extent. Leftists don’t even tend to get the law involved outside of defining what may or may not be hate speech.

    On the other side of the aisle, the right wing party is promoting book bans and firing teachers they disagree with. Several states have a version of the “don’t say gay” bill that literally prohibits teachers from explaining why one student has two dads, and a similar bill that prohibits institutions from simply acknowledging a kid’s preferred name. Texas and Florida are defunding colleges with curriculums they as a party don’t like. Louisiana (along with a few other states) passed a bill requiring you to prove who you are with state ID before you can view something they deem inappropriate.

    All of those things are actual examples of infringing the concept of free speech. Does the left do anything remotely like those things?
