It’s easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine the end of capitalism.
That’s not an opinion it’s facts.

Maybe if more good people like yourself spoke out against the hateful ones Christianity would attract more people.
I’m sure they exist, My point was they aren’t the majority. I’ve met plenty of nice people and nice Christians, My experience with Christians as a majority is they aren’t open or accepting,
Strange we rarely hear from the vast majority or least the vast majority doesn’t speak out to condemn their hateful brothers and sister, in fact I’ve yet to meet one of these open and accepting Christians in my 44 years on this earth and I live in a heavily populated christian city.
Every accusation is a confession. Also it’s funny to think everyone is a latent homosexual all they need is to come in contact with another homosexual to activate their homosexuality.
I get that but, he was saying I said something when in fact I had not, he was either making assumptions or purposely misrepresenting what I was saying.
I haven’t said or claimed to hate anyone. As for leaving people alone, I enjoy talking to people and learning about their beliefs, street epistemology isn’t debating, it’s a tool for having conversations where both people get to explore their reasons for holding a belief, you only focus on the reasons why and not the actual belief itself, the goal isn’t to necessarily change someones mind but for them to consider why they believe something, the talks should always be civil and friendly. There are lots of good examples on YouTube of street epistemology, people typically enjoy the conversations and some will come back after they have had time to reflect to continue the conversation.
I haven’t said anything here about being atheist or morality. Street epistemology focuses on the reasons and or decisions that may have led someone to a belief not the actual belief itself. When we try to explain why we really believe something lots of times people come to realize they may not have a good reason to hold a belief. This goal isn’t to change someones.mind on the spot, rather to get someone thinking and to reflect on why they believe something.
We make decisions based on our beliefs, ranging from who we vote for to flying airplanes into buildings. Having a method that can let us examine our reasons for holding a belief is worth exploring. Street epistemology is a method of asking someone to explain their reasoning for believing something and letting them come to their own conclusion, so I’m not sure that would be considered proselytizing.
That’s a big part of it, but instead of attacking someones beliefs which usually triggers the backfire effect and puts someone in defense mode, instead you question someones reasons behind their belief and ask questions that make them explain why they believe and could someone use that same reasoning to come to a completely different belief. I highly recommend checking out street epistemology on YouTube.
Can’t we make crime illegal already?

Years ago a co-worker/friend thought it funny to make a thin metal outline of a gun and place this metal in a book of another co-worker headed to the airport, friends like this who needs enemies?
