In reply to the discussion: The deluded argument. [View all]TM99
(8,352 posts)I have said it several times before that anti-theists, in order to maintain their rage at the unfinished trauma experienced at the hands of authoritarian religious families and communities, have to be as literalistic and as fundamentalistic as those they are opposing. They have wood to burn so to speak.
I think it is impossible to combat these arguments with these particular individuals. They will say they are being logical and rational, and it is bullshit. They are being emotional.
Call them out for sure. Unfortunately that rarely works. They know they are being insulting and simply don't care. I had to put many of these worst offenders on Ignore.
Given my work, yes, I find it extremely offensive to both religious believers as well as those suffering from any type or form of mental illness.
