Uh. But your certain type of personality statement is exactly the kind
of comment that KEEPS such arguments running,
"a crusader who won't hush until he makes everyone bow to his creator"
Don't you see a very definite amount of bile in the way you phrased
this? And why it might get on people's back like fingernails on a
chalkboard even if their intention is NOT what you say -- especially
if their intention is not what you say.
I have not followed this conversation. But it has been my experience
that this is NOT usually the case of what happens when religion
"discussions" (and religion is not a topic usually just discussed. It
is shouted at, around, and down)
Usually, rather, it is the case that religion comes up in
conversation, usually in some sort of denigration and/or false manner
and someone speaks up to defend it. Which, because the subject is
religion, if the original comment was not denigrating in the first
place, pretty soon someone will introduce it. And then defenders will
pop up. Bam. You have a flame.
This works with politics as well.
