    You can’t have a rational discussion with a religionist, particularly one of the Christian/Islamic variety. They will appeal to their book of stories and to them, that should be enough for us.

          i have. if we’re talking professionals, i’ve had a harder time finding believing “religionists” (what a stupid word) in the clergy than i have in the congregation.

          Lol, you mean “go outside”? Pretty high bar for some internet denizens.

          I’ve had plenty of conversations with religious folks that didn’t touch upon their holy texts at all. And plenty of conversations with atheists that were interminably about what they thought those texts said.

          Whenever someone generalizes a group so drastically like this, I tend to wonder about how limited their life experiences must be.
