feotakahariYou might think it’s contradictory that I say mean things about religion on the Internet while also wanting a truce with religion, but I think saying mean things is part of the truce. An ideal world doesn’t necessarily mean we like each other, or even particularly respect each other. An ideal world just means we don’t try to kill each other, and if your religion isn’t killing people, we can grudgingly accept each other’s continued existence.
Note that “the Internet” here refers to neutral ground. I don’t really mind if someone replies to my blog posts and calls me an idiot, but there are people who think of their blog as their personal space where they can say things without getting yelled at, so I try to remember not to get in their space. After all, I wouldn’t want to deal with the Westboro Baptist Church picketing at a private funeral.
