That’s a little to belittling, imo. I want to enable other people to explore different possibilities, but I don’t want to put them down for their beliefs.

Even if someone’s beliefs are harmful, confrontation and belittlement will just make them double down, methinks.

In an ideal world where people kept their beliefs to themselves, yeah that would be great. When it comes to religion in the US, I'm out of patience with these assholes. Their god isn't anymore real than the Flying Spaghetti Monster, their book isn't any less silly than all the others, and I'm tired of having to put up with their horseshit and suffer their hypocrisies in my legal system, all in the name not stepping on anybody's toes. Fuck their toes. I'm buying steel toed boots and I'm getting to stomping.
