Ok, cool. I think your attitude is all piss and vinegar.
First of all, it’s not “my” article. Now if you’d like to start over, you can extrapolate on why you feel the way you do. Otherwise, don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
I find this problematic.
One of my buddies at work is christian. I respect him on one level, but I have no respect for his superstitious ideology, inherently or in any other way. As much as I’d like the ideology to go away, I’m a little troubled by the phrase “…dealing with the individuals…”
I agree with you on all points.
In the linked article, I don’t find any suggestion that reprehensible ideologies deserve respect. Only references to how individuals are treated.
Are you seeing something different?
So we’re clear, I am not conservative by any means. Reviewing the article for hints, I don’t see anything that I would call “thinly-veiled conservative propaganda” at all. The same words in the same order could be written anyone with any political perspective. Maybe my skeptic muscle isn’t working right now. Please point out what you mean.
That said, the content doesn’t have anything specific to do with atheism or religious bias. Tangentially, the right is fueled in large part by religion, which fuels the hatred being mentioned. I don’t think that’s too much of a stretch.
I posted the link because it’s on a prominent atheist blogroll. I subscribe to many of them and collect the articles here, because Lemmy is a link aggregation website. It’s pretty typical for people in a community of perspectives with one specifically in common to share many (not all) similar values and interest in similar topics, so I thought that a topic of interest for the author in question would be appreciated by enough of our community to be worth sharing.
To be sure, am not rooting around the web looking for articles about natural disasters and puppy mills and topics completely unrelated to philosophical discourse and superstitious belief. My posts will, at least, be humanities focused. Often, I find the propensity for humans to seek out and find - or create - differences to compartmentalize each other into rival groups of particular interest and relevance here.
Hmm?
I would say it’s infuriating, but I think I use that word too much.
Again I find myself agreeing with you 100%, so I’m not really sure what the disconnect is here. Maybe you’re finding something in the subtext of the article that I’m too stupid or ignorant to see. I don’t know the politics of the author - I still don’t - and honestly I found the content pretty innocuous and unrevealing, but if it leads to discourse, that’s the point I guess.
