Are DU theists guilty of intolerance?

Last edited Thu Dec 28, 2017, 11:07 PM - Edit history (5)

I read a response in this group to a post. A response that read,

Edited to include part of the original post:


It seems that our theistic friends here don’t wish to have the claims they make here discussed and examined. Instead they like to waltz in to pronounce “atheists badz” and then make some poorly thought out pontification, and when that is questioned act astounded that on a discussion board the statements one makes might be discussed.

Now I have been reading things i this group for over 2 years, and I have never read anything remotely like the characterization "atheists badz". Other than in this particular response.

So in the interest of furthering my understanding, I would ask any poster here who can come up with recent examples of such theistic intolerance by theist posters at DU.

I have a laundry list of intolerance from DUmp monkeys.

I found this offered by one of the primitives:

"Disagreeing is not bigotry. Criticism is not intolerance."

Chances are we'll need to remind them that they have stated the above to be their standard. Somehow, in their world, they'll somehow tell us that the above doesn't apply to issues that are in opposition to liberalism.

(Edit: Posts #15 & #28 is where I got the quoted material)

It is pretty much every single post since its inception.

Absolutely! Anytime someone says something is true they've been intolerant toward things different from that something. That includes my previous sentence.

The problem with them is the "my way or the highway" attitude and the refusal to listen to any other opinion.
