So, if we assume that Christians are correct and want to worship in the way they see fit, there is not a problem with stopping that as long as it is done with compassion and respect?


That's not what I said at all.

Then you need to read our exchange...or if you don't mind, explain in more depth.

As I understood it, you said false ideas are dangerous. Well, I agree, but you should entertain that the Christians ideas just might not be false, and therefore should not be eliminated by the freedom from religion people. I understood you to say it is okay to keep them suppressed as long as it is done with compassion.

Now, if what you meant was that Christians should have compassion for those that disagree with them, then I can agree with you. just as the freedom from religion people should have compassion for those who do not believe as they do. You have a group of people in Wisconsin wanting to dictate how people act in another state. That does not sound like understanding or compassion since the people being affected by Auburn's practices are not the ones complaining.

What if I said the same thing about Muslim or Satanist ideas?

No. We were talking about in the absence of religion. If after everyone has stopped making decisions based on religion, we were only left with compassion, respect, empathy, etc., we'd be in a better place.

It very well could be true, but based on how many gods humanity have worshipped in our past, and even present, the likelihood that the Christian god is the one true god is fairly small.
