Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

Follow-up from yesterday’s “When you get prayed for” OP…

Fellow blogger, Ellabulldog, is making the claim that pantheism is atheism.

  • Do you agree?
  • Who/What entity is the ultimate authority on those definitions: Webster, community (the existing folkways and mores), your/the church, fellow pantheists/atheists, the Pope or other religion figureheads, the self, other?
  • In truth (whatever that is), are these two categories of “religion” (i.e., “theisms”) merely ECCs (meaning essentially contested concepts, in the eye-of-the-beholder)?
  • How do you define these two (disparate?) philosophies?  Go into as much detail as you can.
