sabro said:Sometimes beyond the normal realm of discussion is the agressive person who believes something passionately and wants you to know it, accept it and believe it. It can get pretty ugly. For example, I don't smoke, but I have seen how adamant and vicious ex-smokers can get with smokers... they can get very worked up if you light up near them.
Also certain people with politics can be quite forceful with your time and their opinions. Their rights become important. Thier opinions smarter and more logical and more mature than yours. If you disagree, you are either an idiot or a nazi.
Who do you find most offensive, intrusive or assaultive? Do you have experiences with people trying to force their beliefs on you?

From his statement it is clear that Maciamo:Maciamo said:BBC News : Scientists urge evolution lessons
My views on the subject are unequivocal; I think that anyone (not just school teachers, but also parents or religious workers) who teaches to children things contradicting hard scientific facts about evolution should be considered as a criminal and sent to jail. Teaching such lies is not just irresponsible, it confuses children, hamper them in their intellectual and philosophical development, and amounts to brainwashing and manipulation of mind and feelings. The more children these lies have be taught too and the harsher the sentence should be. I consider it like a form of "intellectual rape" (adults may have their protection against it, but not children or even teenagers).
sabro said:What is this with Athiests believing that people that teach their own children their faith are "brainwashing" them or committing "psychological rape"? Both Maciamo and SVF have expressed this sentiment, which I find disturbing and alarming. Is there a reason why athiests want to dictate how I raise my children?
All parents will influence their kids while they are growing up. No matter how good a parent you are children will grown up will psychological or emotional hang ups they have picked up from parents. There is nothing you can do about it as parents are the primary role models for their children. I have mannerisms that I share with my father and mother, more from my father, but others I have gained as I have gotten older.sabro said:4. If they are hampered emotionally and psychologically, again data should bear this out.
All religions brainwash. Why do you think Muslims strap bombs on themselves? It is usually the extremists that like to brainwash, after all you can't have people question them.CarrionMan said:Or am I?
The 'brainwash' stuff is BS. Only scientologists do that, I think?c
