Disappointed with the Poison

I’m so disappointed at how ad hominem discussions between theists and atheists often become. Maybe it’s a result of the so-called “New Atheism”, or perhaps it’s due to the sense of theism slipping out of a place of cultural influence, but so many conversations I see and participate in become deluged by thoughtless attacks, dehumanization of the opposition, etc. Theists are just as guilty of this as atheists.

I certainly hope that culture starts turning away from this sort of poisonous discourse; whether atheism or theism is true, we’ll never live to find out if we keep swallowing these bitter pills.
