And some are even consistent about this & refrain from criticising all ideologies but more are not. There are only some they want left alone
-
-
Probably because they see that it has an effect on their life. They can't ignore it. And they feel more independent from religion.
-
Yes, probably. This is a reasonable reason to give. 'Because criticising sets of ideas is bad' is not.
-
When they say it, it must be implicitly scoped to such sets of ideas that they find not worth criticizing.
-
Yes. That is what I am pointing out. You are saying this but you actually mean these are sets of ideas you don't think worth criticising.
-
Then we can discuss why and I might well agree with you.
-
Sounds like you want them to adopt your meta-ideology so that they see an inconsistency they didn't see before.
-
I want them to see that they have a problem with the ideas I am criticising, not with the action of criticising ideas.
-
There is no inconsistency if they say why it's ok to criticise politics but not religion, for example. Only if they say 'Don't criticise.'
