Online atheism and "freethought" really doesn't leave one feeling optimistic about what a future without religion will look like...

@PhilosophyExp@sjzara Religious or not, humans are tribal, not rational. Recent events show this clearly. I share your pessimism, Jeremy.
@PaulaSKirby The tribal thing - in-groups/out-groups - is key. Difficult coz how does one object to tribal behavior without becoming tribal?

@PhilosophyExp Indeed. Better to try to write a novel instead ;) -
@PaulaSKirby Exactly. I was just thinking, "Fuck it, I have to run a marathon on Sunday with an injury, online atheism not my problem." :) -
@PhilosophyExp I have lost all interest in atheism. Still atheist. But atheist tribalism & irrationality no better than the religious kind. -
@PaulaSKirby Perhaps we should issue a joint statement to that effect... ;) -
@PhilosophyExp Something tells me we just have! -
@PhilosophyExp Damn. And there was me thinking Twitter was private ;)

@PhilosophyExp@paulaskirby - how do you treat a human who sees you as an infidel? -
@timothygmd@paulaskirby Come on, you don't expect an answer to that question on twitter, do you!? :) -
@PhilosophyExp@paulaskirby - fair, and situations vary. A common problem, perhaps insoluble. -
@timothygmd Yes, ultimately it's why I think inter-faith stuff is going to fail. There are (sometimes) baseline incommensurable beliefs.
