Anyone else feel bad after criticizing religion or conservatives? I think I am just feeling empathetic towards religious people and conservatives. Sometimes people just don’t know any better, or they have too much to unlearn to reconcile their differences with other people. I genuinely want to understand someone else’s perspective, but I don’t think anyone else has the right to impinge on someone else’s rights, especially not based on their cultures world origin mythology. It can be very frustrating. Sorry for unloading, been reading too much news and pol 😭 Pic unrelated

    its perfectly fine to criticize religion and anyone’s views. it’s not fine if you criticize the person that holds those views.

      Unless they’ve been proven to be arguing in bad faith or dishonestly. Then it’s fair game to criticize them.

      I don’t think I’ve criticized anyone personally, and I am sorry if anyone feels that I have

        a lot of times people who have their views criticized are offended personally, but its not your fault if they dont understand that.
