While he did not mention me by name, it was quite plainly stated in that post that he believed that being religious made you a better person than someone who wasn’t religious. I made it pretty clear that that is what I took offense at. I used us as examples to add a more human element to his statements. You’re clarifying his statement in a way that he may not actually believe while both straw-manning and choosing red herrings from mine. If his “generalization based on experience” is that religious people are better than nonreligious people, then I take issue with it, but wouldn’t censor his opinion. I’m not doing so. If you want to take a side, then feel free.
