@Aliveshock I’m sure you have seen such posts. Religious people think x, y, z, are like this and that. Etc.

Atheists go through similar judgemental thinking.

@Aliveshock Actually that's who I'm primarily talking about, right? Who would be going around caricaturing people of faith?

@CopperCicada
i have seen a lot of atheists pretending to be knowledgeable.
Are you claiming Faith in God?

@Aliveshock 🤦‍♂️

@CopperCicada
not much of an answer bud.

@Aliveshock My OP is about there being a huge diversity of religious experiences, and that there is nothing gained by caricaturing people in broad strokes. Quite the contrary.

i think you have a very narrow scope on how to view religion. somewhat like someone on the outside looking in and giving your perspective of what you see.
i wish you a lot of luck with that method.

you attempt to define religion and it misses the mark.
