diegocaleiro didn’t just say they were just irrational:
(1) Stupid (2) Religious (3) Non-rationalists (4) Absolutely clueless about reality (5) Pushy about inserting their ideas/ideals/weltenshaaung/motifs into you?
I strongly suspect that this isn’t a case of “My family members don’t believe as I do, therefore fuck those guys.” but rather “These family members know that I am nonreligious and aggressively proselytize because of it.” This probably isn’t even about rationality or LessWrong, rather atheism.
Note also that it is diegocaleiro who initiated the conversation, and note the level of enthusiasm about the idea received from other posters (Only ChristianKI and Benito’s responses seem wholly in favor, Villiam_Bur and drethelin’s responses are against, shminux and Ben_LandauTaylor’s responses are neutral).
“These family members know that I am nonreligious and aggressively proselytize because of it.”
Outside view: These family members know that [diegocaleiro joined a group with weird non-mainstream religious beliefs] and [are trying to deconvert him].
