Oh no, you misunderstand. Let’s take it for granted that I am wrong. I disagree with the consensus of the group, and the group is based on rational (correct) thinking, so it is actually likely that I am wrong.
I was only making the point that not everyone agrees with a purportedly uncontroversial position. Myself and anyone else who holds the view that theism can be rational may ALL be wrong, that is neither here nor there. UNLESS… do you want to say that if we’re wrong, we’re not rational, we’re not members of the group?
This is an important point because we are discussing whether anti-theism is uncontroversial in this group. That is the only reason why I was trying to see if you would qualify my membership in the group. (Of course it was a trap … I wanted to see how and to what extent the group-think is asserted here.)
Your comment about “please can we have less of this stuff about rules and what you’re allowed to say? ” seemed emotional to me, or at least projected inappropriate emotion on myself. The Man Holding Me Down is not part of my world view.
