I think we need to distinguish between laws that are immoral, like prohibition, and laws that are moral, like those framing the contracts of labor and taxation. I responded in more depth elsewhere and will spare the details. cn

I dont like straight racists, but I catch myself stereotyping. I really dont care though its the content of their character like king said.

Does anybody else feel slightly bad for debunking somebody's beliefs?
Is it really for their own good? I know in some cases, debunking somebody's beliefs will actually help the person. But what about the people that stay "sane" (even if it's a false sane) by hanging oout with their church group and praying? Why debunk their beliefs?
I would say that it's beneficial for them since they now know they have the power to overcome problems on their own. But at the same time, most religious people would just be shot down and become hateful without realizing their "inner power".

Let me decide what is for my own good thank you. I like 64 oz drinks, smoke, cuss and mind my own business.
All I ask you to do is mind your own!

Calm yourself lokie. I'm asking since I don't really think that debunking most people's beliefs are for their own good. I mean in some cases it's helpful to debunk their beliefs. Like if a person hates others for having a different religion or if they are seriously scared of the afterlife. It's comforting knowing that this is your life and you're in control of it.
But then there's people like you that find comfort in their beliefs and ways without harming others. So why would somebody try to debunk your beliefs?
Just thinking dude. Don't mean to be a dick or anything.

But then again religion interferes with the advancements of science. Like stem cell research. Maybe if there were less religious people, religion would have less power and we would be able to continue our discoveries. In that case, debunking others beliefs is justified.
But like you said lokie, "all I ask of you to do is mind your own". You're one of the people that doesn't require your beliefs debunked since you wouldn't interfere with new discoveries. Right?

I do my best not to. I cannot be at ease with myself if I were to assume that "my beliefs are better than yours". There is a strong human instinct to believe just that, but the adult duty of reason requires that I dismiss that instinct as spurious. So ... no.
Now if someone pushes [his] belief in my face, I feel empowered to offer the counterexample of mine ... fully circumscribed of course as my belief. But since I have a distaste for preaching or evangelism of any religious or apparently counterreligious doctrine/ideology, I prefer peace. cn
