Okay, I'm hoping I'm going to get well thought out, complete answers here:
Why all the anger and hostility in this space? I understand that most people here have their beliefs one way or the other, but why do so many post post purposefully inflammatory questions and answers? What is it about religion and spirituality that gets the religious so defensive and the secular so vicious? I've seen some level-headed answerers here, but the majority seem to be downright mean.
Please, don't spout Bible verses at me or talk to me about Darwin. I'm not stupid, I understand where everyone's coming from, I just don't get why discussions here have to be so hostile. A while back, someone threatened to kill a guy (a post I reported to Yahoo Answers). This person may have been joking, but that's clearly not appropriate.
SO: What do you feel makes religion and spirituality so contentious, and why the hostility and ignorance towards any culture but your own (this includes everyone, even atheists!)?
