It's just how thought works nowadays. The minute you introduce free thought into the mix, their is already a bias of language at play.

You are right. It's like with journalism: even though the journalist can never reach a purely objective view of things it doesn't mean he shouldn't still strive for it. The less subjective factors, the better.

This thread has gotten really stupid. You guys are overanalyzing a simple term that was used out of convenience, not to make a point of some kind.

People don't apply labels without thinking first for this sort of thing. If someone does then that's their own goddamn fault and any and all criticism should be directed at them.

Aw come on! Some of us are having fun here!

It's either this or speculate about what kind of fart was used to make the snare in Palace Posy.

I think the latter is more interesting.

Come on rodheh, some discussion, especially discussions about belief, can turn into this. I think this thread remained quite adult to be honest.
