Should the religious learn to accept blasphemy?

[Mariana]

105. If theists want to have a different kind of conversation

than the ones that go on here, they have ample opportunity to do so. There are multiple groups on DU that have been set up as safe spaces, in which things like criticism, disagreement, awkward questions and so on concerning religion and religious beliefs are strictly prohibited. They tend to be pretty quiet. The Interfaith Group, in particular, is a desolate wasteland. It seems the theists really aren't interested in having the kind of discussion they often claim to want to have.

Isn't it interesting that Gil chooses not to participate in those groups? Sure, Interfaith is dead now, but I'm sure he and his horde of silent groupies could get something going there, if that's really what they wanted to do. But no, he prefers to spend his time here, complaining all the while about how awful it is.
