Proselytism
If a question posed to multiple people has only one correct answer, then the question is invalid if it requests an answer in the form of an opinion.
Perhaps you’ve heard to phase “Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.” Unless you are inviting people to attack your personal opinions, leave theirs alone.
Just because something is of popular consensus, does not equate to it also being a fact. If you need a reference, go look up Galileo.
Your freedom of speech does not make me slave to your proselytism.
If you want to talk to a bunch of people who already agree with you, then start a cult and have fun. Don’t ask people for their opinion if you only looking for further validation. If you want validation, state your position and then ask if they agree with you. At least that way they have some warning before you go on a rampage against them.
If you think freedom of religion means freedom from religion, fine, but stop telling me that my cross offends your right to be religion free. If you were actually free from religion, then my cross is meaningless to you and thus can’t offend you.
Some of the greatest acts of destruction have been done by people trying to prove that their opinion is the only correct one. Genocide and wars have occurred in the effort to wipe out the people who held differing views.
If we’re going to learn anything from history, perhaps it is that you can’t forbid an idea. The very act of outlawing any specific idea ensures that it will not pass out of the current population. If ignorance of the law is no excuse, then anyone versed in the law is exposed to the very thing that has been outlawed.
My beliefs, morality, opinions, feelings, thoughts are my own. Yelling just makes me change the channel. You want to influence me to change any of them, try having a civil conversation. I’m willing to listen to reason, just make sure you are willing to listen to my reasons.
By the way, proselytism is the practice of attempting to convert people to another opinion.
