Has General Discussion Been Hostile to Religious Believers recently?

251. You need an option that says:

It's been hostile, but believers deserve it because they are inferior. That about sums it up. From what I can tell, the main point seems to be for people to thump their chests about how superior they are to other DUers and the rest of the world. Guess what? They aren't, not even close. Evidently progressivism has become redefined as looking down on the everyone who isn't Western, bourgeois economically and culturally, and living in a nation that makes constant war on the inferior peoples of the world. But since they are superstitious barbarians, they deserve it. And they wonder why the world hates Americans. When this is how we act, what's to like?

But.. .but...but...we don't support the wars. We are liberals. People here expect others to distinguish the nuances of our culture where they make not even a minimal effort to do the same to those they look down on. I find the attitudes entirely imperialistic, which is of course what they are. They are the kind of views that are only possible on the part of people who live in a self-satisfied empire that prospers from the exploitation and war it wages around the world. Congratulations on y'alls superiority. It's been made possible through tremendous bloodshed and plunder. Americans deserve as much respect as we show the rest of the world.
