I wouldn't go that far with generalisations. I certainly wouldn't call it "intense". Its just that they are wrong in most cases and nearly all cases where I have seen them used in this forum. Ppl dont fit in those boxes.

OK. So when you say "X pisses me off", you are not expressing a strong feeling. How would you express a strong (intense) feeling for or against a concept?

More wordy crap.

Do you not dislike it when ppl make assumptions about you? Hmmm? Thats what generalisations do. They make assumptions that everyone or all of a particular group are the same.

I dont know @ intense feeling brought on by a concept. It is yet to happen here. It has prolly happened sometime in the past I dunno but I dont remember it. Hasnt happened in this forum.

When are you going to answer my question?

Good point. It annoys me a lot that when I state that I understand the science of global warming, they automatically assume that I'm left wing. Hopefully I've corrected that misconception now.

"Atheists" can get similar assumptions, especially if they're dealing with Americans, who obviously work under a different definition.

More wordy crap.

Reminds me of Kevin Kline's character Rod McCain in "Fierce Creatures".

I might not like it, but I wouldn't say it pisses me off.

Read the OP and my following 2 posts.

Ahh yeah I remember now. You think we have an innate need to worship. Whatever word you use I still dont agree with that concept and you havent provided any alternative words without religious connotations anyway.

If we all have an innate need to worship - what do you worship?

I defined worship as the manifestation of intense desire.

Duh.

And how do we decide?

I believe that my mother must have shown me examples of black, and white.

And i accepted her definition, AS MY OWN [for future reference].

But yes, [throughout life] we experience the world, AND, we make judgements, based upon our experiences.

Don't we ???

Sometimes we all have to do things we dont particularly want to do. In this case I need to know what you mean.

We do in the first instance... Notwithstanding that there are a myriad of probable truths that are counter-intuitive.
