well, there are many forms of free thinking imo.
it's just how people label each other using names like "atheists"
and so on. for instance, i hear classifications like free thinkers,
agnostics, humanists, and apatheists all belonging to the term
atheists.
it still depends on the way people perceive these
name-callings.
for me, it doesn't really matter whether deists, christians,
catholics, buddhists, jews, or hindus etc. who come into this forum
to make sound and reasonable discussions, rather than to close our
doors and be in this world of our own here. however, i'm in no
position to dictate the purpose of this forum, but those were what
i suggest.
yes. atheism has its own line to draw. but i was thinking... won't
it be better if free thinking is encouraged? it doesn't mean that
free thinking will lead to free feeling. i mean, critical thought
is still necessary no matter what.
