The Internet is teaming with dishonest people hiding behind the guise of anonymity ... posting behind usernames accompanied by avatars and preaching our own special brand of religion.
It is the religion of hubris.
As a religious person who considers myself a Christian (even though my wife would argue that claim at times) I am at least honest enough to accept the need for anonymity in today's world, in some cases ... while often times wishing those who violate the rules of basic human decency be exposed for who, and what, they are.
Yet somehow free speech has been convoluted into being confused with the right to say and do anything while hiding behind the anonymity of the Internet ... even encouraged.
Anyone on the Internet taking a holier than thou position on honesty ... my bet is that they are usually the biggest liars IRL. Oh, and I've been witnessing the devolution of the Internet and its users since the old usenet days ... we've yet to bottom out.
You come on with the hierarchy of animals and when called on it because might in that world rules, but might does not make right, you resort to claiming that any that disagree are "progressive liberals"?
Honesty requires not religion, nor vice versa. Might no more makes right now than it did under the Pharaohs or Caesar. That's not progressivism; it's truth. That you can't figure it out, says much.
Carry on, though.
