After my talk last week I heard that one of the attendees
would like to hear some ways to talk about atheism without causing offense. If
they bring up their views some of people around them would take offense as if
he was attacking his interlocutor’s views. And he is looking for ways around
this problem that aren't fighting with people, staying silent, or disowning
loved ones.
I myself have never really had this problem. Because I have
no firsthand experience with this kind of problem I would love to hear some
stories about the kinds of conversations that are difficult for people. Tell me
what kinds of arguments you get into, or what subjects get you into the most
trouble. Or anything you think is relevant, I just need more to go on to work
on this problem.
This kind of work, where I would construct arraignments of
ideas for others to use, is one of the best things I can offer in this context.
But on this front I don't have enough personal experience to do so. So help me
out and tell me a story.
