Imagine my horror when the first person on the forum to suggest imprisoning someone based upon their thoughts wasn't some religious zealot, but a 'free-thinking' atheist.
Maybe rather than prison, we can provide an opportunity to stifle these peoples freedom and teach them our correct way of thinking in new comfortable surroundings. We should call them reeducation camps.
It is threads like this that prevent the true goals of encouraging people to think critically and seek evidence prior to action, and ensure that atheists continue to be marginalized by the general public.
