(49,533 posts)They describe what you are doing perfectly.
Using the term "choir" implies that the individuals responding to you aren't acting on their own accord. You are implying they are led by someone like a conductor. As such, you hope to imply their opinions aren't real and therefore can be disregarded because they are mindless repeaters. You're dehumanizing them.
Same thing with your "11th commandment" insanity - you used to fling that around whenever someone expressed a negative opinion about religion. Your reasoning was that those individuals are just mindlessly criticizing religion without any good reason, only following the edict of your fictional commandment. (Which was always perplexing anyway, because why would any non-believer be obsessed with following a "commandment"? Your analogy there was just wrong from the get-go.) But again, you're dehumanizing them by reducing their opinion to a reflex. No actual thought went into it, just following orders.
"Decider" is good example of the demonize part. You shove that one at people to made it seem like they're being unreasonable authoritarians, stomping over all other viewpoints.
I suspect you never will, because I and others have asked you to many times, but how about you try engaging in actual discussion with us fellow human beings instead of using these dismissive and insulting words?
Or perhaps you're just religiously convinced that you're doing the Christian thing by attacking and insulting. Whatever.
As I've said repeatedly, in my opinion, you're doing a GREAT job showing how your religion is useless when it comes to making someone a better or more moral person. You keep on being you.
