    So why are you demonising the creationist worldview?

    "the creationist view believes 'goodness' is from God & 'evil' is from the Devil "

    Another strawman argument. Lets face it we can't know the exact details of who believes what exactly unless they tells us or demonstrate it through their actions. I would generalise and say that those who believe in creation rather than naturalism would also believe that God exists and that therefore good and evil are objective moral realities.

    "being so, when disagreements occur, due to different opinions about what is 'good' & 'evil', this results in each side viewing each other as Godly (good) & the other side as Satanic (evil)"

    Oh I hardly think that's the case most of the time. I think that most of the time people on BOTH sides of the argument simply see the other as being wrong. No need to invoke Beelzebub at all. :)


    "this non-objective demonization we can see on Hot Copper, in all of the political threads, where Islam, for example, is demonised and the demonisers deny &/or are blind to the faults of their own culture "

    Maybe because they're using "Islam" to define the common denominator for a bunch of behaviours and attitudes that they see as wrong, kinda like you are using the word 'creationist'. The faults of our own culture are usually of topic and if they concern you you are free to start your own thread about them. Just because our culture has faults, that doesn't negate the problems we can see with other cultures. But being blind to our faults and aware of everyone else's is a basic characteristic of being human isn't it? Nobody has an accurate view of their own issues.

    "where as the enlightened atheist scientific view examines causes & effects. by understanding causes & effects, one sees how each side has contributed to the disagreement. "

    Unless the atheist is one of the parties involved of course, then we're back to square one.

    Here's the FACTS about atheists. :)
