Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Can you believe this? Even if you have certain beliefs, is David Attenborough really deserving of hate mail . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) Isn't everyone entitled to their own opinion? Edited to point out I meant isn't David Attenborough was entitled to his opinion? I do not agree with sending hate mail - sorry if I didn't make it clear Edited January 27, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mostin Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I can't believe he gets letters like that . I think anybody can believe whatever they like but you should never force your beliefs on to anybody else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlo Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 How very dare they?! I am firmly of the state of mind that says, "I may not agree with your opinion, but I will defend your right to have your views." In this case, I actually agree with what DA is saying. People who send hate mail are worthy only of contempt! (Which is my opinion - obviously!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seagazer Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 And they would have the cheek to call themselves Christians..... Whatever happened to live and let live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutrix Farmers Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hmmmm...not a very christian thing sending hate mail Tessa my first thought too please be assured that proper Christians don't behave like this, we respect the right of everyone to believe what they want to. Anyway it would be hypocritcal of Mr Attenborough to talk about creationism and God if he doesn't believe in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madchickenlady Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Anyone calling themselves a Christian yet sending hate mail is sadly misguided, and completely missing the point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Anyone calling themselves a Christian yet sending hate mail is sadly misguided, and completely missing the point They seem to forget that it's god who has the right to judge, according to their Bible. Anyway, in my book, David Attenborough IS god. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 It's a shame that some people have such little conviction in their beliefs that they can't stand up and put forward an intelligent case to the person they dislike. People who send these sort of things are usually cowardly creatures, who think that vile bully techniques will wear down a person into submission.

The trouble is that the creationists do have conviction in their beliefs. Unbelievable as it might seem to those of us who live in the real world. Can't see what these people hope to achieve tbh.

Phoebe Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I agree that sending hate mail is horribly intolerant and (seems to me) unchristian, and I'm impressed that DA responds, and with a rational argument as to why he does not believe. The senders don't really deserve his measured response, but good on yer David ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I know what you mean Egluntine - my family are mostly Italian Roman Catholics, and therefore creationists, despite some of them being highly qualified medics and scientists - I've never understood that myself.

Unbelievable as it might seem to those of us who live in the real world. Can't see what these people hope to achieve tbh. But sadly, not enough conviction to stand up and be seen - instead they hide behind faceless words - the cowards way out. What do they hope to achieve? People use hate mail to intimidate, to try and silence people, to try and chase them away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have picked the wrong one with DA then.Did they really think that a man if his calibre would bend to their way of thinking just because of a few wacky letters and threats.
