> [@Jackmannii](#): > > No, beliefs without evidentiary foundation need not be respected. This of course does not mean that it is necessary to pop into theological discussions to declare that religion is bunk. Civility, and all that. Completely agreed. I wanted to point out that it is not CC’s opinion. It is either a fact that there is no afterlife, or it is fact that there is an afterlife. If CC says there isn’t one, and he is incorrect, then he is just incorrect on the facts. Doesn’t change it into an opinion. It would be an opinion if he said believing in an afterlife is dumb. Right? That’s how I remember learning it in grade school. But I went to public school. So a cup of salt with that. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cc-this-isnt-really-a-pitting-but-since-its-personal/562768)._
