that respected all different views by policy, not because they are all morally equally, then someone could learn quite a bit

I think it would be, frankly, fascinating to have a set of articles on different religious topics written from different religious points of view.

articles about God or about salvation or the afterlife or whatever from different frameworks.

I think it's important to...

Again, to distinguish between a bias and a framework, I think it's possible for an article to be written about God from a Hindu, in a Hindu framework, for example, that is nevertheless biased.

quite neutral by their lights, if you see what I'm saying.

Whereas if you just read a piece of Hindu propaganda about God, then you would simply be, I mean, you still learn what Hindus think, right?

But the style of writing would be different.

The approach to topics, the setting views in contrast with each other would not be there, etc.

And that's all important if you're actually trying to learn about different points of view.

There's unfortunately a lot of people in the world who are simply so closed minded about

topics that they disagree with, that they just don't want to give any support, to countenance the use of

any public resource to share views that they disagree with.

So yes, the Israeli view about the Gaza genocide, if we wanna call it that, is simply offensive, extremely offensive to Palestinians and a lot of their progressive supporters.

That's okay.

I mean, I'm not saying that they're wrong to be offended, but they are wrong, I think, to not allow the other side to speak, right?

So I actually say neutrality and free speech are very close.

They are mutually supporting.

And a society that has lost neutrality

is in danger of losing free speech as well.
