I think, unfortunately, that human beings tend to, in general, be afraid of alternate viewpoints. I think anywhere you get this many people in one place, such as here at PC, then you have a pretty good cross section of the population as a whole. And there are many, many people afraid of what they do not know or do not understand. Which seems very sad to me. I certainly don't think your ideas are dangerous. You are never hurtful, never preach hate. I think only thoughts that are hurtful and hateful are dangerous. And yet, I would still fight for anyone's right to say what they please. Ideas cannot hurt people, only actions or lack of action. I know I, for one, would certainly miss your input and viewpoints. Whether I agree or not, I am always intrigued.
