I appreciate you at least starting to use that noodle of yours, since you’re obviously so much more intelligent than the ignorant morons who profess a belief in the divine.Unwarranted assumption is unwarranted. I have never said or even fucking alluded to any of that so you are once again pulling things from ass.
You’ve clearly assumed it, but whatever, I’m too busy to find examples right now, so let’s just assume you really are giving religious people, myself included, fair consideration as intelligent human beings.
However, are you obstinately devoted to your view?
Nope. Like everything my view is subject to change. In this case it is very very unlikely that someone could convince me that a book the calls for the death of everyone who is not a straight believer of Yahweh, demeans women, is a perversion of reality as Science has so clearly pointed out etc. is anything worth while in this day and age.
I am not referring to your ignorant generalizations of the Bible, I am referring to the fact that you literally said, “I hate Christianity.”
Are you intolerant of religion (and by extension, its adherents)?
This is the part where I say I hate Religion and not it’s people due to the fact I have had a multitude of friends and former girlfriends who are religious and my family members who I love dearly are nearly all religious. And then you’ll pull out that “so you hate sin and not the sinner” and to that weak argument I have only this to say.
“Its” should have no apostrophe here.
I don’t have time for a youtube video. I will simply say that if it was racist of me to say I hate black culture, it is equally hateful of you to hate religion. That was why I used my dramatic example. I have little time to post here, so I wanted to get some attention and draw the parallel that if you hate the chosen culture of a people, you in many ways are hating on the people themselves. Sorry youtube video, and sorry Lord Haseo.
That’s like me saying that someone who hates GoT must hate all of it’s fans by proxy which is shows you have the inability to accept other people’s opinions regarding what you’re fond of. Something like that is akin to a mindset of a child which is rather sad because there’s a good chance you are far older than I am.
Boy, you sure know a lot about me for having interacted with me so little and really not understanding my posting history. Nice assumptions.
Furthermore, that baffling argument is not even comparable to something like murder, rape or thievery which are truly detestable acts and simply being religious is not even close.
Not even sure why you bring this up, honestly. I am calling your hatred of Christianity bigotry. Why did you even say this?
Are you expressing prejudice based on your perspective and a limited sample?
If I hadn’t of said that there were good things about the Bible and just fixated on the negative then yes. But on the other hand I have also said those things can be found in other mediums.
I’m naturally an English perfectionist, but I’m trying not to even come off snarky. I had to delete some corrections here. My apologies.
But here I want to reassure you that I didn’t call you a bigot for hating the Bible. I am calling you a bigot for literally stating, “I hate Christianity.”
Are you singling out a particular group?
A book is a group. Since when?
Christians are a group (which happen to fall under that umbrella of Christianity, which you hate).
Have you expressed hatred towards that group?

The answer to each question is yes. And then you have the audacity to say that the definition doesn’t support my accusations.
Most humorously, however, is your insistence on my sensitivity. While at times I’ve become quite upset on these very boards for what some have written, I have not even had my pulse quicken. I may have been harsh in my wording, but such was not out of anger. I actually can see decent conversations with an atheist like Jeebus. I have enjoyed many conversations with CP3S in the past, a very adamant atheist. But you literally offer nothing useful in your debates thus far. And you literally, in very definition, are a bigot. I’m sorry, but this you have demonstrated quite vividly, and your sensitivity to my use of the term only further highlights the reality of that bigotry in your heart.
Sensitive ass lol
Citation please? Just because I call it like I see it doesn’t mean I’m being overly sensitive. I have far harder discussions in real life with atheists. Why would I be too sensitive to handle featherweight arguments on an Internet board with people I will never meet in real life?
That said, it would be a lie to say I never get upset on these boards about this topic. In the past I have. But here I truly have not. In the past, I partly attribute it to my over-involvement with the site. But as my life has steered me so much away from here, I find myself caring less and less about others’ opinions here.
EDIT:
True that. I would prefer intolerance over violence any day.
Yes, you’ve well established your preference for intolerance many times.

I guess Star Wars isn’t the only subject that reverts the minds of seemingly mature people into that of entitled, sensitive, pompous and irrational children.
No, I think any firmly held belief can do that. Including atheism.
See: Lord Haseo 😉
