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.Which is what you should have been assuming this whole time. Funny thing is you’re the only one who seems to notice this intolerance you’re speaking of.
No, I’m not, but I’m also hitting home a point. Do I really care if you’re a bigot? No, not really. You just are. That doesn’t even make you a terrible person. We’re all bigoted in some ways. But you have no shame in your bigotry because you feel you are justified. That’s how many people felt about their anti-homosexuality bigotry until recently. It was just acceptable. Some bigotry is more socially acceptable than others in certain circles, and that of religions, particularly Christianity, is very acceptable among atheists and agnostics these days.
I am not referring to your ignorant generalizations of the Bible, I am referring to the fact that you literally said, “I hate Christianity.”
There are no generalizations. There is good stuff and there is bad stuff. For me the bad outweighs the good because there are other works in which I can learn the same lessons that The Bible teaches. Also “I hate Christianity” =/= “I hate Christians” but then again you already know that.
But remember how I deliberately made a point that hating black culture is racist? If saying, “I hate black culture” = “I’m a bigot against blacks,” then “I hate Christianity” = “I’m a bigot against Christians,” even if it doesn’t mean “I hate Christians.”
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.
It’s just someone saying “bullshit” but I’m glad I didn’t waste the time to find an informative video…not that it would have helped any.
Then I’m glad I didn’t waste my time watching it.
Also that’s a very poor example you’re using as the line between saying “I hate Black Culture” vs saying “I hate Black people” is very minuscule while hating Religion and being okay with Religious people are completely separate.
Please enlighten me how it’s different. It affects your judgment of me. It affects your judgment of many religious folks. You may be “okay” with them, but you perceive them as unscientific, bigoted, and promoters of hate. Such is not always the case. You allow your judgment to be tainted by your hatred.
Boy, you sure know a lot about me for having interacted with me so little and really not understanding my posting history. Nice assumptions.
You have been more or less the same thing but okay buddy.
I’ve just quoted what you said and made points about it. I didn’t extrapolate any further than that.
Not even sure why you bring this up, honestly. I am calling your hatred of Christianity bigotry. Why did you even say this?
“Hate the sin, love the sinner”
That’s why I brought it up
Which has been called here justification for bigotry.
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.”
Christians are a group (which happen to fall under that umbrella of Christianity, which you hate).
You know what the funny thing about this is? This all started because I said I hate the Bible. I didn’t say that I hated Christianity or even Religion in general. Just some food for thought. Furthermore I believe the only person to outright say “I hate Christianity” was Darth Lucas and he clarified that he meant that he hated the Bible and not those who read it. So basically you’re bitching about absolutely nothing.

There’s actually a study that shows that Atheists tend to know more about what’s in Religious texts (primarily the Bible) than actual believers. As someone who used to be a “militant Atheist” a few years back I learned many things about the Bible to fuel my hatred of it and to know what I was talking about when I debated people.
Bravo. I’m not one of those. But that is interesting that you used to be a “militant Atheist.” Very revealing.
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?
Pick any of the posts you’ve made accusing people of being bigots because they don’t like your religion. Also you bring up a good question but I have no idea why you’re crying so much to people you will never interact with face to face.
Am I crying? I thought I was trying to have a (half–mine of course) intelligent discussion with you. And you continue to use much stronger language, indicating a much stronger emotional response and greater sensitivity to what I’ve said.
No, I think any firmly held belief can do that. Including atheism.
See: Lord Haseo 😉
WRONG ATHEIST
I know it deepy affects your worldview, but you are a bigot. DENIAL.
