Quote:Sometimes, we consider the opinions of others ill-informed or irrational when in fact there simply isn't enough time in the world for them to covey the subtlety or ultimate foundations of their opinions. Just because you do not know or refuse to accept how they arrived at their belief does not make them or their opinions stupid.
no stupid was the wrong word, but my point is i dont think its arrogant to say that some opinions and beliefs should be regarded as unacceptable, no matter how many people have these beliefs.
And i dont think dawkins or many other famous atheists are arrogant.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

WTF is this? If being called stupid would give pause to my argument, I'd have nothing of such.

Islam is the name of humanity. What you are doing to a different sect of your own religion is something you should not be doing to atheists. I strongly condemn you. I also strongly condemn you on behalf of the Pakistani nation. And I say that this terrorism, that through this that you are carrying out, you are harming Islam, you are harming Pakistan.
Thanks Imran but I don't think I'll be visiting Pakistan any time soon. I wonder where this new enlightened attitude puts us, above pigs but below dogs maybe. Mangy feral dogs I mean, not valued pets, geez there's no way we could get close to their status.

I believe it has to do with the way they're portrayed in news stories and other things that everybody watch. They try to depict atheists as bad people. And it usually works. Many religious people, (including myself), held a huge judgment towards atheists when they called for the cross at Ground Zero to go because it only stood for Christianity. Many people were annoyed by atheists for that.
What did you just say about painting people with a broad brush, and then 50 words later say that Atheists (as a group) did so and so. Ironic much?

I'm with you, I really don't have any problem calling the folks who like to say "therefore spirits" exactly what they are, ignorant. This sort of thinking is unnacceptable in all but the most extreme of circumstances. This isn't even starting in on what preceded "therefore spirits". An adult who engages in this has lost the respect required to turn my ear.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Well it is a broad generalization to assume that all religious people hate non religious people.
But for those religious people who do I suppose it is due to a variety of reasons. Fear? lack of understanding ignorance?
I don't hate religious people,well there are some I hate but I don't hate someone simply because they have a different worldview than I but because of the way they are.It is the religion I don't like.
What irritates me more than the ones who are more obvious in the ones of their hate are the ones who say things like "I will pray for you" etc.
