Contemplate a First Amendment that still covers free exercise of religion, but specifically excludes heresy.

YES.  My god, yes.  Well said, Vorlon.

It's one thing for a thought to be disagreeable, and to disagree on that thought in a civil way. I can move on from a disagreement of ideas, but with religious people it's not just a disagreement of ideas. They take disagreement with their ideas as some sort of prejudice, telling them you think their beliefs are stupid is a direct attack on who they are to them. 

You know, it's hard because there's a lot of really nasty shit I would like to say about religious people, about how I'd like to literally torture them because they annoy me so much, but you can't say too much stuff like that because then someone will take you seriously and call the police on you, or whatever. Moralizing pricks. But how do you handle religious people, in that you can't get them to think rationally because of their "faith" which is what they use to force themselves to think without skepticism, and no matter how much you disagree with them they're always going to keep on being stupid, no matter what you do?

It's like a vice grip on my brain, when I think about religious people. They just infuriate me, and it's infuriated me since I was really young. I absolutely despise the fact that I have to live in a world with people who lack critical thinking skills, so much that they say that something exists that has no evidence for it's existence. That's basically it, it's so simple when it comes down to it. There's no evidence that god exists, none at all. But no, I have to live in a world with people who literally believe some dude walked on water, and that once their body decays their "soul" is going to live on. 

They're so fucking stupid, I hate them. And you're a piece of shit if you think I'm a piece of shit for feeling emotions that are only human. Fuck you. I feel like I'm playing a videogame where the NPC is really stupid. The video game starts to be predictable and boring, and you only wish that the game was smarter. That's how it feels being in a world filled with religious people. They're so fucking stupid I want to strangle them, and there's nothing whatsoever I can do about it.

so you hate me? Ouch, don't wanna get on your bad side

Fear not , Mirek-Polska! I don 't think that one will last long.

You know, there was an 8th dwarf, Sleazy.

He seduced Snow White while she was asleep in his bed, and that's why he wasn't in the movie...

Really, okay I'll be that one .. probably make me less grumpy too.

Nah, apparently after he was fired Walt Disney put salacious stories about and he couldn't find work.

For a while he had a gig as a gnome in the garden of a state senator but then there was a scandal with a fairy princess ornament and he was sacked again.

After that he drifted into drunkenness and making Disney Nasties, and died forgotten in a sleazy hotel room in Florida.

Really!

You can't make this shit up!
