I mock your fucking god constantly. Big deal.

I'm telling on you. Thor will be very angry when he finds out.

He needs help from the most unlikely of sources.

Quote:An infinite God ought to be able to protect himself, without going in partnership with State Legislatures. Certainly he ought not so to act that laws become necessary to keep him from being laughed at. No one thinks of protecting Shakespeare from ridicule, by the threat of fine and imprisonment.

Christians in the west, and even Jews in the west, rightfully get angry at the threats of Muslims for what they see as blasphemy of Islam. Yet these same people don't have the balls to institutionalize the same theocratic fascism in the east here. Personally, I hope they never do.

I would suggest they move to Iran or Saudi Arabia if their top priority is living in a country where a god cannot be picked on.

History is a cast-iron bitch, Brian.

They did try it. Why do you think they long for the "good old days?"

Then what's the problem? Your god is beyond mockery and you've set yourself up as a target for mockery. You've renounced all title to complaints of offense.

He obviously doesn't understand that when I mock god I am really mocking his beliefs. He should take it all personally. There is no god to mock.

This is what I cant stand about humans, but also what I understand about myself now looking back at when I was a kid. Now while my mother, whom I have always loved and of course still do, was too much of an authoritarian with me sometimes, caused me to take everything she said personally, even the times where she was simply saying "DAMN IT YOU ARE ACTING STUPID". She loves me, but there really were times when I was acting stupid or saying stupid shit and she was simply trying to correct me.

He should take it personally in the sense that someone sold him a bill of goods. But he should not take it personally when all we are doing is saying "Sorry dude, the Yankees did not win the Superbowl".

I think if I went up to my mom or called her right now and said "You know what Mom, I just discovered that I am Napoleon" and she thought I really meant it, I think she would have every right to be concerned.

Atheists don't mock religion because we hate humans. We mock it because we know humans can do better viewing the world with telescopes not Kaleidoscope thinking. It is is never for the atheist a human rights issue or personal, it is strictly for us what comes out of your mouth and the evidence you have to back out what comes out of your mouth.

I would feel safer with someone who fears God than someone who feels they have no accountability to anyone. Just my opinion.

That's odd. I feel safer around people who don't need instructions like "don't murder," "don't steal," and "don't bang your neighbor's wife" with the threat of eternal punishment as a consequence.

But given that the Bible and God himself repeatedly endorses and instructs God's followers to sack a city, kill all the children and rape the women, why do you think it is we don't see Christians doing more of that?

Interestingly, many criminals and most serial killers are Christian.
