Disagreeing with someone's views openly does not equate to victimization unless it inspires some sort of action against them directly, in which case it has only lead to victimization.
I just disagreed with something you believe. Do you feel victimized? Of course not. The scale may be different, but the concept remains the same.
No, it is not "disagreeing" on the existence of God or not. Blasphemy is not only saying that God does not exist, it is also speaking AGAINST God. Both of these things, to them, are insults. It is insulting their way of life, their culture, and the God who they worship. You have to realize that different things offend different people.
If you had said "i disagree, and you are an idiot for thinking that", then i may have been offended in some way: this is what i am talking about. It is not just a simple argument like a political party or the new Star Wars movie where people can hold different views: in religion, insulting your God is insulting you, and saying your God doesn't exist is an insult to Him.
If you can't understand that, there is nothing i can do for you.
also, i think ScienceIsTheOnlyLord has finally gotten insane.
