Back on topic... It really annoys me that 'the religious' insist that their beliefs are off limits and/or must be respected. If one does not believe that a god exists and has the audacity to say so out loud, 'the religious' act as if you have attacked them personally. My lack of belief in your god is not an insult to you (the generic 'you', not anyone in particular) and should not be taken as such. The angry reaction my lack of belief inspires indicates that you are insecure in your beliefs and seek validation. You claim there is a god and I do not believe you. Don't make it out as if I have done you wrong. I have the right to disagree, even if my disagreement upsets you.
That's not to say that I should go out of my way to be offensive to you concerning your belief in a god, but your passive aggressive attempts to oppress my lack of belief is offensive to me. How dare you accuse me of oppression when all I have done is disagree.
