Don't most of you say it's insulting/condescending when others say they will pray for you when you're going through a tough time? Or when others say God bless you?
This topic has nothing to do with that though. So that's a moot point.
Quote:I also have never seen any of you accuse someone of being "too sensitive" or "too insecure" when they say they are offended when folks tell them "I'll pray for you" and "God bless you."
But if I tell you it's insulting/condensing when you equate the beliefs that I hold to those held by 4 year olds, you call me too sensitive and insecure? And that it should only matter how people meant it, not how I took it?
Isn't that how you want theists to treat you? Why would you not treat us with the same sensibilities you want us to treat you with?
The point is - is that from what I've seen here in this thread, theists want their cake and eat it too. Theists like CW feel like they have the inalienable right to call people douchbags right off the bat, and then get offended when people take offense to that. He started this shit and others are trying to finish it because, quite frankly, this is his way of instigating and in reality, his first post calling people douchbags for their opinions, is immature and childish. It's like his opinion is the only one that matters and fuck anyone that doesn't agree. What's the point of discussion if this is the attitude from the get go?
And if an atheist started a post like that, directed at theists, would you be willing to defend that atheist for calling your fellow theists douchebags?
