The irony with it is, if you were an atheist saying that same thing, you wouldn't have been judged for it. It would have been totally accepted and you would have even gotten a few extra kudos for it. But, because you are a theist, more specifically a catholic, some people here will always have issues with what you say, regardless. Those are the people who should not be talking about acceptance of others when they can't even see past their own indifferences.
Many people seem to have issues with theists here, on all fronts - not just on subjects revolving around religion. This is sad because people are so much more than being religious or non-religious. A Theist makes some wonderful hats and when he posts pictures of them, he gets a lot of kudos. So why is it that some individuals here can't get away from their own hate towards religion when it comes to the non-religious things you say? Probably because they would instantly cut off their nose to spite their face rather than admit that you might have a valid point about something that had nothing to do with religion.
What's sad about all of that is that those who seem to take issue with every word you say and want to judge you harshly for you being you, seem to have forgotten that they left their own closet door open and a bunch of skeletons fell out in the process.
This pabulum about "if she followed my own beliefs she wouldn't have been in that position" is essentially using this woman's grief to advance her faith. That's exactly why I called agenda.
If you're cool with that, okay. But you should be careful about what, and who, you support.
As I explained already but apparently need to say again:
That's is not AT ALL what I meant by my comment. It was the other way around more than anything - if AZIZ had more respect for her as a human being and more respect for sexual morality he wouldn't have rushed through dinner so he could take her home and start pressuring her to have sex with him. I had HIM in mind when I wrote that, not her.
I would appreciate not having words put in my fucking mouth. Thanks.

I'll repost it again and hopefully people will stop accusing me of stupid bullshit:

Don't see how my post about promoting sex as a language of self giving love and commitment (oh the horror) in any way blames the person who did not want to have casual sex. That suggestion was much more for him.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
