My biggest issue with theists

[Whateverist]

My biggest issue with religious people is that they have problem with everybody and they feel entitled to exhort you with their bronze age morality and rules for living.

I want the gal in the red dress to say at the end "we realize that but nobody cares".

Set boundaries with your friends. Limits are good for any relationship and if you value your friends, the boundaries you set will go a long way in maintaining that friendship.

I do have boundaries with them. But unfortunately, not disrespecting my country is not a boundary they are ready to set, because they simply don't understand how I can compare that to boundaries about respecting religion.

First of all, my condolences for the loss of your Dodos.

But I'm wondering if you are really rabidly patriotic or you just don't appreciate outsiders dissing what you are happy to diss yourself with fellow insiders? Personally I have a low regard for patriotism as such since the place we are born is an accidental kind of thing and even a little reflection will reveal that others probably have similar feelings about the place where they were born.
