I imagine there are quite a few folks here, myself included, who would agree that's is unfair and quite shitty to broadbrush and callously attack all Christians.
But you're taking it step too goddamned far if you expect that everyone here should start showing "respect" for the religion itself.
That's not going to happen.
Yes it's not going to happen. On a previous post you said you crossed swords with other atheists. I believe I have clangued sabres with you before. That's the big difference. We are not a tribe, as you said, the only thing that we have in common is disbelief in gods, it doesn't inform about anything really except for that fact.
Take an example of these days: OLB, I greatly disagree with his stance on guns and he is an atheist. It is quite known.
This fact blows the double standard proposed by Belaqua out of the water in a split second.
Altough, seeing Drich, Dmitry, etc, pissing and shitting over any moral construct the more moderate theists try to show, they stand in silence when they say the abominable shit they vomit. Like we say in Portugal, Belaqua is calling others whore, before we call him. Who holds double standards after all?
