Do you know how many times did I hear this sentence in here?
Look; pal. .......exactly !
No, I don’t know. But, for whatever it’s worth, it happens to be true. I don’t despise believers. I don’t wish them ill or want their rights abrogated.
I pity them. It makes me sad that - with very few exceptions - they’ve traded their humanity and basic decency for a belief system which instills in them a hatred for other people. I’m sad that so many, many of them use their religion as a vehicle for actions which, to the rest of us, are anathema.
It isn’t YOU I despise. I despise your religion for what it’s made you.
