It was because of her conviction that all people deserve respect and equality regardless of differences. So, I don't know why she feels her actions were representative of "negative atheism." Her behavior had nothing to do with atheism whatsoever.True, but as I directed a number of statements toward the kind of god that could support such evil... it could be partially interpreted as such


I wouldn't call you a 'negative atheist' either... I do think you are a zealot for atheism and humanism though

Secularone Wrote:But I have a question... Do you think that "nurturing hate for homosexuals with a view to disenfranchise them" is a legitimate right of theists as part of their free exercise of religion?No, I do not... which is why I said this (before citing an example [depends on interpretation really] of what one might call 'toe-treading' on 'theistic rights?'):
