religious friends

[LukeMC]

Come to think of it.. I have come to think the thoughts that both of you both share as disgusting. Just cause they think you are going to hell doesn't give you any right to assume that they are missing half a brain.
We are all people.
And you are at a great loss if you are unable to communicate with somebody that has different views then you.
Would you all like to have an atheist street?
I know in certain parts of the globe it can be difficult to be an atheist.. in particular, some parts of America..
but everybody deserves respect.
Look I won't too evangelistic in this post.. I mean I can't kill you to much.. cause I also used to be the same as you too.
I don't restrain myself from talking about religion.. although I have learnt to be less judgemental and am respectful in my choice of words.

If somebody fervently believed in the stork theory of pregnancy, you'd find them a little weird and crazy. If somebody believed in a mighty being with fairytale lands to send you to and floods and fermements and dinosaur riding humans and arks and talking snakes and magic trees and the power of telepathic requests... You'd be like "excuse me?". You can't help but think "is this person crazy or something?", but you hold back these thoughts and try to discuss it. Then they get offended, offensive, defensive, emotional, undebatable and then you have this little awkward patch in your friendship and from there everything just seems to crumble.

EDIT* : All I'm saying is that it's hard to be a rational person and take somebody elses blatently reason-defying beliefs seriously. We all feel a need to say "woah, you're better than that type of thinking"
