A worm offered on a barbed hook is not dinner.
Quote:Instead of being so miffed, you should be thankful. The Christian religion has so profoundly affected public life in the West that you take certain civil values for granted. None of those values were present anywhere in the West until the Christian religion brought them in. Do you believe that people have human rights and deserve to be treated with dignity just because they are human? Then you have Christianity to thank for that.
This is laughably wrong.
Quote:Atheists that say they can be good without God are just freeloading off of uniquely Christian values like ‘love your neighbor as yourself’, the Golden Rule, and the brotherhood of Man.
Nonsense. My morality is based on the Golden Rule, which is not unique to Christianity, and empathy, which is notably lacking in the Christian god.
But hey, if it takes blind faith to keep you from being a murderous asshole, by all means, please keep believing.
Quote:I very much doubt that. Christians get offended but generally do not turn to violence. The worst thing a Christian will do is tell you the truth you don’t want to hear.
Never mind the fact that the Christian "truth" is a bunch of hooey -- I guess you've never heard of pogroms, or the Inquisition. Are they representative of modern Christianity? No. But read on ...
Quote:That said, I would not put a picture of Mohammed on your car.
Certainly not in America -- your car would be vandalized promptly in many parts of the country, due to Christian bigotry.
