(July 20, 2015 at 1:07 am)Whateverist the White Wrote: I guess the biggest stumbling block in giving you what you're asking, Cath-y, is that this is precisely where most of us go to vent about religion. Any place else and I'm not in to it. If people enjoyed mocking religion before you arrived, and who among us has not laughed at Bill Maher doing just that, you can't expect them to stop now that you're here, right?
It is one thing to do something because you want to hurt someone versus wanting to do a thing and realizing that might happen. In RL I don't make too many sacrifices for other people's feelings. If we disagree or what they want and I want is incompatible, I don't think I owe it to anyone to sacrifice what I want.
I'm not talking about HERE, whateverist. And I'm not even talking about me specifically. I never said anything about people making fun of religion here.
I'm talking about in real life, to the face of a real life friend. And this conversation all started when Rhythm asked me about a religious friend of his.
This is the problem with these online discussions. People don't read the conversations thoroughly and then start assuming I'm saying things I'm not actually saying lol. It's very frustrating.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
