Love you too Neim, but I don't think it was in good fun.
Ya'll may be atheists, but you know very well that Jesus and our beliefs are things that are very sacred to us and close to our hearts. While I don't like to see stuff on this forum that makes fun of Jesus, I don't let it feel like a personal insult, because it isn't. This post, on the other hand, was personal and directed at me specifically. It was directly making fun of me personally in regards to something very sacred to me. You guys know that.
Like I said, not surprised or disappointed at the post itself because I have no ties with Kusa and don't consider him a friend, so I wouldn't expect him to not be so disrespectful to me. But to say this was done in "good fun" is a bit ridiculous. And since Rob has apologized, the only reason I am posting this is to simply object to the notion that it was harmless fun and had no mean intent whatsoever.
C_L, you're one of the very few theists who has come here who's attitude hasn't made me want to puke, but seriously, you need to grow some thicker skin. You're on an atheist site after all.
Let's see. Here at AF I've been called a bimbo, been compared to the KKK, been cussed at, and been told I am not a good person. Didn't let it bother me.
But when someone who is my friend does something that I think was out of line, I say something. Perhaps you did not understand that the part that upset me was the friend having kudosed something that was clearly meant to make fun of me. I don't care about the making fun, I care about my friendships here.
Please don't say I don't have thick skin.
"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."
