Atheism is a vat of regurgitated horse turd, liquefied and main-lined by atheists

[Vincenzo Vinny G.]

lol jk.

Been keeping tabs on the Muslim riots story, curious how two different values interplay on the issue of free speech versus sacrosanctitude (look it up. im kidding don't i made it up).

The overall theme seems to be, at least in the west, "Free speech ought to be respected". CNN is even reporting on Muslims who believe this. No defense of the other position, no favorable reporting of it.

So we all agree! Free speech, even if it's offensive!

But how willing would we be if it were offensive against things we cared about? After all, isn't the true measure of the value of free speech measured by how we preserve it when it offends us, rather than offends others?

It's easy to say you respect free speech when you're not being inconvenienced by it.

But if you truly respect free speech, you will be willing to tolerate inconvenience and insult yourself. Not others.

And that point should, I believe put the thread title into a little perspective. Do you value free speech enough to hear that? Do you value free speech enough to blaspheme atheism?

What about blaspheming your family and friends? Your values? Your nation? Yourself?

How much do YOU value free speech?

As I look about me I cannot think what would be a blasphemy.

The fact that there have never been any atheist riots inspite of the title of your thread and a lot more said in similar vein about atheists the world over should answer the question.

I've heard people talk bad about atheists all the time. Most of them are quoting the Bible as a defense. Truth be told, no matter how bad people talk about atheism, I have no desire to riot, I have no desire to kill anyone, I have no desire to take over a foreign embassy or kill an ambassador and turn create a whole huge international incident out of it. Usually, I just laugh at them; sometimes, I'll tel them a few not-so-nice parts of the Bible that they usually haven't heard of. That's about the worst I'll do. Truth be told, I don't think I've ever heard of an atheist who is so downright fundamentalist about their atheism that they will kill over it. I mean, sure, there are atheist nutjobs out there, just like every belief system has their nutjobs, but even those nutjobs, when they kill, they don't do it in the name of atheism.

I served in defense of our country for everyone's right to speak for or against anything they wish. I believe in 100% free speech. Once a line is drawn, it is no longer free.

Don't like it, then walk away or change the channel.

This.

I would not wish to silence anyone, no matter how offensive I found their speech.

I have half a mind to issue a fartwad for your killing. Calling all atheists if you are able to take out this satanic blasphemer 40 hot nerdy girls will pleasure you unceasingly until the authorities track you down.

Shock Horror! News just in:
Extreme Atheists demonstrate around the world. Police state that tear gas was used to stop the crowds debating. It is also understood that State Libraries were stormed as the Atheists went on a violent campaign to 'sit in and read a book'.
Religious leaders around the world state their disgust:-
'Immoral people that promote peace and harmony with the universe' - Pope Benedict.
'How dare they demonstrate peacefully, where are their bricks and bottles?' - Ayatollah Khamenei
'We must stop these tolerant Gentiles, assassinate their leaders like all good religions do' ~~Ovadia Yossef

Why do they have to be nerdy? Why can't they just be cool?
