The double standard on religious respect
April 27, 2013 at 10:04 am
New member and committed atheist here,
I've written this blog article on religious respect and why I think we should care what other's believe. It would be great to know what other atheists and theists think of it!

<Snip!>

Thanks!

Hi and welcome to AF! ^_^

Unfortunately our rules are such that you're not allowed to post links to your own e.g. blog or YouTube videos. But fortunately, if you stick around for 30 days or post 30 post, you can re-post the link. Happy posting!
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

"Respect" is a one-way street with those fuckers.

Ha. It's so true. In general humans have a hard time viewing things from other people's standpoints but the hypocrisy of the religious in regards to freedom of speech issues is glaringly obvious. Freedom of speech is a two way street. The reason that the religious are so quick to whine and bitch about respect when their real goal is censorship is that they can't win an open an honest debate. That's why people are deconverting in crazy numbers.
