Yeah, barely out of his teens - if that.

Minors do not enjoy the same rights as adults.
Maybe they should, in some ways. For example, I think no-one should inherently deserve your respect. Fuck this "respect your elders" notion. It's idiotic and antiquated.

You'd have kids coming up and kicking people in the shins all the time. Would we be allowed to disrespect kids if they didn't earn our respect?

I can imagine the utopia now. Atheism's biggest contribution to the world is communism, so go figure.

^^^^^^That just may be my favorite GIF of all time.

The girl is for sure being a little brat. That kind of behavior is just childish (I know she's a child) and does nothing to make dissuade the street preacher or anyone from listening.

I do think it's funny. There is nothing about this that says this girl is doing this because she's an atheist. She just could be mad because he's ruining her pre-Halloween festivities. If her parents did, in fact, put her up to this, shame on them.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

That would be assault. I never said that people not inherently deserving respect meant that they are deserving of disrespect. See how you blatantly twisted what I said to make it seem like I said that? it didn't work.

A theist spouting drivel. Surprise surprise.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make with this. A man assaults a woman for urinating. How is that relevant?

Much simpler time I guess...

My thoughts about this post, in order of appearance:

A simpler time, for a simpleton. Rolleyes

How do you intend to demonstrate your claimed causative link between children not affording elders automatic respect and a degeneration in society?

Society is going downhill apparently, and yet crime rates keep dropping every year.
