As long as someone isn't rubbing their believes in my face, I extend the same courtesy to them. I don't care for missionaries on both sides. One of the reasons I dislike Harris that much. But only one of many.

Try it with a different subject.

Quote:I'm personally not impressed when someone is (just) a non-helmet-wearing cyclist.

What I'm impressed with are people .. who were total scoff-laws that spoke out against helmets and told people what horseshit it was in plain non-PC language.

Cuz being an asshole about something is bad ass.

Wipe your salty tears from your vagina, holy shit.

Why should I be impressed that someone figured out that mythology isn't real? Should I praise every atheist out there just for being so, even my atheist peers who are regressives? No. Call that being an asshole, I call it being real.
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.
