How do you call yourself an atheist then?
I'm the exception to the rule.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I don't kick kittens.
They're already tender enough.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

In 1854 - just over 100 years before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a Mongomery bus - Elizabeth Jennings Graham, a Black schoolteacher, boarded a 'whites only' streetcar in New York City. After she was forcibly removed, her father, wealthy inventor Thomas A. Jennings, immediately filed a lawsuit on her behalf. The case was decided in Graham's favour the following year (her lawyer was future US President Chester A. Arthur).
The case is credited as helping fully desegregate NYC transit systems a decade later.

It a clever way to memory hole. Society bans the word, but not the predisposition that leads to it's use in the pejorative sense. In the process, it designates those using it in another context as ignorant, and, ofc, part of the problem. In this way society can maintain that it has improved, but those other poor n-word using fuckers have not. Especially The Blacks. Delicious irony.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
