They're so quick to accuse us of being offended by their religion

I am not offended by people believing in the Christian god, I am insulted and disgusted by it. This is because as such they are living in either wilful ignorance or in a self-serving deception in order to virtue signal. Either way the Christian god demands of its followers missionary work and the spreading of its cult to the "unenlightened" a very rude and insulting principle.
As such they believe that people who disagree with them are worthy of eternal punishment for the sin of disrespecting their imaginary friend.
As such, though some may deny it, they tacitly support and condone sexism, homophobia, racism, the persecution of the differently able and demand exceptions from the law in order to comply with such beliefs.
As such they present as a loving gift to their own children and family a book as a gift that condones slavery and even provides rules for the punishing of, conning of, beating of and eugenic breeding of other human beings.
A book that openly orders the murdering of "the profane", dictates diet, encourages shunning, countenances rape and child rape, bodily mutilation of infants and promises in the "great" times to come a never ending theocracy and wholesale slaughter of all who object.
No I am not offended when such people are the final word in all matters of law and order in a nation state…
I am fucking terrified!

Well said!

More like the God they pretend to believe in. The only God they worship is power...

That offends me the most and now we have the Supreme Court coming out as the monster in the closet. Are they the morality police and is this really Iran?

If a child told you that there was a monster in its closet, you would most likely try to assuage their fears by demonstrating that there is no monster. Believers do the opposite, their monster is in heaven and it throws people into a burning hell for eternity, and they convince their children of that myth and the myth that their god is love.

When these children become indoctrinated at an early age it can be very hard for them to break free.

These believers are much like a child who believes that there is a monster in their closet, someone trying to assuage their fears opens the closet to show them there is no monster, but they still believe in the monster. They empty the closet to show them there is no monster, but they still believe in the monster. They take the child outside and burn the house down to ashes, but they still believe in the monster, and in the closet.

So, yes, I do get offended by religion. It makes people victims.

If the story of the earth starts with the bible, if Noah truly built a Ark and gave all animals free passage to the ark, why was dinosaurs not part of those animals? Today, scientists are bringing several evidence of dinosaur fossil but such evidence never existed in the bible. Somebody help me please!

The story of the earth does not start with your bible and Noah had some trouble catching all of those animals to put on his Ark.

@DenoPenno Not my bible. lol

Fuck god, but we do have an awesome majority in the courts.

Thank you Donald John Trump.

When you insist I follow the rules of your gods, I hear you saying I must follow your rules.

And please remember that the god of the Buy Bull is a genocidal maniac with catastrophic anger management issues.

I have no time for any mental defective who tries to foist his or her god onto everybody else.

I’m not offended by their religion so much as their bigoted ignorance and stupidity….🀠

Religion is what you resort to when you want to prove, that which you can't prove by reason or evidence, and what you can't prove by reason or evidence is bigoted ignorance and stupidity.

Like statists, the "rules" of a culture that hurts people and the God belief is nowhere in the equation ,but they still ruin lives ,in some instances worse than the enforcers of God , sometimes state enforcement is worse...

My sentiments exactly!

All greedy oppressive power hungry individuals always used their allusion of power wether grant by race, religion, heritage, or position to grant them the right to be offended, steal, take by force, or murder to placate their faux sense of superiority and power!!!

Same goes for climate change.

@ErichZannIII No, you can believe whatever you want about climate change, just don't wreck the US economy in a futile attempt to stop it.

Yes, United States of America must be brought to an end for raping these lands from the original indigenous inhabitants calling them such as Mexicans, indian and native American forcing them to obey their rules of taxation, capitalism slavery and such.

And how far in history you gonna dig ,so that the most Innocent tribes get everything given to them?

@laidback1 You just won the stupidest comment of the day award!! Congratulations, take a bow! You certainly have earned this distinguished honor!!!?😎

@Buck really so which tribe gets which land ? Before or after they stopped fighting? ..

@laidback1 no tribe would necessarily get any land. You would have to understand the original indigenous views that land was not something to be owned, but as a steward, appreciate it for its freeness and only taking and using what is needed: among other ideals of living freely on the land.

Just sharing one reference for your viewing on the topic.
The Dawes Act of 1887 sought to assimilate Native Americans by, among other things, transforming their traditional uses and attitudes about land and land ownership to more mainstream American values of private ownership and settled farming.

[shec.ashp.cuny.edu]

@Word The original nomads who entered Europe from Central Asia felt the same way, but the land in Europe was eventually cultivated. That kind of lifestyle could support at most 100,000,000 people, leaving the other 7,900,000,000 to starve.

@laidback1 Please see my previous comment!!πŸ™ƒ
