Why are you angry that I don't believe in God?
This is not for the majority of Christians on DU who couldn't give a rat's ass what I believe in.
This is for the Dogged 2% who, although they will never admit it, think I have committed a great wrong against them in not believing in their god.
For me it's simple: no proof. No proof, no god. Anecdotal stories about people becoming better people after attending religious services does nothing to convince me. And telling me "You gotta serve somebody" does not make it so. I serve nobody - and in fact I do not 'serve,' I work. I do whatever the hell I want. And sometimes, I do what other people want.
I happen to believe that thoughts are not sins: you can sit and think about killing puppies all day and it doesn't make you a bad person. Going out and killing a puppy? Different story. We should be judged on our ACTIONS, not our thoughts.
And I also think respect is EARNED, not GIVEN. You do not automatically get respect by virtue of being you. You get it the old fashioned way: you earn it.
For some of you, I have just committed the heresy of heresies. I have basically rejected your worldview. I have said "I'm glad you're happy, but I won't choose that path. Sorry."
And some of you wish me good day on my path and enjoy the diversity. And some of you seethe with all kinds of anger that I would not take your path.
Looks like somebody got a good bag of nose candy today. :whatever:

What the Hades is the Taverner primitive babbling about?
Nobody's angry with the Taverner primitive.
Everybody's laughing at the Taverner primitive.
There's a difference.

What about the bablefish? Kind of a dead give-away, don't you think?

I hope I'm not the only one who noticed :)

Why is Taverner angry over what 2% think?

Why are many atheists angry at those who believe in God?

Ahh, Taverner the Christian/Jew/Atheist... -- how about this Bubbie -- pick a faith or lack thereof and stick to it.

What puzzles me more is WHY do they need constant positive reinforcement that its OK they don't believe in God.

I'm not, moran. I am, however, quite pissed about ONE atheist wanting to "ban" a girder used as a memorial at the Twin Towers because it looks like a cross.

Taverner, we couldn't GAF if you spontaneously combusted, let alone what you do or don't believe in this morning, except we'd have one less unemployable DUmp poster to mock...but there's no shortage of them anyway.

Dunno, maybe because you will not shut up about it?

So, he's an atheist the week. I, for one, cannot wait for his Amish week.

I would guess he wouldn't post that week, but Taverner is probably as bad at being Amish as he is at everything else.
