  If you were born in an other country, an other time or just in your country and your time but in an other family, you’d probably have other religious views.

  And even if it wasn’t the case, if you lose respect for people just because they made a stupid choice, you didn’t have a lot of respect for them from the beginning. Tolerance reserved for people agreeing with you is not tolerance, it’s agreement. It’s bigotry.

    My tolerance ends the moment someone else is intolerant of me. Christians think I am going to hell and plenty of them would happily kill me if they thought they could get away with it. I won’t tolerate that.

      That’s legitimate. I’d say it’s even the only case where intolerance is legitimate.

      Christians think I am going to hell and plenty of them would happily kill me if they thought they could get away with it. I won’t tolerate that.

      Some think that, some would do that. And you’re 100% right not tolerating that. But none of that is inherent to Christianity.

    Oh, just fuck off and cry about it to your invisible sky-daddy

    I don’t care what you think, I don’t value your opinions and I have no respect for you whatsoever

    You’re stupid, and once again, you’re making up a definition of bigotry that fits your identity as a victim

    I refer you back to my point about bigotry applying to things that people can’t control

    Again: Your superstition is a choice.

    You’re not the victim of bigotry.

    You’re just upset because I think of your religion the same way you think about the religions that aren’t your particular flavour of stupidity.

      I didn’t wrote this definition. It’s from a dictionary; check yours. Of as dictionaries stupid too?

      You’re just upset because I think of your religion the same way you think about the religions that aren’t your particular flavour of stupidity.

      No you don’t think of my religion the same way I think about others’. Contrary to you, I respect people I disagree with, and religions and schools of thought that aren’t mine. Most of my friends are atheists, one of my closest one is Muslim. Because I may be religious, but I’m not a bigot.
