Good Old Neon Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Ok, answer this please: If our civilization was to fall, and rise again, is it possible that a new god may take the place of the current god? And, if so, is it possible that the new version of god would, in no way, resemble the current version? And, if so, would that render current god obsolete? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good Old Neon Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 To talk about disparagingly or insultingly or To pass over lightly or carelessly; treat without due consideration. Therein lies why everybody takes issue with you...what does it matter if the slur is predicated on skin or religion? A slur is a slur is a slur. Why would you expect anybody to respect you when you don't believe in respect yourself? Is sky god a direct verbal assault against your person, as is the use of nigger or kike?

EL the Famous Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 Because you, yourself, are not sky god so, if you call my best friend/girlfriend/wife/child a 'nigger' or 'kike'...i'm not supposed to feel insulted? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caliber66 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Because you, yourself, are not sky godCalling someone a fool for believing in god (which is what you're doing) is a direct verbal assault on one's beliefs. Pretty much no different than calling someone a kike, or a heeb, or a mackerel snapper (which is actually kinda funny), or whatever religious epithet you want to throw around.

Pretty much no different than calling someone a kike, or a heeb, or a mackerel snapper (which is actually kinda funny), or whatever religious epithet you want to throw around. or, whether he believes it or not, god is someone i have a relationship with...a very strong relationship with on par w/ that of my wife and children. i wouldn't stand for anybody to insult them, why would this be any different? to clarify...joking around about, i can handle and think god can too. he has to have a sense of humor. disrepecting is something completely different. Do I find some beliefs ridiculous, yes, does it then follow that I think I am above the person who holds those beliefs, hell no. finding a belief ridiculous...a lot different than constantly telling someone their belief is ridiculous.
