Or does it?"<br /><br />Well geez, when you put it THAT way, I guess some dude on the other side of the planet WOULD have a better idea of how my life runs than the voices that live in my head.<br /><br /><br />"I don't know where you live ..."<br /><br />You hurt my feelings, you couldn't figure out where I live simply by the fact that I referred to myself as an Aussie and briefly mentioned that my Nana's opinion on the Australian PM is based on her religious views? (Not to mention the use of phrases such as, "cop flack", whose scope you as a non-Australian may have misunderstood. I forgive you, we're proud of being incomprehensible for some reason.)<br /> How can I be expected to read every single word you write when you don't extend the same courtesy to me?<br /><br />To be fair, I live in China at the moment, though. (And atheists do MORE than okay over here, you'll just have to take my word for it okay cos I don't know what kind of slander you capitalists have been exposed to over there!) I made a bad joke about them being pro-xkcd a while back. My gut tells me that I am right, clearly they block all of blogspot to conceal the existence of the growing anti-xkcd movement within.<br /><br />"Maybe you skipped over the wall of text. But here's the fallacy that the atheist-bashers like to commit: restrict attention to people's private lives."<br /><br />Nah, I didn't, and no, I don't,. Are you insinuating that I am a self-hating atheist? =S<br />Anyway, the point that you are not quite getting is that you are getting cause and effect sorely muddled. The fact that religion is used as an excuse or a tool to persecute others does not mean that the persecution stems from religious belief, but rather the tendency of people to be small-minded fools.<br /><br />Atheists and Christians are all the same in the eyes of the Muslims in charge in Malaysia, for example. Muslims and atheists are pretty much the same as far as the Fundie Christians that America is so famous for producing are concerned. Contrary to popular belief, Buddhists haven't done that much better historically, and there have been tons of examples of people without religion going after religious groups, too. It's not that atheists are being singled out, it's the tendency of idiots within groups to think everyone should believe the same thing that they do - and atheists are by no means special in this respect. We've got our own ranting lunatics too.<br /><br /><br />You might say, "okay well that doesn't mean we shouldn't DO something about it!!!" Okay, sure. Keep yelling at people in a panicked and indignant tone on the internet. It's us against EVERY MAJOR RELIGION IN THE WORLD, all at the same time, all over the place. You've sure got me converted to the cause.

See, in British English, bum means butt, and to bum means to have sexual intercourse in the bum. On the other hand, to bum (or more precisely to bum s.o. out) means to cause him/her to be disappointed or depressed, which is a close, albeit not perfect, substitute for to persecute.<br /><br />I was just underlying how relevant I found Anon 447's point: "I have yet to see an argument against atheists that could not be directly applied to the gay movement."<br /><br />Captcha: culas.

Or does it?<br /><br />I don't know where you live, but:<br /><br />(1) In the U.S. it is effectively impossible for an atheist to be elected to any vaguely important public office. Even if they don't run on an atheist platform or emphasize atheism in any way.<br /><br />(2) In South America the same is true. What's more, many important media outlets will not hesitate to impugn the reputation of atheism on absolutely no grounds. A recent major case was a newscaster saying that a certain gruesome murder "could only be caused by not having god in one's heart". Moreover atheist ad campaigns are routinely refused by billboards, buses etc on grounds of "offense". You may venture a guess as to whether christian ads are subject to similar treatment.<br /><br />(3) In the Middle East religion is a major source of law. They routinely stone widows for "adultery", apostasy warrants death, and in the last couple of months Israel has been trying to make its citizens pledge allegiance to a "jewish state".<br /><br />(4) In India politicians must not only be religious but some higher-ups actually have sorcerers in their staff.<br /><br />(5) Still in the second decade of the 20th century the catholic church used its influence over South America, Portugal, Spain and Italy to delay for years or decades the legalization of (civil!) divorce.<br /><br />(6) In most countries of the western world it was legally required until relatively recently that ALL government employees be christian.<br /><br />Maybe you skipped over the wall of text. But here's the fallacy that the atheist-bashers like to commit: restrict attention to people's private lives.<br /><br />Maybe everyone is an asshole at a personal level, or maybe everyone gets along at the family dinner, but one of the groups is having their societal rights trampled on a much more regular basis. Whether anyone SOUNDS ARROGANT or COPS FLACK is a laughably irrelevant concern. Probably a lot of gay activists sound arrogant to the Pope, but hey, maybe the Pope's delicate sensibilities aren't as important as equal rights for everyone?<br /><br />I have yet to see an argument against atheists that could not be directly applied to the gay movement. "Oh shut up it's not so bad", "you're coming off arrogant", "some of my best friends are atheists".<br /><br />OK, maybe the insane counterfactual "if atheists were in charge they would segregate religious people, therefore SHUT UP".Anon 4:47noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-44399856309153697812010-12-29T07:43:13.954-08:002010-12-29T07:43:13.954-08:00rob ate a cheerleader in high school?
