Okay, it's an observation. Fair enough. But if the poster internalizes it to be all that happens then it does have a chance of becoming a feeling of being victimizes for your beliefs.What makes you think I'm Christian or Muslim?
And I'm aware this happens.
No, it isn't a 'victim' mentality. It's an observation, and one which has been frequently verified over and over.
It should be expected that someone should have an understanding of how faith works, especially on a religious discussion and education forum.
And it's definitely more frequent from the non-theist non-religious camp here.
I think most people do know and have an understanding of how faith works. It's that understanding that causes people to question. It is a forum of diverse beliefs. It makes sense that there would be discussion that would end up differing. Since the subject of religious beliefs is such an emotional one, it makes sense that sometimes people are more 'passionate' in their responses. That doesn't mean they don't value the person they are responding to though. Sometimes I think it's the belief that the 'religious' are naturally going to be persecuted. This comes directly from their religious teachings. I know some people who feel it is a privilege to be persecuted for their beliefs. Something I don't understand, but accept as being their belief. So depending on your viewpoint and whether you feel it is persecution, it will color how you interpret another's posts.
No I don't know what belief system you adhere to. I only responding to the fact that you feel those of religion are being 'picked on' unfairly.
As another poster stated, we all are subject to those who disagree with us. In fact I was just disagreed with by you. However, I don't take it personally and see it as a different point of view.
