I have never stated, or thought myself to be more than that which I do not like. If I do not like a woman, Its not because I deem myself above her, I just don't like her.
Of course. You would never judge a woman simply by the fact that she's a woman. That's just sexism, and wrong.
Yet this is what you are doing with atheists. it's still discrimination, and you're a jerk if you do it.
So this business you suggest of me not liking Atheist because they are lesser than me, is unfounded in my view.
When you say, "I dislike people of X because they have X," that is discrimination.
If X is skin colour, then it is racism, and it's wrong.
If X is gender, then it is sexism, and it's wrong.
If X is atheism, does it suddenly become more acceptable to you?
In any case, it doesn't matter WHY you don't like atheists. The instant you say, "You're an atheist, therefore I don't like you," you are a discriminatory jerk.
My view, perhaps not yours.
In my view, any form of discrimination is wrong.
I have been disliked before, and it was up to me to determine why, perhaps you determine my dislike by trying to suggest I think I am above Atheist.
You have said that you will dismiss anything that atheists say simply because they are atheists. Doesn't this mean that you don't care for atheists' opinions? Doesn't that mean you are putting yourself above atheists?
Handle that as you wish, I believe in the Salvation of all humans, why would I then place myself above anyone?
I'm just going by what you have said yourself. You dismiss atheists simply because they are atheists.
I am not judging anything about your personal life, I don't care about your personal life, thats your business.
I never said you were judging me by my personal life, I said you are judging by my views on religion. You have said that yourself.
Am I predujice because I don't want to know about you?
You are prejudiced because you don't want to know about atheists simply because they are atheists.
if someone comes up to you in the street and says pleasantly, "Hi, I'm an atheist," you would just dismiss them then and there. They have done nothing to offend you, they have done nothing to hurt you, yet you have judged them as being ignorable just because you know they are atheist. That is prejudice. You are prejudiced.
I admit to being racist to a point, always have been, being Black, I have seen enough things to have my mind influenced by it. I am not overly predujuice, but I have enough in me to know it. I don't mistreat others, but I know how I am.
You do mistreat others.
If I was to say to you, "I don't like you because you are black," you;d think I was a ********. Likewise, I think the same thing when you say you don't like atheists because they are atheists.
I don't like people who try to say God does not exist, and give his creation power over to things developing from nothing and pervert our existance to being born of Apes. I strongly dislike that, strongly.
What's your problem with it?
When I say that God does not exist, I am not forcing you to say it also. You can have whatever belief you want about God. But you have no right at all to say what others can believe about God. If you dislike someone just because of an idea that causes you no harm, then that's just plain silly. And if you have a problem with evolution, don't have a hissy fit about it, go and find evidence to show that it is wrong.
But if all you do is get all ****** off whenever someone disagrees with you, then you are going to spend most of your life in a bad mood.
To me its the worse condition a human mind can be in. Now if in your configuration of things, you want to compare that dislike to racism, then go ahead, I got some racism in me to, but I am not a serious racist, my exgirlfriend of 3 years was white.
Your position on racism doesn't affect your position on atheism. You judge people as being unworthy of your attention just because they are atheist. That's as bad as racism and sexism and any other kind of discrimination. Just because you don't discriminate much based on race or sex, doesn't make it okay for you to discriminate on other things.
And I have never stated, or thought, that I was better than anyone, because of their disbelief.
The fact that you automatically deicde that someone's views don't matter as soon as you find out they are an atheist does speak of you thinking you are better than atheists.
But listen, you can think any distorted or diverted thought about me that you wish, I don't care about that, and I will not like Atheist because of their accusations against me of being racist.
I never accused you of being racist. I accused you of being discriminatory.
I know I am racist, and I know how much I am racist, and its not much, but I am guilty of it.
Irrelevant to this discussion.
I am a " Reaction Racist", if you hit me, I'll hit you back, but you have to hit me first. If you start being racist toward me, I will react to that, if not, I willnot.
But you don't do the same thing when it comes to atheists. An atheist doesn't need to be rude to you before you are rude to them. You're rude to them the instant you discover they are an atheist.
And thats just me. As long as you treat me right, I'll treat you right, but if you open the gates, then its going to come out.
Unless it's an atheist you are dealing with. Then you "open the gates" as you put it right from the start, whether they've done anything to you or not.
I consider Atheism as racism towards God, and thats what I do not like. A mind that does that, is simply dangerous to me. They have gone to the ultimate extreme of human selfishness, and I simply will never trust a person who does that.
And do you consider belief in God as "racist" towards the idea of no God? It goes both ways, y'know.
Practice what you preach. Live and let live. Judge other people on how they act, not what their beliefs are, okay?
