No disrespect to you, FAST, but it seems theres two very narrow minded individuals & possible dickheads - one guy wont respect the other guys beliefs because he doesn;t respect my beliefs. Hummmm, sounds like a vicious circle. If only one of these guys had the courage and compassion to take some initiative to try to see it from the other guys perspective, rather than just spout piss and vinegar. Are you going to be that guy, or are you content just to continue along that same circle. Hint for you, most guys do NOT have that courage & compassion, even though they wont accept or admit it. But, I think you are the exception to that, FAST. Dont let me down, buddy!
SETH.
The point I was trying to make,...but it seems, not very well,...is this editor, by simply using the religious term
blasphemy as a means of describing my comments on a religion,...is narrow minded.
A religious person starts a conversation by asking me what religion am I,…when I say,…none,…their response is to call me an atheist,… now the question and response,… is that not at the very least, narrow minded ???
A marriage can only be with a man a and a women, is that not narrow minded, and even insulting ???
I will not personally insult a religious person,…unless of coarse they initiate insults.
My SO is religious,…we have abosoltlulyt no issues on that front.
I don’t insult her religion, actually she has a lot of negative things to say about how people abuse religion.
But insulting a religion, polical party, hockey team, or what ever, in print, or internet etc,…this NOT personal,…if you can’t handle the it,…you really need to have your “beliefs” re confirmed, because you are not really to confident.
There is NO vicious circle.
The Pope is now saying that people should not insult religion,…I realize this is his game,…but he has no right to tell me what I can or cannot say about his businness.
I probably pissed you off,…but this is my postion,…which in a free country,…I am allowed to have.
FAST
