Okay so I don't think you're getting my point here. It's NOT about the world GETTING me! Where on earth are you even getting this from? Really, where? Just tell me! How did you get that from ANYTHING I said?


Because you list ONE incident for believing it's "socially ok" and "cool" for people to give you a hard time. Just because one person does it doesn't make it that way and yet here you in this thread acting as if society is about to jump in and join him even though it hasn't. That's where I'm getting it from.

And if you can't stand even one incident then don't try being an unbeliever because you'll get a lot more incidents like this!

And btw, by your own admission this guy already knew you (as opposed to he saw your cross or Bible and lashed out) and didn't like you, so it sounds to me that he wasn't hating on your religion, he was hating on you as a person, religion was just the excuse. He very well may have hated on you for being an unbeliever as well, or if not then on a dozen other things (including the subjects that never fails, a woman's looks and sexual habits), that is to say trashing your beliefs was a means to an end, not an end in itself. And heck, plenty of Christians trash other Christians (especially those of another denomination) so as far as I know he was religious himself...you're too vague in your description for me to tell.

In any case, you should focus on all the friendly people in your life (and notice that most simply don't care enough one way or another), not some aberration. I'm not saying what this guy did was ok, what I am saying is that you don't have to live in fear of society treating you the same (and in any case, not everyone is going to like you, no matter what, probably not even at your church, that simply has to be accepted).

ETA: The way most people who find themselves extremely anxious over how people act toward them often find humor helps (including in imagining the person giving you a hard time over something trivial as someone silly, like 1 person I know imagines her critics as like the comic book guy from The Simpsons) as well as diversion...and of course being around people who accept you, and it's important to keep incidents like these in perspective. It really is a skill people need to learn or the world will chew you up and spit you out without a second thought.

I wish I knew how to be so succinct as you usually are.
Well said!
Many points I tried to make but failed I think.
Thank you.
Good advice too.

I don't know how everything got so twisted here, but it bothers me. P-S said, " I've come across some really horrible people who tried shoving their ridiculous opinion down my throat by trying to convince me that believing in God is stupid, or pathetic etc.."

How does anyone HERE get offended by that?

She's talking about people SHE came across, making specific comments with strongly pejorative terms. So if you are not the person who said that to P-S, and if you aren't using those pejorative terms, she isn't talking about you.

Simple!

Why was anyone else offended here?

I didn't dump everyone in one category. All I was saying is that SOME people really need to stop thinking it's cool to make fun of people praying or fun of religious people(At least towards those do not try to force their opinion on you. ) That is all!


I got that.

I am going to try to explain but you will most likely not listen.
Going to try though.
For one moment put on your logic hat and don't assume I am against PS.
I am not.
She misrepresented her experience.
I do not think it was intentional, but was emotional venting due to anger.
PS explained later, and the situation was not exactly how we were initially led to believe.
And it was worded in such a way that to appear that in her opinion, anyone who does not believe as her has "ridiculous opinions".
And it was one person she knows, not "some horrible people".
Yes it is rude to insult someone as her friend did, knowing it would upset her.
Sounds like just a rude jerk.
So the "some horrible people, shoving their ridiculous opinions down her throat" was just one person,
one time, and she knows that person.
She also asked why would anyone be offended if people pray in public.
Well, if I someone were a nudest, would she be offended if they went nude in public?
I see either action as forcing me to see what I do not want to see publicly done.
I see nothing wrong with either practicing nudity or people who think praying is good.
Do your own things but don't flaunt it in public.
She and her non believer friend should simply avoid each other, obviously knowing each detests the others' pov.

Pisces-Sweety,
Next time when someone bothers you or your friends with their religious phobia tell them that non-believers simply do not exist; everyone believes in something, in god, allah, in buddha, in apocaliptic black holes around universe,in unicorns,faeries,satan,in the god of high-heels or nothingness...whatever.
Non-believers do not exist and that is a fact.

Oh really?

You state with an air of self believed absolute authority;
"Non believers do not exist and that is a fact"
Wow!
Believing in provable facts is not the same as believing blindly; ie; no evidence to support those beliefs.
Subscribing to the hypothetical and theory is keeping an open mind to the "what ifs?";
it is not a belief.
Your list clarified:
god, allah, unicorns,faeries,satan,.....
all thought to be fictional.
Cannot prove either way.
Unlike you though, and believers, and yes, even non believer atheists;
I will say:
"I am personally waiting for evidence to prove or disprove them all."
That places me NOT as a believer,
and NOT as an unbeliever;
but a theorists or person requiring logical proof or there is no belief.
Like I said;
I anger both Atheists and believers.
OK to continue with your list:
Whether you see it or knew it or not;
this line:
"the god of high-heels"
is a homophobic jibe.
Not going to explain but I have heard that one before from homophobes.
To continue:
buddha;
(there were many men (called buddha by the way)
seems to have possibly actually existed but questionable as to the mystical unproven by evidence his alleged experiences.
So he and his experiences still land in my bit bucket of not yet proven so not fact, and to be believed until empirical evidence is found.
OK, this:
apocaliptic black holes around (the)universe, (should be spelled apocalyptic)
or nothingness...
Both are theory based on observation;
and seem to be hypothetically/theoretically real, but again;
no empirical evidence;
so no belief.
I upset both Atheists and religious folk often, because I do not believe.

Ah ha,
I suspect you may try to rope me in on having no beliefs.....
Well let's see:
Belief is mainly contingent upon believing in things/concepts/beings/creatures/myths, etc.;
WITHOUT EVER QUESTIONING.

Well I question even "reality"
I question my own reality.
Are we real?
What is real?

A true god would never admit to being all knowing because the moment anyone,
even a supposed god makes such a claim;
they have ended their eternal learning and can no longer grow.
Stasis, stagnation would be the result for such an entity; perhaps in time erasure from existence because they would be taking up space for no purpose.

Rant over.
You may now feel free to mock me and all.

Rant over.

Pisces-Sweety;
if you do not want an argument;
then please do not take geea's advice.
That remark is rude and combative and an opinion, not a truth.
Do not fight.
Just walk away or say something like:
My religion is none of your business.
I don't care what you believe or not;
that is your right; just as it my right to believe in what I believe.

However if you preach it, or ever flaunt it,
then yes it becomes the business of others if you are invading their space forcing them to hear and or see you.
Keep your religion expressions/practices private, or in/at appropriate times and places.

^ That is condescending.

I didn't assume you were against P-S, nor did I say anything of the sort.

But when you took offense even while admitting you were not clear about P-S's meaning, when you failed to give her the benefit of the doubt but instead wrote long messages full of negative emotional signals like bold, italicized letters and unhappy emoticons, you gave the strong impression that you were "fired up" about her complaint.

That reaction struck me as excessive.

It never appeared that way to me. She said the "ridiculous opinions" were that believers were "stupid" and "pathetic."

That is what she was taking issue with, the open insulting of believers. If you weren't insulting believers using terms like that, then she wasn't talking about you.

If you are trying to say that it's unbelievable that any non-believers aside from the one(s) she's come into contact with are as insulting as she has alleged, I just beg to differ. Religious people get insulted right, left, upside-down and backwards.

And it's fine with me that P-S took this opportunity to express frustration with that.

geea, I basically agree we all are believers of something. That is part of what makes us unique.
Through trial and error, evidence seen and unseen we all draw conclusions to believe in.

We believe in God, we don`t believe. No empirical evidence for either belief but we still have an opinionated belief.

I believe my name is __________ because my birth certificate says so. I believe the sun will rise tomorrow. I believe I don`t believe in ....

I got what you`re saying !

Sigh;
again I give up.
I am the big bad meanie unbeliever.
Believers can do or say no wrong.
I don't see any reason to post in this forum because of late all I get is bashed by believers.
My opinions do not matter.
Too many were ready to jump right in when PS posted about her experience and outrage.
In times past and even these days in some places in America;
what she said would have gotten the person, (not person(s) as she falsely first stated)
lynched or worse. And stating that it was horrible people not just one guy;
that was a lie.
If it had been posted by a non believer or
even a believer against a believer; ie; a Catholic vs a Southern Baptist;
I WOULD HAVE WANTED CLARIFICATION OF SUCH ALLEGATIONS BEFORE SIDING WITH EITHER SIDE!
That makes me bad?
PS did lead us on and the facts of her experience were indeed radically different from what she posted originally.
So those who think we should not question her, and ask for clarification of the facts;
would be happy being angry at these multiple horrible people who went at her unprovoked, some perfect strangers. That is how the first post sounded.

They talk as if what they're saying is fact. I know people who make fun of me for believing in god. I also know people who have "lost respect" for me for the same reason. People are free to believe in anything they want, and NO ONE has the right to shove their opinion down someone's throat.
Later she admits it only happened once and it was one person not people, and she knows this horrible person.

Be careful when catering to a lynch mob mentality.
Get the facts before going off half cocked at "people" in this case, not "person" as it really was.
And find out was it just a stupid offhand remark, and did she do anything to provoke him?
Admit it. We do not know PS, nor the guy with the "mouth".
Yes we can agree it is rude to just go up to a person and insult them.
However we do not and still do not know what caused this and all.
I am wasting my time here I think.
Is anyone even bothering to understand?
I doubt it.

PS.
She accuses them of talking like they believe their views are fact.

Well geez louise.....
as a believer she most likely talks of her beliefs as being 100% fact.
I do not buy that believers or total non believers are 100% factual in what they buy into.
People are allowed to buy into what they want.
So she is free to call her beliefs fact;
and they their opinions as fact too.
Wowsers...
Well both cannot be right.....and there are lots of other religions;
so everyone is wrong in each others' views.

Lexx, I am NOT speaking of your intentions . But, as a reader, it appears you took her post personal. Then your word choices, emoticons and capitol letters come across combative.

Again, I`m not saying that is your intention but how you are comming across to me.

To me her post was of a venting nature and some emotional exaggeration to show her frustration with the subject. Nothing to take to heart.

I am sorry you are feeling poorly over this and I don`t believe that was the intention of any poster here.

Who is a believer? Not me!

And you bash MUCH MORE than you are ever bashed. You dish it out in spades, Lexx, but you can't take anything in return.

I hope that's obvious to everyone by now, because I'm tired of people acting like that's NOT what's going on.

That was NOT my intentions.
And yes I am most likely oversensitive more than unusual because I have been very recently more than once, treated rudely and medical care compromised because of the bigotry of believers.
And not simply some jerk I know just being rude.
Then when I see posts such as hers;
intended to stir up pity for her and anger towards her insulter, which did have
the exaggerations I suspected and inference that the opinions of others are ridiculous;
and hers not.....well yeah it upset me.
One jerk insulting her is small potatoes whether she realizes it or not.
No it is not right.
But asking her for the truth of what really happened is no crime.
She in the heat of the moment of her frustration/anger;
she did exaggerate how many people insulted her and did make it sound like a group of perfect strangers just toddled up and started insulting her.
If she had been honest, no exaggeration;
and said a person she knows did it;
and that it was not bashing but a rude remark, no shoving his opinions down her throat;
my reaction would have been totally different.
We all know mouthy jerks.
But her post made me suspect the entire scenario and I was correct in my suspicions.

That was not my intention at all. I just wanted to get to the bottom of it and hear what really happened because it did not sound legit to me.
And as she did finally explain (thank you, seriously thank you JS :bheart and told the truth;
then it made sense but before it sounded off too much.

I understand that now, but it came across as insincere; and it was. I am not making that up.
I do understand frustration.
But the exaggeration was not required for me to have said:
"Wow that stinks. No one has a right to just come up and insult your beliefs."
But the story did not jive with a real scenario and it was not the real scenario was it?

I do not know PS or her religion or age or demographics;
so cannot ascertain her exact intentions with the original post.
It did seem to be over the top and intended to get others angry at the scenario without knowing what the details were.
Sorry but my mind goes all detective on things.
It is not meant to be combative.
If she had tried to have this person prosecuted for assaulting her;
her attorney would have been upset to discover that it was one person she knew and not a group of perfect strangers.
Does ANYONE see my points at all?

If she had said what she posted in her original post, to some very militant/gang like too, religious people in my area;
well,
I am not joking here.
....
but they would have been forming a vengeance group to go do serious damage to the "horrible people" (not just one jerk she knew)
she claimed were being mean to her.

We must be careful with accusations and not even in the heat of the moment exaggerate;
that is partially why there is so much fighting, ill will, and wars.
We must tell the truth.
It is even said:
And wisely so, no matter the source:
quote:
Exodus 20:16
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

So sure, vent when angry, but tell the truth of what happened.

I am most likely not being clear or taken the wrong way again.
Sigh.....

geea,
my apologies for jumping to conclusions about the high heels god.
However your court crack was uncalled for.
I do not see why wanting the truth is wrong, especially in serious matters;
it is very important.

I hope you are enjoying yourself at my expense.
In my opinion you love bashing me.
And have done it yet again.
You originally decided I was the enemy because
I said I did not enjoy fighting and that it was pointless or something to that effect.
I was only stating my feelings not bashing you then.
But you flipped out and decided I was the enemy.
I am still weirded out by your attitude.
Your hatred for me is just creepy, depressing, sad and uncalled for.
Is there any chance we can drop this crap and start over?
I am willing if you are.

Would you mind telling exactly what happened?
Seriously;
I really want to know.
What did he or she do and say exactly that upset you so greatly?
Is this a person you can just avoid?
That might be the best way to handle them.

PS.
Since I have been accused of court like interrogating;
please feel free to ignore my queries.
No hard feelings here.
{{{hugs}}}
I wish you well.

I think the fox is watching the henhouse at DD, that's what I think. Rather than diffusing arguments, you foment them.

If that's not clear to people by now, they haven't been paying attention.

And since you are a mod here, I will not be spending much time here, to avoid tension with you.

You just cannot stop going at me can you?
So again you label me the big bad meanie.
So no truce?
Start over?
I replied kindly to your thread about statutory rape.
I don't know if you did not see my reply or if I am being ignored even when I agree with you.

Ever since that offhand comment I made about not liking fighting;
when you and others were apparently joking about liking fighting;
sorry I did not get the joke.....
you have accused me over and over of causing various kinds of trouble and saying untrue things about me.

Why you do not want a truce just bewilders me.

I stay off most threads here because I know it would not be right for me to post my opinions on them or because I know that no matter how I question anything;
my queries will be seen as fighting.
I hope PS understands that I only wanted to know the real story, and that I do sympathize
with her being rudely spoken to.
I get it a lot.
I did not tease her or laugh at her or call her beliefs stupid.
I was just trying to ascertain exactly what happened.
I do try to avoid you because you do not want to get along ever since blowing waaaay waaaay out of proportion and context;
my offhand and NOT directed at you or anyone in particular; (just my thinking out loud, and posting it)
about not liking fighting.
I just saw the statements and inserted my plain cut and dried opinion.
It was not meant to offend.
I see I goofed by not adding a disclaimer:
"I know you guys are joking about liking fighting, but I just want to say I do not get how it can be fun".......
well maybe that would have torqued you off anyhow.
I just do not get you, and try as I may;
you have cemented in your mind it appears; that I am someone you despise.

That is truly sad and I want to fix it but I have no idea how and you do not seem to want to even try.

I could just hate you as you do me;
but that is pointless and I do not hate you.

I will say it again, no one,
especially someone you know,
who should know better,
has a right to tease you and insult you.
I only wanted to know what really happened because feeling sympathy for you,
which I sincerely do;
did not negate the fact that your original post did not jive with what I suspected really happened.
So does that make me a horrible person for wanting to know what really happened?
You finally confirmed what I basically thought had happened.
Thank you for coming forward with honesty once you calmed down.
I appreciate and respect you for dong that.
Few folks would admit they were speaking in the heat of the moment and exaggerating;
and then later to have the decency to explain what really went down.
Kudos to you again for being brave enough to tell us the real story.

You didn't OFFER me a real truce, Lexx, you hurled more unfounded allegations at me and finished with a "let's be friends" kinda thing. It doesn't work that way.

I find you outright deceitful and emotionally manipulative in the extreme, and it's beyond my power to affect your habits, so I will just try and stay off your radar screen.

Though I feel bad for new members who wander in here and find themselves in your crosshairs. I really hate to leave them undefended.
