Why would that be less offensive than a kid slipping their Kosher cousin a piece of bacon? [/quote]

I’ve heard atheist ppl say atheism isn’t a religion; it’s simply no belief in God or gods. But you are comparing the two?

Is belief in God superior to not believe in God? For respect to be received, it must be given, no? [/quote]

But I’ve been told numerous times here atheism is nothing but a disbelief in God or gods. Santa is not a god. [/quote]

DP. Parents make all sorts of decisions about their kids that have nothing to do with religion. Or, even within one particular religion, parents will have different “rules” for their family.

Intentionally going against parents’ wishes behind their back is disrespectful. Period.

This was a lame attempt to antagonize atheists. ‘Tis the season?

No, a poster is comparing giving a kosher Jewish child bacon w/o parental knowledge to giving a grandchild a Christmas gift after his atheist parents do not give consent.

Atheism is a religion w/o a god.[/quote]

It's not.

And PP was comparing two instances of going against parents' wishes. It has nothing to do with religion.

Breaking kosher is breaking religious rules. Specifically. [/quote]

But they are religious rules that parents choose to follow. Religious rules aren’t superior to any other rules. [/quote]

Even atheists have their rules, apparently.[/quote]

There are no “atheist rules”.  Just individual families making their own decisions. Just like everyone else. 
[/quote]

Then why did pp compare this situation to kosher rules? That’s not parents or families randomly deciding to not eat certain foods; it’s a religious thing.

[/quote]

The rationale behind the family rules isn’t the point here. It’s the blatant disregard for the family’s rules.

Atheism isn’t a religion. There aren’t “atheist rules”. There isn’t a parallel there no matter how much you want to force one in your attempt to antagonize others.

“Why would that be less offensive than slipping their Kosher cousin a piece of bacon?”

Pp compared religious rules and their importance in the life of a family to an atheist not allowing his young child a small Christmas gift.

To pp, it’s comparable.[/quote]

No, the point was it’s offensive to go against family’s rules - regardless of reasons behind it. Religious or not.

Atheism isn’t a religion. No matter how you try to jerk it out of PP’s comment.
