[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s see – it’s OK for a Catholic priest to turn way an Episcopalian at the communion rail, because it’s against the rules of the church to serve someone from another Christian faith. We may not agree, but we respect the Catholics’ right to follow their beliefs and exercise their freedom of religion.

It’s OK for a southern Baptist to tell a gay family member that they are going to hell because the Baptists believe homosexuality is a sin.  We may not agree, but we respect the Baptists’ right to follow their beliefs and exercise their freedom of religion.

It’s OK for certain Muslims to require women to cover their heads because they believe women should be subservient.  We may not agree, but we respect the Muslims’ right to follow their beliefs and exercise their freedom of religion.

It’s not OK for atheists to make a factual statement about religion on an anonymous internet message board, because it might offend some religious people.  Even if we agree with the statement, we do not respect the atheists’ right to state facts and to exercise their freedom of religion.

You just need to feel victimized, don't you.[/quote]

Not pp, but that there is some cognitive dissonance, when religious people in the US claim persecution, despite being an overwhelming majority, and would least likely elect an atheist leader. Whether atheists in the US are victims are "victims" may be debatable, but people of faith are absolutely not, despite accusations of being "attacked." If your faith is so fragile that you can't handle some harmless discussion on the internet, perhaps you need to do some self reflection.[/quote]
