@jeffowski @niavy I'm honestly curious. @niavy and I have not once insulted you, or anyone else for that matter. We've expressed our opinions and beliefs in a very respectful, and even somewhat comical manner. Think about it, other than bias, what possible reason could you really have to vex any of us? Your bad experience with other people that belong to one religion or another? I've nothing against you, really, and you have no reason to have anything against us, since you don't know us.
@jeffowski @niavy how is this different to how racists and homophobics behave?
@linuxjj @niavy @goinfawr --
It's very different because of Karl Popper's Paradox of Tolerance.
I want EVERYONE to do well. Not just Christians and not just Atheists. But if you look at the Paradox of Tolerance, it contradicts directly any religion that prefers one group of people over others (chosen ones). Christians here in the US vote to persecute LGBTQ people. Even if you're not voting with them, you are going to church with them. You still side with them. You still tithe to them.

Again, claiming to be Christian (but not the "bad" ones) is like waving a Tennessee Battle Flag (Confederate Flag) and claim it is southern heritage and not racism.
I see very little of the "good christians" doing anything substantive about the "bad christians" while continuing to do all the destructive things but still claiming to be one of the "good christians."
Sorry, not sorry. Every actual "Good Christian" sees this and becomes an Agnostic/Atheist.
@jeffowski @niavy @goinfawr let's get this out of the way: good Christians don't exist. Different types of Christians? Absolutely. I never claimed to be good. I'm full of flaws. Do I visit the same temples? Evidently. Do I follow everything they say (leadership or otherwise)? Nope. I'm considered a revel among my congregation, because if I disagree with something, I just won't do it, period. Again man, I've nothing against you, and all you have against me is that I'm a christian.
@jeffowski @niavy @goinfawr when was the last time you went to church?
@jeffowski @niavy @goinfawr and while I'm not welcome at your table, everyone is welcome at mine (except maybe Putin, but only because I heard he's very picky about food).
