“Do you really expect people to respect your point of view or your being gay?”
Yeah, why not?
“Dismissing religious beliefs as "mythology" only means you don't have any respect for the point of view of others.”
Well, that’s MY point of view, that all religions are myths. Don’t get me wrong, i took the oath to defend, to my death, your right to HAVE your religion, but also the rights of everyone to have THEIR religions; Satanists, Mormons, Catholics, Baptists, Westboro Goat Fuckers, Norse, Voodoo, Cargo Cult, The Aphrodite School of Belly Dancing And Virgin Sacrifice, Southern Baptist, and so on. But Idon’t respect your POV any more than you respect my son being gay.
“You really have no facts that God does or does not exist.”
No, i really don’t.
But I have yet to come across an argument for any god that i find compelling.
“I have faith and therefore in my heart I know he does exist.”
Okay… Good for you. This affects me….how?
“Its convenient for you to dismiss him that way you can live whatever perverted lifestyle you choose. No God = no rules.”
This is not even remotely true. I don’t believe any of the 613 commandments in the Bible come from God. To me, you and I both live by the rules put out by men.
And as far as perverted, I’ve never cheated on my wife, including the three years we dated before marriage AND any of the foreign ports I’ve pulled into. I don’t do drugs except as prescribed. I don’t drink alcohol unless it’s cooking wine in the sauce. I have never smoked anything.
You have this cartoon image of atheists living a life that’d make a Tex Avery wolf blush, but that’s just you being a bigot. Or jealous, maybe, I’m not sure.
