The REAL Golden Rule

  1. ME—> "There’s no place like rationality”.

YOUR REPLY—> “WTF are you talking about “rationality?” Are you actually so delusional as to assume anything you have said about Christianity or their Freedom of Speech is RATIONAL?”

MY REPLY—> What are you talking about? You don’t provide any evidence to back up this unwarranted insult. If YOU were rational, you would understand that you are neglecting to provide a rational argument to justify this false assertion. I have an Honours degree in Philosophy and I am well versed in both Formal and Informal logic. Please don’t resort to ad hominems to try to sway or impress your readers. It serves only to reveal your inability to argue rationally.

  1. ME—> “I love to promote atheism.”

YOUR REPLY—> “You are not promoting Atheism. You are hating religion.”

MY REPLY—> Ha ha… Yes! I’m “guilty” of BOTH. I DO promote atheism (i.e., rationality and humanism) and i DO hate religion (i.e., irrationality and intolerance). So should every good atheist.

  1. ME—> “I loathe religion and I am an avid antitheist.”

YOUR REPLY—> “It’s apparent from all you have said, it is not just religion but the Christians themselves you ‘loathe.’ (Take away their freedom of speech.)”

MY REPLY—> I have made it abundantly clear that I loathe religion. I loathe religion as much as it loathes atheism. The big difference is that we atheists didn’t pick the fight, did we? We atheists didn’t burn theists alive and torture them for EIGHT CENTURIES, did we? And we atheists don’t have a “religion” or a “doctrine” that we impose on others, do we? But religion is very busy pushing its beliefs and its agenda on everyone in every society, isn’t it? They want prayer and creationism in our schools. They want a woman’s right to choose to abort to be illegal. They want their religion to be intertwined into society and the rule of law. That’s called a “theocracy”—and if you want to live in the Middle East, you’re free to leave.

Much as I loathe the harm that religion inflicts upon society, you are grossly mistaken that I want to suppress the freedom of speech of religion. Au contraire! I ENCOURAGE religion to scream its message of intolerance from the rooftops, for all to hear! If only more people were made aware of its blatant contempt for human beings and its disregard for human rights—the sooner atheism and humanism would finally be embraced.
