Westboro Baptist Church The Butt Of Hilarious Thanksgiving Prank

35. Maybe being mystified is the same sort of thing religious people feel.

When you have evidence that their god or gods are imaginary, let me know. Lack of evidence is not evidence, something I think you know.

It could be that refusing to acknowledge the good things people do because of their beliefs is the real demonstration of lack of respect for them as humans. It is nothing but arrogant to take the position that you are somehow superior because you do things for one reason and they do it for another.

Your mocking use of terms like "six-foot invisible rabbit" and saying that people are not in control of their own lives makes it crystal clear that your need to feel superior is far more important than actually taking people for who they are and giving them credit for their good deeds, no matter what the motivation. The pretzel that you have to twist yourself into in order to maintain that feeling of superiority would be funny if it were not sad.

Oh, but you are so reasoned and rational in your rejection of beliefs, and oh so superior.

I hope for you that you will someday get to the point where you are able to see that you are just like everyone else. You have your foibles, your beliefs, your good points, your weakness. You are not better because you don't believe in a six foot invisible rabbit. I hope that others will judge you by your deeds, not your beliefs or lack of beliefs.
