(3,433 posts)How hard is it to actually comprehend what you read? Is it so terribly difficult to take a deep breath and read something without allowing emotionalism to blind you to the words displayed on your screen? I clearly stated fundamentalist Christians and belligerent atheists. The last time I checked there were no Christians who flew planes into buildings nor are Christians beheading anyone. And yes, I'm well aware of the actions of Christians hundreds of years ago. I'm aware of the rape and pillage of Vikings. I'm aware of the enslavement of others by Roman pagans, Egyptian Pagans, Greek Pagans etc etc. I'm aware of native American tribes slaughtering each other. I'm well aware of the use of religion as justification for brutality and violence.

Again... Christian fundies and Belligerent Atheists. I will concede that I should not have used tremendous. You were correct to point out that atheists are not seeking to prevent people from having reproductive freedom. What I was considering was the "shaming" behavior of the two groups I mentioned. Both consider themselves morally superior and maintain a black and white/absolutist thinking mentality.
