Reply #70: Well Ando... What Gives You The Right To Make Such Demands?

Perhaps for you (and other Christians,) these words do not accurately describe them... for YOU. But they do accurately describe it (or any religion) for me.

So what makes you and your religion so special that you get to prohibit me from using perfectly legitimate words? Are you better than I am?

I have little doubt that if "doctrine" and "ritual" were to be adopted, that many delicate sorts would object to these words as well.

As it stands right now, lacking the ability to PROHIBIT the use of these words, many overwrought Christians have taken to the absurd tactic of labeling the words as "hate speech" and those who use them as "haters". :eyes:

Sure you could say whatever you please... but that would indicate that you don't know what the word "atheist" actually means. But, yes... you could say that. I wouldn't stop you.
