323. Exactly, if you don't want to be told that your beliefs are irrational then simply...
...don't fucking mention them in every fucking sentence.

No idea is above scrutiny and no belief is sacred. The biggest scam of religion has been to convince the masses that religious ideas somehow automatically deserve respect simply because some people really want them to be true.

I don't have to to respect your beliefs. The most you can ask of me is that I not gut you like a pig and hang you from the city square for holding them; that I do not prevent you from practicing them (as long as they don't interfere with my life) and that I do not keep you from speaking about them.


"People who don't like their beliefs being laughed at shouldn't have such funny beliefs."
In other words: grow the fuck up!
