A couple of days ago I had a conversation with some devout believers. As this conversation got really heated I wanted to wait and reflect what was said before I was going to share my views on the matter.
As many of you already know I am a atheist. I don’t believe in divine creatures or religious believes. When I was talking to a Muslim, in this conversation I said “ALL RELIGIONS ARE STUPID”. And I instantly got bombed with the “YOU’RE A RACIST” bullshit. Well here comes my logic. And law and behold the Muslim was silent after my reasoning.
I believe there is a distinct difference between Islam (the religion) and a Muslim (the people who follow Islam). The same applies to Christianity and a Christian, Judaism and a Jew, and so on. I feel I can say a Religion stinks as I assault a idea therefore racism does not apply. There is a difference when I would say I hate Christians.
So what I am saying is the concept of a religion in what shape or form should not exist in our world. A world where everyone lives next to each other and we all need to respect the person. But why should I not be able to say religion X sucks? Anyone can say my thoughts on a specific subject suck.
So to all religious people out and about. I respect you – I don’t respect your religious believes!
