Intolerant?

By bk | March 16, 2008 17:32

This post has seen a few responses, more than I thought it would since it really just links to people funnier and smarter than i am. Yet, I feel the comments need to be addressed.

The first comment I’m convinced is a satire. ‘Nuff said.

The second is more interesting. The implication that atheists are tolerant is on one hand correct, and on another completely in left field (or is it right field, I can never do sports metaphors).

It seems that all non-theists tend to be rather tolerant since there is no ‘holy directive’ to discriminate. We tend to be OK with anyone who follows a good set of logic, thoughtfulness or biology to a reasonable conclusion (i.e. one that does not end in the supernatural). What we’re not tolerant of is appeals to emotion, spirituality, or anything based outside of rational thought. And this includes religion, creationism, the idea the earth is flat, and so many other things.

If you want someone really tolerant, find a pacifist (that’s as close as I can come). If you want someone thoughtful, find an atheist.

So, no, this site is not as bad as godhatesfags - there is no relation. The folks as Westboro Baptist hate something because a book possibly suggests they should, this site dislikes things that don’t make sense and cause people do things that don’t make sense and hurt others. fax guaranteed loan no paydayno fax payday loan missouricheap loan payday,cheap loan long payday termonline payday loan applicationno teletrack payday loan,1000 loan no payday teletrack,check loan no payday teletrackpayday loan 1000info loan message payday post100 loan online paydayfax loan no payday required,fax loan payday,fax loan no payday tillloan payday say until wordpress,loan payday until,loan until paydayemergency loan paydayadvance america cash advance,advance advance america cash,advance america cashcash advance loanpoker roomjugar poker gratiscrack rebel pokertexas holdem,texas holdem estrategia,reglamento poker texas holdemjugar poker en lineadescargar juego de pokercasino pokerdescargar juegos de poker gratispai gow poker portalpoker portal internetreglas pokerjuego poker on linestip poker gratisjuegos de poker gratuitosforo poquerpolly poquerjugar poker en internetstrip poker gratisjuego cartasjuegos de poker eroticosstrip poquerpoker de dadosjuego de cartas poker,cartas poker,poker con cartaspoker pagina webjugar poker onlinejugar poker internetjuego al instante portales interneteuropean pokerinformatica pokertorneos de pokerjuegos de polli pokerjuego al instante portales webno deposit bonus poker,party poker bonus,poker bonusel juego de pokerholdem poker reglaspoker online singanar dinero real portales internet

  1. You forgot one more explanation to the “lovely” comments:

    relatively reasonable people + anonymity of the internet = rude assholes
