(135,425 posts)And tell me, what kind of "victim" am I, hmmmm?
Go on--put me in a box. Do try.
So "and" is inclusive, really? As in "Agnostics AND Any Less Important Others Who Claim To Not Be A Believer." Feel welcomed? Included? Validated?
I can't help you if you lack skill with language, the meaning of words, and European history. The comparison to ghettos is an entirely valid metaphor. I won't even go into the rather obvious irony that, if atheism is not a religion, why would atheists even want to post in a group entitled "RELIGION?" Perhaps the new group ought to be one that has a name that includes those atheists in the mix? Truth in advertising, and all that?
If your feelings aren't hurt, why are you behaving in such a "hissy" fashion and rambling on about "victims" and "inferiority complexes" when you don't even know my personal perspective on issues of this sort? Look at your words! You're frothing at the mouth and flinging it with abandon. I haven't said anything false, so there's nothing to toss into the dumpster. My understanding is not lame--it's simply that you don't like it so that is how you characterize it.
I believe in fair play, and I don't see it in this forum. I do think the religious people deserve an ecumenical safe-haven meeting place that isn't Christian-centric. That seems to piss you off (Waaah, complain to the admins, like it or lump it! You have "transparent fallacies!!!" --why, I don't know. I should think you'd support something like that if you were a reasonable person--but it might take a few targets off the old range, and ruin the fun...?
