Reply #105: I haven't much persecution of atheists on DU either.

[Evoman]

But neither has there been any persecution of Christians. I frankly can't see why people feed the need to start these whiny type of threads. Because one or two posts offend you? Thats not a trend. There is no persecution of christians here. We laugh at a picture of Jesus doing the YMCA, and that offends so much you have to start a new thread? Give me a break. I have seen three or four threads where people have argued that we should actually PURGE atheists from the dem party...and frankly, it made me a little sick. I almost left after reading some of those threads. But I never started a whiny thread demanding people stop offending me.

Any single post on DU about abrasive atheists can be turned right back on Christians. Its the same shit...its just people can't see their own shit. Take this post, for example...I bet you there will be any number of Christians who will agree with you, and blame Atheists for "being offensive". And then in the next breath they will tell you that "atheists are angry" or "atheists have no morality" or that "atheists should keep quite, so they don't scare away christian voters", etc. BMUS used to post things in her signature that DU "LIBERAL" Christians have said about Atheists....and they are terrible.

But do you see me starting a post whining about how we are treated? No.

So enough with the whining. It offends me.
