161. I did not call you crazy.
I called the idea of theism crazy. If you choose to identify with an idea that I believe is crazy, you have that right. But you do not have the right to make me change my belief or to shut me up.

It is not being an atheist that give me my rights. It is the Constitution of the United States of America that gives me the right to free speech. If you find it rude, you are welcome not to participate in these conversations. But I am not obliged to make my speech conform to your standards. That's why they call it free speech.

And again, I am not going to respect the beliefs of others. I do not respect fascism. I do not respect racism. And I do not respect theism. Some beliefs are just not respectable.
