It is my right to say that the entire concept of Christianity is a fairy tale. That's what I believe. If that's insulting to you - and "hateful" - then you have personal problems this board cannot fix for you.
Just like many Christians believe that women should be subservient to men, that women are all evil, that Christian men should be allowed to tell me what to do with my uterus. I find that disgusting, but I don't feel personally insulted or hated as a woman - I feel sorry for those who think that only people ( and deities ) with testicles matter. That's their choice.
It's my right to say that male-centric religions are human constructs that were designed to keep certain people powerful while denigrating everyone else. You are free to believe in Christianity despite what I say, and even if I feel sorry for you, I don't hate you and my aim is only to express my opinion, not insult.
If you want to be coddled and treated like a Special Snowflake, you are on the wrong board.
Now I am aware that this is a Group and I am not here to change anyone's beliefs. But if you're going outside this group, have a thick skin and don't get yourself wound up by anonymous messages on the internet.
P.S. I always thought one of the attributes a Christian was supposed to have was the understanding that you would be insulted for your faith... is that not in your bible any more? I was raised in the evil Episcopalian church, but Christianity seems to be morphing faster than I can keep up 
I am adding to this post to say that I followed the link from the "latest" page and did not intend to intrude on this place where you all feel safe. I should have looked more closely at where I was going as I believed it was a link to GD.
( This happened to me once before and I was stunned to have accidentally stumbled into the Men's Group. I felt the same way I did on those occasions IRL when I walked into a Men's Restroom by mistake 
....and I quickly extricated meself... 
I hang out in ASAH...the beliefs of many there are mocked and ridiculed in the main forums. I don't let it change how I feel about DU. I don't get upset if another poster mocks some belief I hold dear. It's a great big old world with as many opinions as eyelashes.
You ARE welcome here no matter what your faith; you WILL be challenged here on your beliefs. There is nothing wrong with that.
