What is with (some) Atheists and their continuing hatred and mockery of religion? Yes you dont believe or no longer have a belief in God. That's entirely YOUR decision. Each to their own.
Don't they have anything (productive) to discuss other than making a fun of religious figures, their followers and their beliefs!. I am getting tired of this apparent superiority of theirs where they feel that we dont have the mental capability to think and reason for ourselve as we are dumb enough to believe and follow a thousand year old book and ' a God that cant possibly exist' so it's ok to make fun of your beliefs and your prophets to entertain ourselves!
 
I try not to give attention-seekers what they're looking for.
 
Please someone stomp these atheists and annihilate them once and forever.

And you feel no burning hatred towards a blasphemous image of Jesus drinking wine? Your claims to love Jesus eludes me if you feel nothing in your heart over this.

This wasn't an act of freedom of expression when those athiests were well aware that anything of such nature would cause offence.

hmm yeah its easier said that done though. I suppose its a bit easier to ignore when its personal comments about your appearance or making ignorant comments about the islamic laws but its hard when they make those offensive and hurtful images and comments about the prophets (peace be upon them).

Per the example of Jesus, I don't feel inclined to "stomp" or "annihilate once and forever" people who offend me. Sorry to disappoint you by not sharing in feeling murderous outrage...there are far more constructive ways to deal with such situations than calling for the elimination of a group of people.

You'll learn.

I didn't say it wasn't offensive or hurtful. People do things like this to get a reaction. Give them a reaction and they'll do it again to provoke an even stronger reaction, because they derive pleasure from it.

I agree, if that is what is happening. I'm not so sure it is though. The cartoon itself is not written for muslims, but for atheists and liberal religious people. It explores different aspects of religion with humour. It isn't hateful and doesn't endorse violence. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that in itself.

And if you think that people should walk on eggshells to avoid offending the sensibilities of these religions then maybe you should consider the fact that people have been told for centuries that they deserve to burn in hell, or worse, simply for not holding the beliefs of these religions.

Nowhere in the cartoon complained of is there any sentiment anywhere near as violent and hateful as this.
 
:sl:

I have a couple of friends who are atheists and we get along well enough, as long as we don't talk about religion.

Either way, it's best to ignore it.

If those people don't believe it, it's best for them to ignore it too.

Life's too short, choose your battles, and variety of other cliches apply.

On the other hand, if you have people in prominent positions espousing offensive views, or worse, people you know doing the same, it's better to assert yourself (asserting yourself doesn't necessarily mean being offensive in retaliation).

But a mouthy bugger on the street? Silly students you don't know? Not worth the effort.

Sorry, correction.

I'd use the "Dislike" button for SOME posts in this thread. Not for the whole thread.

Ah, that's too much effort for me, sister. Just one and done it, man. ;D
 
I don't get offended what they did because I know these people are ignorant. They must have a very very sad life if they have fun hurting other people. It doesn't upset because I know people like that will eventually get what they deserve.

I hate them as much as they hate my religion, what part of it you do not get? After all, dont many atheists proclaim that they hate Islam, not Muslims? Well, they should then be ready for the pay back.

Violent? lol, I've committed no violence. I do however wish that mother nature eliminate their genotype.
