Description So there I was, minding my own business, trying to hold to the pledge to keep political discourse to a minimum for a while, when out of the blue I receive a comment from a woman who was, um… unhappy is how I’ll put it. She was unhappy, and being… oh, how shall I put this… difficult. Yes, that is the most polite way to say it; she was being a difficult woman, who was unhappy at me. She was unhappy and felt the need to be difficult because of comments I made two months ago on someone else’s page, where I showed my support for the page owner’s posting of a pro-Christmas picture. A pro-Christmas picture in December, it seems, made this difficult woman unhappy, and she felt the need to let me know about it. While doing so she did what liberals usually do, which is to assume they know Christianity better than Christians do, accuse me of having the negative qualities that she herself was displaying, deny that America was founded on Christian principles, etc. There was nothing new in her outrage that my support of Christmas caused in her, and I considered showing her comment the attention it deserved by not responding, but one particular word she used got me thinking…

Theist. Why is it, I wondered, that she was using that term while discussing a Christian holiday, on a posting made by a Christian, and while talking to a Christian? Seems that an awful lot of people who become outraged by things like Christmas, the Ten Commandments, the Pledge of Allegiance, roadside crosses to mark fatal crash sites, and so on, rant about theists. Why do they do that, when they are clearly angered at displays of Christianity? Why not just come out and say they hate the religion that has sparked their outrage and disgust? Why not have the guts to just come out and say it? When I’m talking about 9/11, I don’t blame “theists” for the terrorist attack, after all.

It is also worth noting that when called on it, these people will say that they hate all people of faith (and state it like they deserve a medal for doing so). Really? That is not, in my experience, the case. “Theist” haters will come up with pictures of lions eating Christians and say they are funny, but where are the “funny” pictures of Jews being gassed and thrown into Nazi ovens, or Buddhist monks on fire? They’ll draw every blasphemous depiction of Christ they can imagine, but where are the allegedly humorous cartoons of Anne Frank being murdered, or Muslim women being stoned to death, or Tibetan Buddhist nuns being raped? If they actually do hate all theists, then shouldn’t these things be just as amusing to them as the crucifixion of Jesus?

So I made a stamp. Not a very special stamp, but there you go. We all suffer from selective outrage, I suppose, and this deviation is about that: in this case, the hatred liberals have for Christianity over all other religions, and their bizarre (cowardly?) penchant for denying it. I’ll preemptively say that fine, not all liberals hate Jesus, that some enlightened people really do despise all forms of faith, and so on. I’m not seeking confrontation in posting this, but as it was spawned from a confrontation caused by my defense of my faith, I suppose I should expect some. Again, .

If anybody actually wants to use this stamp, please do, but also tell me so I can give you a .

But in order for him to stop, he would need to start attacking them, something he has not done. Please, run a check on the logic of an argument before posting it, it'll do you well in the long run.

Not really, whenever I see an atheist, In the back of my head I'm always thinking about how smart he/she is.

         I don't get the stereotype that atheists are always angry and want to debate all the time.
       The stereotype I personally think of is that atheists are all geniuses. I know it isn't true, but it still comes to my head.

       Its true, people are bad and good. 
But there are people who try to be good, try to be nice, an kind.
Those people make mistakes too, but at least they try to be nice.
 
 Those people can be atheist, theist.  
       Its just that theists tend to believe they are superior, even though we are all humans.

Maybe if you only looked at the stamp itself rather than reading the description. No offense, but your logic contains a few vital fallacies.

You essentially said "All Athiests hate religion" which is FAR from the truth. Some do, and those are antitheists. Most simply don't care, though, meaning you disregarded them.

I'm curious; Given from your tagline, grammar, capitalization, and -dare I say it- anatomy in art, you give the impression of someone in elementary school. Is that true?

Then why do you not capitalize anything? Why do you have "cool is my middle name" as your tagline? And why is a 15 year old such as me needing to explain your own logical fallacies to you? You should already have this sort of thing figured out.

COPPA is a real thing, it prevents peoplel under 13 from possessing profiles on sites such as these. If you're underaged, that alone is grounds for an instant ban. If your age is incorrect on the site, more grounds for a ban. But you knew this already, right?
