Attacking religious groups is perfectly fine, not bigoted and not comparable to bashing based on race, gender or sexual orientation. That's because religion is a chosen trait that one decides for themselves, unlike the other traits. Its more comparable to bashing and attacking members of a political party.

Um, no?

Um, yes? One can not change their race or sexual orientation. One can change their religion and political party.

So unless someone makes that conscious effort to change their religion to one you don't disapprove of, it's okay to disparage their faith. Got it.

By that standard, since some peoples' sexual orientation change, just like some peoples' religious convictions change, gay bashing is completely okay, too.

I see plenty of people ragging on Islam, Catholicism and Mormonism on this site.

Mormonism?

I've seen the first two but not Mormonism. People are surprisingly respectful of it, given some of the church's social stances. Ir maybe I'm just hanging out on the wrong boards Tongue

I openly ridicule all religions and denominations except Judaism, Islam, and nihilist Christianity.

All religions deserve criticism, though.

You'll cut your Fedora on that edge.

How is that statement edgy? Surely everything in life deserves at least some criticism...

That interpretation would make what he said completely meaningless.

Enough implication of secular people being neckbeards. It's a small minority of the agnostic/atheist/deist/pantheist population.

People who make edgy comments like that are. And Deists/Pantheists? All 5 of them are surely neckbeards.
