It's a bit of a bear pit at times, but it's atheist, and it's one of the few 'general' forums where sexist/ableist language is firmly slapped down. Plenty of auties, LBGTQ people there and great fun when an issue really takes off (like elevatorgate). We regard trolls as chew toys, perfect for keeping our teeth sniny, the insult of choice is 'cupcake' (strange how in my mind that has become a pejorative) and MRAs get...well, you might not want to know at this stage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147438406266555027.post-30323835248846323972011-09-07T18:37:26.088-07:002011-09-07T18:37:26.088-07:00Hmmm, I guess for me it all depends on the intent....Hmmm, I guess for me it all depends on the intent. If people are being sanctimonious and holier-than-thou, praying that I'll stop being autistic/gay/whatever, that's one thing. But I'm honestly not offended by religious invocation per se. I know many people find comfort in their religious beliefs; who am I to say that it doesn't help or make a difference in their lives? Quite frankly, it would be nice if all would just live and let live.outoutouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13633335543968688627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147438406266555027.post-53452340781571694262011-08-18T13:32:47.697-07:002011-08-18T13:32:47.697-07:00What I find hardest is that every time I'm hav...What I find hardest is that every time I'm having flashbacks in public (I'm autistic and have PTSD), someone always tries to give me a reassuring talk about Jesus's love. This is especially a big problem because some of the people who abused me were Christian, and abused me in a particularly Christian way (they thought acting autistic would send me to Hell). And I feel like those people are trying to take advantage of someone they see as being in a vulnerable emotional state, and less able to make an informed decision about religion. And when I tell them I don't want them to talk about religion with me, they don't shut up!Ettinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230821659466586897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147438406266555027.post-47103811446989218602011-07-21T00:11:55.274-07:002011-07-21T00:11:55.274-07:00I'm a polytheist and yes, it's terrible fo...I'm a polytheist and yes, it's terrible for me too that minorities don't have much support without Jesus talk, I use prayer very rarely but it's really different than christian prayer and it doesn't have the same effect of it.<br />I wish more secular groups existed in my country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
