So maybe you do believe in a dictionary, but maybe you just can't read.
First of all, your god to me is equal to Santa Clause. I think you need to understand that before you start lying on the boards that I've insulted you personally. You may have been insulted by
what I said, but that's not me insulting you. You should get those two things straight before you go any further.
So if I say "God is a clem" or "the lord is monkey feces," while it may offend you, I don't believe in either of those two people, so they don't exist to me. If I insulted anyone personally, it's god, but since I know she won't do anything about it, I don't mind offending her.
All that aside, it's the same as if I said "Halo 3 is the best game ever." Just because you don't agree with me, does not mean you don't tolerate me. I may not agree with anything you say, but I've done nothing but tolerate you since you justified your homophobia by trying to change its definition (where, FYI, my comment comes from - feel free to click the arrow to refresh your memory)

The definition you provided is one of considerably false etymological relevance, and I don't see how anyone came to the conclusion that it means that. |
I'm sorry you get bent out of shape because anyone could think your belief system is based on smoke and mirrors, but you need to get over it, because tons of people think that. (
Intelligent people 'less likely to believe in God' - Telegraph) You can't start crying just because they don't agree with your ideology. If I thought Christians would be
horrible parents that doesn't mean that I'd try to stop them from being parents.
That's tolerance. Tolerance isn't trying to stop a group from raising children, it's allowing everyone to raise children. I think White Supremacists (where this started) should be just as allowed to raise children, and they do, but they can't be sending them to public school with Swastikas.
If you think for a second that an atheist living in "one nation under one god" could be anything
other than tolerant, you clearly don't know the definition of the word.
However, this thread is great proof that when the media stereotypes the "Gamer" they are horrible wrong, because we're all different as ****.
