That's no reason why you should have this compulsive & obsessive need to barge in and blurt out your often repeated scorn and malice.......every time someone talks of Jesus or faith. Normal respect for others will not come amiss. You should try it!
Sorry and not sorry apologies for breaking in on your exchange, but I felt that I couldn't let go the part of your post where you have said about, "normal respect for others will not come amiss".
Having respect for others that have a half blue elephant half man and they think this kind of thing is a god worthy of worship that's no better than someone that believes in someone that they think has come back from the dead, both beliefs preposterous and you want respect for these beliefs and having these beliefs?
It's not like the two things about religions I have referred to above are on their own, there are many more equally preposterous things contained within these beliefs.
It's a very tall order for me to have any respect for any of those beliefs, I don't have any respect for them, so really it's not surprising the people like us that you refer to as atheists hand out a fair bit of stick to people like you and in your case Sriram you really believe in these rather daft to me ideas and you even have some kind of superiority complex about yourself, it's your own fault, you turn yourself into such an obvious target.
It also makes me wonder why you're so surprised when you get some stick, this time from Shaker.
