Half the Bible has been sorely misinterpreted, anyway (IMO). By the way Kastere, for a Catholic you seem surprisingly comfortable in a forum full of people discussing what they would do to each other homosexually. Or are you an atheist Catholic like Dara O' Brian?

I don't know who that is, and I have absolutely nothing against anyone on this forum or gays in general.

I have to say that hearing religious people use the word "values" irritates me to no end. Do they think that they want something different from the rest of us? Do they think that our lack of belief in an invisible creature who defies all logic makes us incapable of understanding ethics, or living ethical lives? Because if I were to compare the percentages of ethical/non-ethical atheists that I know vs. the ethical/non-ethical religious folks that I know, well.....the atheists win in a fucking landslide. The reason for this is obvious. The more you tell someone that they shouldn't do something, the more they want to do it (see me posting in Splat's threads). And since religion tells us that damn near everything that is not intended as praise to your lord is wasteful and wrong, it blurs the lines of wrong and right.
In conclusion: We all want the same things. Life, love, and peace. The sooner that the religious realize that this is all that the non-religious want, the happier we will all be. I mean, seriously. We are not trying to take your traditions from you (which by the way, is what you mean by values). We aren't going to eat your children, or convert them to Satan. Just let us live our lives.

Did I say that I thought you were going to do any of those things? No?
You're irritated with my use of the word Values? What? I'm sorry if it hasn't become apparent at this point, and the fact that I've never said anything negative about atheism probably supports this, but I'm a pretty open minded person. Hell, saying 'open minded' sounds wrong. I have nothing against any one race or belief system for any reason whatsoever. So when you turn my irritation with Sekto Springs into a hissy fit about Religious people persecuting Atheists, it makes me think that you're either trolling or honestly believe that every religious person is as batshit insane as you seem to be.
