Right, they’re not a problem for me. We could get along all day but I’m a problem to them as a gay atheist.
E: I’d really like to know why the downvotes. I’ve literally been discriminated against for one or the other by religious people alike for the exact same reasons regardless of creed. I’m not just gonna forget that to sing along to kumbaya and pretend the world is rosy.
I feel this. I’ve met a few exceptions (including my sister, who is wonderful and my best friend), but much of the time I can only get along with religious people until they find out I’m queer. It’s pretty uncommon, at least where I live, to meet a religious person who’d even want to be friends with me, knowing that.
Right! Like the moderator up top said don’t criticize people for their beliefs. Are you fucking kidding me?! So their belief that you should be killed is OK?
