Protected classes. How do they work?

You like having protected classes, as long as the protection does not apply to christians?

Somehow this thread got derailed from muslims killing atheist to Christians and discrimination.

Muslims are not going to put up with atheist pushing their GOD hating agendas.

The protected class we have are protected due to Christanities bigotry in the first place. We wouldnt have to protect them if it wasnt for Christians or even Muslims in this case.

Which protected classes are the vast majority of "bigoted" Christians against?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_class

Protected class


In United States Federal anti-discrimination law, a protected class is a characteristic of a person which cannot be targeted for discrimination.[1] The following characteristics are considered "Protected Classes" by Federal law:
Individual states can and do create other protected classes, which are protected under that state's law.

Because you force your will upon others.

Not content to let others live their life, you want to remove GOD from our society.

An atheist is a person who lacks belief in gods, not what you said. A lot of atheists don't particularly care if other people want to be religious and don't necessarily even mind its influence in society.

No, some people actually understand that you can have psychiatric conditions without being on drugs.

You have no evidence that it exists, period. There is no more reason to believe that than Santa. It is amazing that grownups believe that if they wish something hard enough that it will magically become true.

When a single piece of evidence exists to support ANY religion, feel free to let us know. We've only been waiting thousands of years...

I'm sorry that you believe in fantasy... some of us prefer to live in reality.

No, what's disturbing is how you and Cerpin Taxt are obsessed with what happened to the "children", "infants", and "babies" because you well know that will invoke an emotional response from your audience.

You're not going to find many persons willing to defend the killings of children, babies, infants as regards to the Bible (even if they WANT to) and you both are well-aware of that, so your frequent and liberal reference to "children" thus becomes a thought-terminating cliche'. 🙄

No. It's because there's no fucking way Children or Babies are Evil.

Negative I am not advocating murder. What we are seeing is what a lack of respect does.

Rather than leaving christians alone atheist feel the need to push their issues.

Islam is not tolerant like christians.

There was once a time when christians would have thrown atheist down a well. But those times no longer exist.

Christianity is only tolerant because it has been marginalized out of Government. Before then it did as Islam does today.

That's not an Argument from Ignorance.

An Argument from Ignorance goes like this: I can't begin to imagine what complexity was required to bring about the Universe. Therefor God must have Created it.

Okay, here's my proof of God:

Facts.

We fully understand the a creation requires creator. We simply don't see a Creation as you imply it. However, things are created in other ways and they awyas have a creator.

So you haven't heard of the Inquisition, Salem Witch Trials, or any of the Religious wars within Europe between members of different denominations?

Who said children or babies are evil but you?

Strawman found, and bypassed.

I said the children unfortuately suffer because of the decisons their parents make. Parents are legally and morally accountable for under-aged children. A parent becomes a drug-addict, kids suffer somehow, a parent gambles and loses his work income at the casino, kid(s) suffer as a result.

This isn't rocket science.

I went a step further and applied this to the Amalekites. Long-time enemies of Israel, first nation to ambused them, then God put them under a permanent ban. Since this went on from the Exodus down to Saul's day, the Amalekites were obviously raising their children to hate and attack Israel...no wonder God ordered them all to be wiped out...they didn't show any sign of change throughout their generations.

Then the logical question is why did children have to die. I simply don't know, but again, parental choices affect children...this is an undeniable TRUTH even down to this day and age.
 
Atheists are killed in these countries yet the MSM and the atheists hardly ever speak out on this. There is a case of double standards and it has to stop. If Christians were killing atheists they would be outraged.

That could be true, but you should have some evidence before you just make up a hypothesis and put a name to it like God.

If there is objective truth, which there must be, then it's hard to ascribe the universe's creation to sheer chance, or to a completely dumb and indifferent force.

The fact that there are objective truths implies some intelligence under the hood. People call that God.

I'll tell you why they had to die: Israel hated them, so they killed them all. End of story. There was no "god", no great injustice needing to be carried out, there was just a group of people who hated another group and wanted there Land.

The only reason you are here now trying to justify this action is because of all the god BS within the story and your Faith that this god and this book are true.

Whereas secular institutions are completely absolved of their bloodletting? Combine all the casualties perpetrated by religious institutions and compare them with just one of the atrocities committed by an atheist-enforced government. Try the Holodomor. Try the Great Leap Forward.

I don't attempt to vindicate the tragedies perpetrated by religions and religious people. But atheists might have the open-mindedness they so often ascribe to themselves to credit religion for the good it has done as well as the bad, just as they should do with secular institutions.

To carte-blanche dismiss religion and faith as wholly ignorant and destructive is no more open-minded than a fundamentalist Christian denying evolution.

There's one thing I know about truth; it hurts when you hear it.

Carry on.
