No one is required to be tolerant or polite nonbelivers either, but we are. thats the difference.
You're missing the point, as usual. The difference is that there's no requirement to 'respect' specious superstitious beliefs. Non-believers don't have such specious superstitious beliefs. The FC guideline is to respect other members of FC, not their beliefs, (a person is not their beliefs). Perhaps this distinction is too subtle for some religious zealots; hence their confusion.
You are wrong and intolerant, especially when you call posters names - that is personal and daring the boundary line of the golden rule. You don't have to like a Christian's belief and other than your right to your opinion of thinking a Christian's belief is "specious superstitious..." it is not right after that to be so disrespectful, intolerant, and mean, when it is not your business how they live their beliefs in their personal life. It's not wrong for them to share things with each other. If you hate it that much, don't let the door hit you on the way out of such a "hateful to you" thread and have fun sharing in a thread that you prefer.
What you are really doing is trying to shut Christian's opinions up and make them look bad. Another thing is that it is very obvious you are enjoying what you are doing, which constitutes "trolling" and back-lashing posters you don't think should believe they way they are allowed. You haven't hushed anyone, and your whining and bashing haven't blocked people from sharing within their rights in here, yet you continue to be irritated and an irritant. Go on with you if you are that upset about people being able to live and speak as the Constitution allows and this forum allows.
The Bible says in James 4:7 (NIV), "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." I am NOT calling YOU the devil, but you are definitely promoting the devil's work.
Ephesians 6:11 "Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes."
1 Peter 5:8 "Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour."
1 Peter 5:9 "Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings."
Ephesians 4:27 "And do not give the devil a foothold." ("Neither give place to the devil -
Your adversary will strive to influence your mind, and irritate your spirit; watch and pray that he may not get any place in you, or ascendancy over you.")
