The rise of "I'm offended" culture is directly related to rise in atheism.

[CalmWind]

The following is my opinion.


In the past,
Americans going to Sunday church every day were taught the teachings of Jesus, such as :

"Love thy neighbor."
"Forgive seventy times seventy. Don't hold grudges. Forgive those who offend you."





1900 :
Person A : "Hey, this is my opinion XYZ."

Christian : "Well, I don't agree with you, but that's okay. I'm not mad at you."




2019 :

Person A : "Hey, this is my opinion XYZ."

Liberal : "OMFG WHAT DID YOU SAY, YOU ARE HITLER, I AM SO OFFENDED, YOU NEED TO BE FIRED. YOUR LIFE SHOULD BE DESTROYED. I HATE YOU."




Decline in Christianity = crappy quality citizenry.

Tell me I'm wrong.

People that are heavily into religion are the most judgmental people of all. These are the people who were offended by Elvis Presley and his "devil music" and Playboy magazine with its "pornography".

They just don't seem to have a loud voice anymore.

Completely off topic as you did not reply to the subject of my post.

Even so, Pornography has been proven to be bad for your mental health.

Stfu *******.

Doesn't make the OP any less true.

SJ/leftist politics/atheism is nothing but Christianity with the removal of God at the center.

Atheism is a minority on the left as well.

Very true we were once considered a Christian nation once that started going out the door people’s morals went with it.

I've never claimed to be that. Not even close, boomer.

[anonymous]

The fedora lords of the 00s were useful idiots for seeding the agenda of the left, they had to check their privilege and stop attacking Islam like the cowardly Dawkins and his disciples, but at the end of the day they will always be yt male incels and never accepted by the modern left they helped usher in.

Sometimes. But they can also be the most forgiving just like OP said.

Some of them are amazingly forgiving and understanding.

I wonder if there's maybe an age when people begin to relax more and have an increased sense of the various troubles people go through.

I bet that is partially why you're supposed to be 35 for president srs.

So would you ban movies with bikinis and violence as well?

[keyboardworkout]

I think it is more likely due to a rise in the number of IN-N-Out Burger locations.

[Dave22reborn]

Also, majority of atheists are pretty chill, they're quiet about it. If you want to have a discussion about how all religion is false, I'd be happy to oblige.

[Stizzel]

Most atheists aren't really atheists, they just want the christian god out of the way so they can replace it with their worship of cultural marxism

This. Repped.

And, just like any group.... we have bad apples that do not represent well.



Some people claim Christianity.... and then do the opposite of the teachings of Jesus.... classic example is the Westboro baptists. Imagine some poor kid growing up in that environment... they'd think Christians are crazy and hateful beings.


If someone is going to criticize Christianity, criticize the actual teachings of Jesus. Not the bad apples giving it a bad name.

[heartlikeagrave]

It's social media and liberalism creating snowflakes

It started getting like this on social media several years ago but now it has spilled out into real life because it's considered normal now argue about everything

It's incredible how entitled and delusional social media has made people

If you want to, I'd be happy to answer all of your criticisms of the Holy Bible.

Make a new thread for that though.

[CalmWind]

No, because I do not believe in legislating Christianity on others.

God gave us free will to choose. Why would I take that away from you by force?


So, I would not "ban" anything legally, but I would certainly criticize it and hope people choose against it. Which, unfortunately, is hard.. because so many people fall prey to their base desires (lust, greed, pride, etc)

It would be real short and simple, sorry if I don't believe that the first two people on the planet were named Adam and Eve, who lived for centuries, and was kicked out of paradise because a talking snake told Eve to eat some forbidden fruit....

1800:
Person A : "Hey, this is my opinion XYZ."
Christian: "You are clearly criminally insane, lifetime of hard labour for you, boyo."

1700:
Person A : "Hey, this is my opinion XYZ."
Christian: "Burn the heretic!!!!!1111"

Christianity does not teach burning heretics.

Try again.

It wasn't a normal snake. It was an fallen angel who took the form of an animal.

I don't see what the issue is. Like I said, make a new thread if you want to go through with your previous offer.

Oh, a fallen angel who took the form of an animal? And that's supposed to be more believable than a talking snake?

[Mr Beer]

"Atheists are easily offended" complains man offended by atheism.

Just more nonsense from the religious right wing.

I think the entire premise is wrong and there isn't really a connection between a decline in Christianity and a rise in people being intolerant of dissenting opinions. It's not surprising seeing the poisonous discourse and leadership in the United States.

You don't need to go to church or be a Christian to learn to have respect for others and the benefits of forgiveness. In fact I think people do well without it and most of the time it's the religious people who are the most judgmental.

Christianity is dying because it's a false religion and gives no tangible and substantial benefits in regards to reality that you couldn't attain elsewhere. It's mostly just a comforting tool and defense mechanism for people who are scared. It is like all fake religions that when brought to the table and thoroughly examined by the entire world gets exposed as a primitive belief system.

[ApeXXXPredator]

It has nothing to do with it.
