Help the Christians overcome themselves.

[Danhalen]

If I were to propose all Christians practiced a morally reprehensible lifestyle, and that we (as a society) ought to help them overcome their Christian ways, would I be a bigot?

This is not how I really feel.

 

[knightlight72]

Are you intolerant of christians? Or intolerant of their beliefs?

Then isn't that what a bigot is?

 

[Danhalen]

Are you intolerant of christians? Or intolerant of their beliefs?

Is it possible to seperate the two? I never said it was an issue of intolerance. I said it was an issue of wanting to help them overcome their reprehensible morality.

Then isn't that what a bigot is?

I am asking the question. Do you have an answer?

 

[knightlight72]

The answer of the definition of a bigot, is someone who prefers the issues of one group, and is intolerant of another group.

I asked you the questions I did, as that would have answered the definition of the question you asked.

The person who feels this way is not intolerant of Christians. They merely want to help Christians stop being Christian since they believe Christianity is a moraly reprehensible lifestyle. They love the Christians, but are saddened that the Christians hurt themselves by acting so imorally.

Is this not enough information for you to answer the question?

Not sure. I suppose we are equal in amount of bigotry/tolerance.

If you hate the christian for being a christian then I would call you a bigot.

haha clever thread

What are you unsure of? Why would you suppose we are both equal in bigotry and tolerance? I never said anything about you. I only spoke of a hypothetical "me."

 

[Danhalen]

This hypothetical me does not hate Christians. I only want Christians to stop being something which is harmful to them.

Thank you, sir or madam.

What parts of christianity you find immoral ?

 

[Danhalen]

What parts of christianity you find immoral ?

This is an hypothetical proposition. I do not find the vast majority of Christian lifestyles immoral. For the purposes of this thread, I will say my personal deity finds the very reverence of a deity in the form of a man to be an abomination. With the help of my deity, you can overcome yourself.

 

[LittleNipper]

I guess you would have to show me how I'd murder my neighbor, ruin my neighborhood, destroy the educational system, harm woodland animals, pervert children, and get or give sexually transmitted diseases by acting as CHRIST.

 

[Athene]

You wouldn't be a bigot, just an interfering busy body who should seriously mind his own business. (That's hypothetical me talking to hypothetical you - )

The answer of the definition of a bigot, is someone who prefers the issues of one group, and is intolerant of another group.

I asked you the questions I did, as that would have answered the definition of the question you asked.

Using that definition, which I am not saying is incorrect, makes EVERYONE a bigot. Everyone has predispositions against people who hold views disimilar to their own.

Since you reference a personal diety, that means the very thing you think he/she/it can help you overcome makes you become the very thing you are trying to overcome. You end up worshipping yourself.

No, no.

We love the Christians but hate the Christianity.


That's why we want to help you all.

 

[ScottBot]

No, no.

We love the Christians but hate the Christianity.


That's why we want to help you all.

That's assuming that your ethical position is correct and our is not.

I never accused of these trying to do any of these things. My personal deity has told me that the reverence of a deity in the form of man is an abomination. Therefore it is immoral to do so. Does that make me a bigot?
