I am Greek, I am a Christian, I am currently finishing my PhD in computer science and I do not evade taxes. Are there are more stereotypes that you wish to apply to me?
Seriously? You are hoping the demise of a whole country, because you don't agree with their laws around religion? Why not kill all theists and get it over with, right?
Slashdot usually attracts people with very specific mindsets about the supernatural, so I don't expect much sympathy, but I will say it anyway.
When does the freedom of speech cross the line of insults and a lack of respect for others? For instance,
- If you have a business, is it ok for me to stand with a sign outside of it that says "This business is the worst", and
try to convince people not to go in?
- Is it ok for me to make a Facebook group that is against someone specifically and calls him names, edits pictures of
him and uploads them online or fabricates stories to make someone look bad?
- Can I follow your daughter or son around and tell them that their father/mother is the worst?
and so on...
People live and die believing certain things. For some, including myself, belief in the supernatural is core to who they are. Why do people, that do not believe the same, feel the need to make fun, ridicule and try to convince them of how wrong they are? In the end of the day, most religions promote a way of life that if followed makes a 'model citizen', don't steal, don't kill, don't cheat, pay your taxes, respect others and so on.
