No. You're just not 'gifted' with an inborn predisposition to take offense at anything anyone says because you like feeling morally superior to other people.

And YES, Daganev, that (The preceding statement ONLY) was aimed at you, and YES, I am very bloody serious.

The true mark of a bigot isn't that he criticizes or mocks other belief systems - It's that he's unable to take any negative remarks about his belief systems (Or anyone's belief systems, if he's a really bloody irritating sort of bigot) as anything but offensive slander deliberately aimed at hurting people.

*edit* nevermind.

Again, I'm curious... what moral superiority is there in asking that you not mock and demean people? I thought this was common practice of civility.

If the actual people being 'mocked and demeaned' were complaining, instead of you, Daganev., maybe. You just seem terribly eager to jump at someone's throat for 'mocking and demeaning' (God forbid anyone's belief system should ever be made fun of, ever.) things which you don't even stand for, just out of self-righteousness and a sense of moral superiority which stems from the fact that you apparently had your sense of humour beaten out of you at a young age.

Frankly, I do not wish to live in a society where religious beliefs are untouchable, unlike every other life choice anyone ever makes. Those things should be talked about, thought about, and yes, even laughed at. Hence, I behave as if we lived in such a society.

You are free to make fun of my own beliefs as much as you see fit. I am free to think you're not funny - But I'd much rather laugh, so put some effort into it when you do.

Try mocking Wicca on a regular basis, and see what happens.


There is plenty of places in the world to mock whomever you want. You don't have to do it on a forums of game played by various groups of people from all over the world.

You can go to your athiest forum and enjoy all the anti-religion jokes you want.

Speaking of Wicca, who do we have slotted for sacrifice this Yuletide? I vote for Daganev.




...strange. I don't see them coming at my throat with bolines.

Verithrax, please, for the sake of sanity, stop posting about religion. Think of the goldfish

I have been on and on about the subject lately because it strikes a chord with Daganev, and I like watching him squirm. But since someone other than Daganev complained, I know it's time to stop.
