Reply #180: I Do Not Give My Permission To Be Verbally Hobbled [View All]

simply because someone feels "special" or "better" or ENTITLED to denying me the language that accurately describes my concerns and opinions.

Thank you for the definition, but the stubborn posturing and denial of the obvious is beginning to look absurd now. The word "fundie" has been misused for effect and now the attempts to redefine and defend the choice of words is just starting to look a bit, well... silly.

I have not claimed that there's no such thing as a rude atheist. Certainly rude people exist everywhere. Your point is taken, but your language is suspect. Of course you're free to use whatever words you please, regardless if they are inaccurate and misused.

LOL! How odd that you chide others for using "charged" language, yet you choose to do the same. Interesting.

When it comes to acquiescing to these "softer words" demands... I simply will not indulge such vanities. You will not fine me modulating my language or using ineffective and imprecise words to appease hypersensitive Christians.

Fact is that there are likely NO words that I could use that would be "accepted" whenever it comes to expressing doubt or disbelief or when it comes to questioning the illogic, cruelty, or absurd passages in scripture.

I'm not about to start using words from an official "approved list" of words that Christians find least offensive (approved this week... subject to change without notice).
