I agree! I view the whole situation as a question of moral value. I have always thought that faith is not a bad thing on its own. If it compels those who believe to act with charity, kindness, and brotherhood, then it has value even if I don't believe in it myself.
There is a difference between criticizing the strictures of a faith when it instructs men to act unjustly and mocking it for the satisfaction of one's ego.
I'm conflicted. My ex from high school's mom once asked me what keeps me from killing her, when asking about my religion and me revealing I am atheist. She casually responded that if it weren't for God, she would stab me with her dinner fork in a heart beat for being such a shitty person (an atheist).
I am both terrified and thankful that religion puts people like her at bay. 😂

I really doubt you remember what happened accurately if that's the story. weird to share it and try to take moral pride above religion
It's literally a story about the exact opposite... religious person taking moral pride over an atheist.
And your commenting on a thread where I and others are shitting on atheists calling them commie incels with nothing better to do...
So yeah, be less triggered fam.
