Why is it that most non-religious people i know are far more tolerant of other people's faith than the religious ones? (no, not all of them)
isn't it supposed to be the other way around?

i mean, most holy scripture, no matter the sect or base, preaches about this kinda tolerance shit all the time. did i miss something?

cause its good for me to be ok with the faith of people around me, but not good for the faithful to be ok with me.
Fuck. That.

normally, this kinda thing just rolls off my back and i ignore it, seeing as i have little faith in really old dead people to begin with; but hearing some surprisingly deep rooted hate from good people, just because they think it'll spare them from hell, irritates the shit out of me.

for fuck sake children, get along.

Unfortunately for a lot of people on both sides the experience is similar, Nina. Just like ever christian I run into isn't particularly well versed in their own doctrine or very capable of expressing themselves without resorting to scare tactics there are many ill informed atheists who are not very well read and bad at articulating ideas, and get defensive as well.

Regardless of what ideas one holds dear, we're all human, and humans sadly tend to screw up in this regard much the same way.
