(22,801 posts)Perhaps you can tell me the term for the fallacy you are employing in assuming I am talking about ignoring a denial of my rights as opposed to ignoring the mere expression of another person's opinion. I find your irrelevant and inaccurate generalizations about me both rude and illogical. Calm down, take a deep breath, and try to understand my point. You still don't get it.
When a gay couple can't buy a cake because of their sexual orientation, that is a denial of their rights. When a religulous person accuses you of being intolerant, that is an expression of their opinion. Get it? Two very different situations. If you can document that you have been denied your rights as a citizen because you are an atheist, then I believe you have been sorely mistreated and should take steps to redress that wrong. If you are pissed of because your feeling were hurt by someone's opinion, then I'd say, "deal with it."
