I have no faith in religious figures or indeed in religion at all. But I respect anyone's right to believe what they want. I expect the same respect in return. Why are believers always so concerned or bothered about people not sharing their point of view? What do they care if I'm destined to go to their hell? I doesn't bother me so why should it bother them? I just don't get it. I take responsibility for my own life and accept the consequences of my actions. I don't hurt anyone. And I get really tired of people presuming that if I don't have religious faith then I must have nothing in my life that has meaning. If their faith is so strong then what do they care if people say "Jeebus"? Does their God really need protecting from such things? Do they? if so then perhaps they should consider what their faith really means to them.

I'm British and I've seen the posts on DU making the same old jokes about the state of our teeth and the lousiness of British cuisine. Should I make a point of asking people here to not make jokes about British people? I think not. I don't need protecting from it. If I can't handle it then I should just go elsewhere.
