[quote=Jorick] I figure that the reason there's no special word for discrimination based on religion is twofold. First, it's because religious people as a whole have never actually been a minority or second-class group that was the victim of awful oppression and the like. Certain religions have been, such as Judaism, but they were discriminated against by other religions rather than because of the fact that they were religious. Blanket anti-religious discrimination is a new thing, and it hasn't reached anywhere near the point of religious people being a disadvantaged minority. Anti-non-religious discrimination has been a thing for a lot longer, but there's no special word for that either; I'd guess this is partly due to the fact that atheists and co. are such a small minority in the world that they don't have much of a voice to be heard above the din of other groups that are discriminated against, partly due to the fact that atheism is already becoming very widely accepted in the western world without the need for any big movement, and partly due to to my next point.[/quote] Are you familiar with the story of the christian fish?

There is some..... unsafe things happening with my medicinal situation, and it's not gonna .... make for like, you know, ah..... a good read. But the long and short of it is, [i]you have decided[/i] that that, which is [b]most precious[/b] to me, is not INNATE ENOUGH [img]http://fedgeno.com/meme-generator/uploads/259.png[/img] and therefore it's not a big deal, I mean, it's not like you were BORN with a soul, right? So who cares? this is like ten paragraphs beyond the place where I should really stop. Okay. But that's exactly what I mean, right? 'It's not okay to hate this this or this, [b]but go ahead, hate christianity, I don't give a fuck, not my bible."[/b] Walking away. I just zoned out and had a conversation with littlefinger. We'll revisit this later.
