Description
(Not even trying on the category)Seriously guys? You don't even know how many times I hear this:
"Orrzzz gosh, U no leik teh Jesus man? dat's Racist!"
or
"Chu dis teh power of the Menorah? THAT'S RACIST"
Or something along the lines of that. I can't quite recall some of the specific incidents, because they happen in school for the most part.
First of all, I do NOT approve on bashing any religion, cult, or whatever it may be; but honestly, if you're going to get into an argument with someone, be the intelligent, respectable person and ACTUALLY KNOW THE MEANING OF THE WORDS THAT ARE SPEWING FROM YOUR MOUTH.
If anything, I am fairly certain that being "racist" towards a religion is called being Sacrilegious. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)
And please, for such a small word, 'racist' or 'racism' is a strong one. Don't go using the word lightly.
Someone that is against a religion is most certainly not a hater of races.
They are hating on the religion.
*Sigh* Sorry, this was made on a bit of short notice. It might not sound like I know what I'm talking about, I tend to get my words all jumbled up.
Just, know what it is you are saying before you go around using the word.
And don't ask me what Religion I am.

duh fuck? Who in the right mind would think disliking religion is racist?

How about when there just happens to be a really annoying black guy in your grade but you can't retaliate in anyway cuz you don't wanna look racist (and you really aren't)

Be reasonable, like confronting anyone else, and don't worry about thinking if you look racist. it's his problem if he thinks you're a racist, he's just overly sensitive and needs to get over himself with people treating him like he's all that just because he's black. it's like reversed racism. society today...
honestly, it's racist for accusing someone of being racist just by their skin color. or at the very least, stereotypical. if he keeps giving you a problem, go about it exactly how you'd go about any other problem and it'll be fine I'm sure.
And is he bothering you personally, or is he bothering anyone, or does he just have an annoying personality? because if it's the third one, then I'm afraid going to any authority figure in school won't help you.. Some people are annoying, and sad as it may be, we have to deal. I have this annoying kid in my grade that I've known since kindergarten, he's always been annoying, and the worst part is that I used to have to hang out with him because his dad and my dad are friends. I hope I sparked a few ideas on what you should do!

Part of me agrees; I'm atheist, and you have no idea how many people tell me;
"Ooo, u dout Jesus, u will burn in hell"
"U dont leik Tora, u sinned!"
Like, no.
But then again, I was raised Jewish, and having been so, I just cannot fathom WHY anyone would care enough to hate someone's religion. This is why people are often killed. Judaism is sincerely a non-violent, very laid back religion, or at least the reforms are. My rabbi once gave a full sermon on why it's okay not to believe in God. (He said as long as you commit acts that are in his name like showing kindness and empathy, it shouldn't matter if you believe or not).
I don't know how exactly you mean this, but I really wouldn't go picking fights because you don't like Muslim or Christian people. The ones in moderation (and most of them are in moderation) are sincerely nice people who don't do anything to you.
Religion is a stupid idea to me too (why do we have to worship anything?) but I at least respect their beliefs not to tell them so.

Except in the case of Judaism, and Islam it does come down to antisemitism.

disregard bias please.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's not bias to say someone is a bigot for disliking someone's religion. It's an acceptable term.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
actually, 'bigot' means one who is intolerant or arrogant towards other groups/"outsiders". so it would actually fit christians more so than people who just dislike (note, "dislike" and "hate" are two very different words) a religion. after all, is it not most christians that go "everyone else is wrong!!!1!!!ONE" often?
say, i don't like chocolate ice cream. does that mean i'm bigoted towards chocolate-lovers? certainly not.
again, discard bias. and this time, receive intelligence as well, because you seem to lack it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bigot also refers to people who are intolerant of other ways of thinking, not just other groups.
Learn to use dictionaries, and don't read too much into what other people write.
Bigot is a proper term. Now don't be a hypocrite for claiming to be against intolerance when you yourself are intolerant.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i am aware of that, i was coining the standard definition. also, i repeat, not liking something is NOT intolerance. please remove your head from your ass, because your stubborn ignorance is getting ridiculous.
oh, my, so i am "intolerant" for correcting someone for mis-using a term to boost his own intolerance of the non-religious? no, i am not being intolerant, as i do not dislike you out of bias, but because of the fact you are being an complete idiot.
please don't confuse being disgusted of morons with being disgusted of whatever they use to store their swollen ego.
TL;DR : i don't hate you because of your religion. i hate you because you are an idiot and an ass. don't hide behind the "religious discrimination" card.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I never claimed the religiously discriminated card.
Do read people's posts before you attack them.
Or is it too much to hope for that you would actually take another person's point of view into consideration when you are far more concerned with saying your piece?
Your ad-hominem has no place here or anywhere. I cannot be the one to remedy the vitriol you feel, but I refuse to accept you taking it out on me.
Enjoy your life, bigot.

I agree. I don't put you down because you don't believe in God. I don't even make fun of people who are part of the Muslim ways.
I don't like it when people make those comments.

RACIST is NOT the word for this. Christianophobia, Judeophobia, Islamophobia, those could do it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
or something much more simple... atheist.
or if they're religious and just dislike other religions, xenophobic. (hating/fearing anything 'different' from their favored clique)

wtf... BEING RACIEST HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RELIGION!
