Take a Stand against Religious attacks?

That's a good idea- and some questions, you're right, are so inflamatory ignoring them are better.\n\nBut some questions need to be answered- we wouldn't want silence to be taken as consent...

You ask a question here, it's open to all. Typical that you seek to control what you don't like to confront. Thing is, I DO care if some busybody gets me out of my armchair or stops me in the street out of a sense that I am wrong about everything and they are right about everything. So I don't care if you don't want to read what I have to say, that's not the sort of forum this is.\n\nAnd don't evangelize. Distrtibute food parcels, do something for the homeless, drug addicts, refugees, battered women, children with cancer, elderly day care or something that is of actual value to other people, and not just your ego. We'll choose your way of seeing things if we want to. Otherwise just go away.

they just probly want you not to follow Jesus but to follow what they believe. I as well am a Christian and i get attacked as well but instead i fight back if they're gonna attack. if not then i dont bother to attack at them.   I agree wit you on lettin everyone believe what they want cause its their life.  Its not their job to change our lives and make us believe in what they believe in.

Ban religion would be the first step!

Let's see, have you ever been attacked?  If so, did you ask the attacker "excuse me, are you a bully"?  I don't think so.  \n\nThe problem you are dealing with here is the fact that you are being attacked.  I will assume you mean physically.\n\nIf you are a Christian, you are obliged to turn the other cheek.  While Christ didn't provide you a clear user's manual, it is clear that you are supposed to love your enemies.  I don't recall a passage from the New Testament that instructs Christians to stand and take a beating, though. A Christian, in my view, would not hit back, but take such defensive measures were necessary to protect himself, such as moving away and seeking help.  If I recall, Christ didn't resist the Romans who took him into custody and even prevented his defense by his apostles.\n\nNow, let's say you are among the many so-called Christians who don't have a problem ignoring this important message (like the wonderful members of Officer Christian Fellowship in the military...kill a commie for Christ) then I would say that you have the obligation to defend yourself and part of doing that is rendering the attacker neutral and stopping the attack.  However, one should strictly observe the hierarchy of escalation.  This is moral and has the added benefit of keeping you out of prison.  It follow:\n\nDo not hold when you can move away.\nDo not hurt when holding is enough.\nDo not wound when hurting is enough.\nDo not maim when wounding is enough.\nDo not kill when maiming is enough.\n\nSo if a person is attacking you with his/her words, you do not touch them.  If they shove you and you can't move away, you should try to use the minimum means to avoid injury.  If they strike you, then striking back is fair.  What is a clean fight on the street?  Never seen one. Eye gouging? Sure.  Hammer blow to the wind pipe?  Why not?  Just remember that these are maiming moves and shouldn't be used except when desperate.\n\nYou could stand there and take it.  If they continue to harm you (they usually don't) then their prison term becomes more and more severe, but you could end up in the hospital.

just keep remaining quiet,  usually if people know you have a view point on something especially religion they will debate you on it...thats why i stay away from those types of subjects......

Well, here are a few ways:\n1. Don't cover his hate-mongering on the daily news.  The whole reason that "church" keeps going is because they get publicity.  Complain to TV stations that cover them.\n\n2. If you are at a funeral or event where they are present, either tell them how much their actions hurt and offend you, or stand in front of them with your backs to them.  You have the right to do this from the 1st amendment, just like they do.\n\n3. Support organizations, such as PFLAG, who work against discrimination, bigotry and homophobia.  Support the same causes yourself.\n\nI tried to limit my answer to things an individual can do, vs. staging a counterdemonstration and other things that require lots of people and money.\nThanks for your thoughtful question.

Religion or no religion regardless if someone is demonstrating odd behavior like that around my children they need to be escorted away. I dont give a damn if you fee that you are religiously justified. Your not justifed by my foot that would quickly be in somones ass for not making sure my children was protected. I agree with you, and i wish you well

Use your right to practice religion.\n\nClaim that your religion forbids you to stay sober.\n\nthen raise a stink with the ACLU, NAACP, etc....

I don't think anything should be done.\n\nThere are many people on this site with diametrically opposed points of view.\n\nAS long as the guidelines are adhered to, you are just going to have to suck it up.\n\nIf you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen!\n\n\n....................................................................................\n\nAddition.\n\nTaboo buster is stating that ALL religions are stupid. By the way he structured his question, I can see how someone might think that he hates only the Jews.\n\nI don't agree with the reasoning that he used to come to his conclusion, but by the interaction of the different viewpoints here on this forum, people might be able to see things from a different perspective and come to a different conclusion.\n\nUnder usage rules #No 4, it states that we can't report a person just because we don't agree with them.

I would object for the one simple reason.  State and Church are seperate.. Although its seems for from it now.  I would not press my beliefs on someone nor should someone else press there beliefs on someone else.  they are more like to turn away and get mad at you for pushing your religions on them.

Your right. You should probably take up arms against the US army to stop them.  I think after everything thats happended you are morally obligated to take a stand. Arent you?

don't be put down. Stand up for what you beleive and don't do what you think is wrong. I didn't quite understand your question but I hope this might have helped at least a little.
