Trolling for soup

By he's a dawk, and a cunt - 05/07/2013 22:29 - Australia - Darling Point

Today, my boyfriend and I went to my parents' barbecue. He knew my family is extremely religious, so what did he do? Called for silence to make an announcement, namely: "God isn't real." Cue a riot that ended in us being kicked out and me all but disowned for "putting him up to it". FML

If he can't respect your family (and their religious beliefs) enough to be polite, he isn't worth your time.

Hm, I can't tell who's worse. It's either your boyfriend or your parents. Also, if your boyfriend is an atheist, good luck having Christmas with your parents and him.

I can't stand Atheists like this. If you don't believe that God is real then fine; that is your right. However, you have no right to go and shove your beliefs down anyone elses throats and belittle people who don't share your beliefs. Atheists like these are just as bad as the crazy fundamentalist Christians they keep mocking. I don't understand why we can't all just agree to disagree when it comes to religion and remain respectful of each other's beliefs. OP, your boyfriend is an asshole because he has zero respect for anyone with beliefs that differ from his. At the very least he owes your family an apology for his behaviour. There's nothing wrong with being Atheist but there is everything wrong with being a narrow-minded douchebag who finds it necessary to mock people just because they have a different set of beliefs to your own.

I'm totally the kind of person who would do that, and proudly. One side has truth and reason behind it, and the other side has unwavering idiotic belief in a magic omnipotent sky fairy.

You're entitled to your beliefs. You're not entitled to be a prick about them by shoving them down other people's throats. If you don't want fundamentalists shoving Christianity in your face then don't shove Atheism in theirs.

What a dickwad your boyfriend is. Nobody should care for his atheism, the same way that nobody should care for your parent's religiousness, but we should all care for his insolence. He was tremendously disrespectful and dismissive of your family's beliefs and hospitality; they were his girlfriend's family and he allowed himself to very publicly treat them like ignorant children. If he's like this in any other aspect of his life, then I don't understand why you'd want to date him.

Dump him unless you think he's worth having fights with your family all the time. He broke the basic laws of hospitality by intentionally insulting the host.

This guy is an absolute jerk, if he does this to now, think of how he will lack respect for you if you get more serious. That would be the time that he became my ex boyfriend.

How is it extremely rude for atheists and non-believers to say god does not exist but it is ok for religious people to preach about religion and god at anytime they want?

Yes, the sheer fact that prayers, religious teachings, and religious symbols have been banned in schools and other public places is clear evidence that NO ONE has any problem whatsoever with Christians shoving their religion in anyone else's faces. Seriously? No, it is not okay for religious people to shove their beliefs down other people's throats. Maybe you live it might be but it isn't like that everywhere and no one here has said that it is. It's not okay for anyone to disrespect someone else's beliefs, period.
