You sneered at Greta's religion, and you know it.

I've nowhere denied that I frowned upon Scientology.

(And if you accept Scientology uncritically, then I guess that says quite a LOT about you to the rest of us)

Beyond that, you've somehow yet again missed my point.

So I'll make a similar point -- again using the latest comment you've sent my way:

You said: "You sneered at Greta's religion...

So? Haven't you sneered @ my religious beliefs 3x now on this thread?

So you have a "sneer" license? And if anybody else even dares a frown upon another's religion, your PC thought police mode kicks into gear? Really? Then how come your PC thought police personal standards NEVER seem to apply to your own commentary on others religious expressions?

You're not oblivious, are you, that my comments about Scientology on this thread have been of a religious nature? (IoW, I've offered up "religious" commentary)
Secondly, you're not oblivious, are you, that your comments in response to my religious commentary have been of a sneering, frowning, negative nature?

So, please explain:

Why do YOU get to sneer at my religious beliefs? (whereas you scold me for doing something similar to others beliefs?)
Why do YOU get frown at my religious beliefs? (whereas you scold me for doing something similar to others beliefs?
Why do YOU get to be intolerant of my religious comments? (whereas you scolded me as a "bigot" for being less-than-tolerant of others religious beliefs)
Why do YOU get to exercise your First Amendment rights to scold my religious commentary? (whereas you scolded me in your first post for exercising my First Amendment rights in providing religious commentary about Scientology, etc)

Here, you give yourself- the liberty, freedom & "license" to...
...speak negatively about others religious beliefs (mine)...
...be intolerant of others' religious beliefs (mine)...
...frown & sneer upon others' religious commentary (mine)...
...-- all while speaking religiously under the umbrella of the First Amendment...
...Yet somehow you suggested the First Amendment is a one-way street...
...and that "tolerance" is suppose to be for "thee" & "thine" but as for "me" (yourself) -- you can be as intolerant as you wanna be!

Fact is, if you were consistent with your own worldview of so-called "tolerance," you would have "tolerated" my religious commentary!

The problem is you have NO coherent worldview on this matter! (Otherwise known as religious hypocrisy; religious inconsistency)

What you attempt to negatively sanction in others -- you give yourself the license to engage in!

You lost the argument when you chose to double down on your first sneering statement. Now you want to engage me in a lengthy battle of words, to somehow redeem yourself.

Honestly, does it really make any difference to you whether Greta is a Scientologist, a Moonie, a Rosicrucian, or a Pastafarian? I’m sure she’s perfectly content to let you believe what you believe, and probably wouldn’t think of sneering at your choice of religion.

As for me, I’ll live and let live.
