I have an idea for a new thread...

[HDW]

"I am not saying that everyone has to agree, but please, if something is offensive to one person, no matter what your beliefs are, at least have the common decency to allow them to have their viewpoint, even if it contradicts your own worldview."

 

perhaps you missed that bit, so I highlight it for clarity sake.

 

It boils down to mutual respect. Something that there is short supply of on the Bikehub lately.

 

 

 

 

Than this statement of your makes no sense:

 

"The fact that it is offensive to EVERY Christian to see a mockery of Jesus being made on a public forum is irrelevant, as long as all the non-Christians are okay with it?"

 

If free speech is not being restricted, then yes, making fun of whoever or whatever is irrelevant. Free speech above all else should then prevail.

I think everyone needs a dose of respect.

 

I want to respect women. Hence, I do not post any sexually explicit or suggestive content.

 

I also respect Muslims. I do not agree with them though and will be open about that. But because I respect them I don't go around the internet looking for memes about them or their God.

 

I am not saying noone should have a meaning. But I don't like it when someone ridicules my God. Please respect me and my Cristian brothers on this forum enough to not make jokes about our faith.

 

Thank you.

 

I will respect and even defend every persons right to believe what they want, as long as it does not harm another being. But I will never respect any religion. And I may comment on this forum from that view point, just as you may comment here from your view point.

This. Entirely this. 

 

If someone subjugated someone else based on their religious bent / sexual orientation / ethnicity / whatever, I'd be livid, and would fight that as much as I could. 

 

However. That does not mean I will not ridicule a person's BELIEF. Sexual orientation / ethnicity / age etc are not belief structures.

You guys are starting to argue in circles.

 

Lets get back to the intention of this thread and post something awesome.

I respect the person, not the belief... Big difference.

No one said you were not allowed to be offended. All we said was your feeling of offence does not and should not prevent the rest of us from sharing things that we find funny or opinions.

 

Your point (and correct me if I'm wrong here) is that no one should be allowed to post something that offends you? What about if it offends someone else? How can you guarantee that anything that is posted will not offend anyone?

I get that. But I'm asking hubbers, To respect me, as a person, whatever, and because they RESPECT me(or the human I am) to respect my belief and not ridicule it.

 

If that's too much to ask, well, then go ahead.
