it's just a kind thought to hope everyone might feel the love that exists in people of faith for all of humanity.
Are you saying that us people of non-faith don't feel the same love for all humanity? Cause that's what it sounds like.
I could probably pull more from what you said but just that is enough. That shows you the exact audacity of the people that I met this afternoon. That something you have from what you believe is something that I can not also have. I am not trying to attack you so please don't take it that way, but that is really insulting what you said and I hope that you can rethink you position on this.

Naw, its not the same. If you ask people that say all lives matter if black lives matter they would most likely say yes. Do you agree with that? If you ask those religious people that push that if atheists can feel the same love that that exists in people of faith for all of humanity, they are going to say no for the most part. Not the same at all.
I dont have to justify, I am valid, I am me, but the law has a different say on the matter.
Business also have a different say.
Imagine me in my jiffy lube shirt (not where I work) with my store manager name tag telling some pushy religious people to shove off in a polite manner going on youtube and then fox news. How valid would my job be then? How would I pay for my free will and party on? When your job is on the line you do have to rent space in your brain.

Ps, if someone was filming you at your job and you said you were a christian would you be afraid of loosing your job because of public backlash? Cause I would bet 95/05 that I would if I said I was an atheist, remember, religion is a protected class, non-religion, no so. Walk my shoes.
