I whole heartedly understand why that would make you mad, it makes me mad just reading it! Before I say anything, I would just like to point out that I am in no way blasphemous. Everyone has a right to believe in what they choose to believe, whether that be religion or not. But to treat or speak to someone in a way that is almost mocking, or acting as though what they believe is the real deal and you are just naive, that is wrong. I remember being in a car with my Christian friend and a friend of his (who is also Christian) discussing my worry over a job I was starting. His friend said something along the lines of God will be there to guide me, to which I replied I was not religious and dont look to God for help (Im not an atheist, I personally just dont follow anything or have any set beliefs). He then said to me 'you dont have to believe in him, God is still there'. I was livid! Who is anyone to tell me what is and isnt, and who is he to speak to me in a way that looks down on my own beliefs, that Im naive and can deny all I want. Of course in saying that, the same goes vice versa, someone of similar beliefs to mine is not in a position to look down their nose on those who are religious just beca.se they may not agree with those followings.
