Be tolerant of my beliefs while I criticize and condemn yours all while trying to force you to be impacted by my belief system, because I'm right, even if what you believe doesn't hurt me in the slightest. That pretty much summarizes the gay rights movement, does it not? This post makes no sense, but it does sound like someone's not over the 'gay marriage being is now legal across the land' thing. Say what? I'm incredibly pro gay rights, so I am legit confused by this.

On the other hand I would ask why OP felt the need to post this on Easter, the holiest Christian day. Since it's just an ordinary Sunday to anyone who isn't Christian then why bother to post "have a great Sunday"? [ The "He is Risen" thread OP said "Happy Easter to all who celebrate more than just the bunny visit." I thought that was mean so I started a thread for everyone who celebrates just the bunny visit (well the time off work too). I'm sorry that you don't like it when people are being nice. You thought it was mean, so you needed to start a mean post too. Sorry, no, that isn't being nice.

Some people need to look up what bullying means, it's not one asshole comment on the internet. lainey- you are so right-one comment (nasty or sarcastic) doesn't equal bullying. A kid gets called a name because he wears glasses and the parents or school label the name caller a bully. The same as when a person gets called fat because they are not thin and the person using the fat word gets labelled a bully.

Yes of course. But that has nothing to do with the OP's original post. But was the OP in the "he has risen" post any better? are you really saying that the two titles are equal? In one title it is a statement/slogan used all over for the day. Easter is very important to Christians and the title of the thread was positive and meant to be uplifting. This thread title is written in a way that is very much a poke at christians, telling them their day is stupid and a farce. It was not meant to share and be uplifting, It was meant to be rude.

While I wouldn't have posted a thread like this, I don't think it's any more rude than the "Happy Easter only to those who celebrate it as a religious holiday" thread. And nary an atheist jumped in there to say how offended they were. Yeah...it kind of bums me out when my uber religious friend (everyone else is pretty respectful) discounts the tree and presents during Christmastime as if those things aren't important and the only important thing is the religious aspect. I love the feel of the season (my tree is up in October most years and Christmas music often shows up in the summer because I'm Irish and live in the desert and living indoors when it's 117 degrees outside...only going out at night like a vampire...is not that fun and I want to think of cooler times, even if we don't get snow) and the doing for others, and the spending time with family (80% of family friendly activities in Vegas occur during the late fall and early winter months so we cram a lot into those 3 months) and the gifts that I see as a way to try and cheer someone up, especially if we are doing a secret Santa style exchange and they weren't expecting much because they are struggling. THOSE things have GREAT meaning to me, so to say 'the real reason for the season' is in "Christ" and the other stuff doesn't matter, that hurts my soul. That's a very interesting perspective. Thank you.

The thing is, this *is* what non-believers think about those events. They don't believe Jesus was the son of God, and they don't believe in resurrection. They do think that people had delusions about seeing a ghost. And maybe people did "make shit up". My personal belief is that Jesus Christ was resurrected on the third day which we now call Easter, and it doesn't matter to me what anyone else thinks. As a non believer, no this isn't what I think about those events. I don't think about it period, it has no relevance to me or my life. I'd be interested to know how much thought other atheists give these matters. I really don't care what other people believe but if you think name calling and ridiculing the op is any better or more christlike than what she did then you might also be an asshole. I'm with you. I personally give little or no thought to religious events. I am aware of a lot of them because they have impacted many things historically. I also am aware of a lot of the events/traditions that have been borrowed from older/other religions. And I cannot be bothered to point them out to religious people mainly because they don't like that. So mainly I try to avoid the religious/nonreligious part with friends and family. I don't bother you so you should not bother me.

Sadly, people are also so willing to be assholes. Some people need to look up what bullying means, it's not one asshole comment on the internet. Are you new here? One comment? This is yubon we are talking about here.

Uhhhh, yeah, you still don't know what a bully is. Posting a thread like this directed at no individual person does not make me a bully. Hundreds of rude comments posted over the years towards dozens of people on unrelated topics does not make me a bully. I am now going to call you a whiny, crybaby moron. That still doesn't make me a bully. Now, if I were to follow you around and call you names every time you post, then yes, that would make me a bully. I've never done that to anyone. There are a couple of people here who post stupid shit everywhere they go and if I happen to see it, then I call them out on it. But I don't go looking for their posts. In fact, there has always been more "bullying" behavior exhibited TOWARDS me here than BY me. But.....I'm not a whiny crybaby and I know that random anonymous people on this board have zero impact on my real life, so I don't make a federal case about it. I couldn't care less, actually.

For my part, I'm not interested in playing semantics over what bullying is and isn't. There's a whole big spectrum of behavior that sucks and it includes mostly benign and mild assholishness on one end and it includes extreme bullying on the other. I don't mind tossing it all under the same umbrella because people are too quick to say, well, it's not bullying, you're just too sensitive and you should grow a thicker skin - when in reality being a rude asshole is actually not okay either. To be clear, I am not referring to any specific person as an asshole, just responding to the assertion that people are too willing to be victims.

No I'm not new here and Yubon is spot on with why she isn't a bully. You're all free to not like her comments but she is not bullying any of you.

Grave robbers took the body and then people either had mass delusions about seeing his ghost or simply made shit up. Have a great Sunday non-Christians, atheists and agnostics! I just wanted to wave hello to Yubon! So good to see you again.
