Recently, there have been a lot of folks whining about how they got their feelings hurt because this sub is too critical of their religion....and naturally, they resort to blasting us as being a \"hate sub\" who engages in \"hate speech\" against the religious.<\/p>\n
This couldn't be more incorrect.<\/p>\n
Criticizing priests for raping children is not hate speech.<\/p>\n
Blasting the Catholic church for covering for pedophiles for decades is not hate speech.<\/p>\n
Blasting folks for still donating to an organization that admits that it has, for decades, covered for pedophiles is not hate speech.<\/p>\n
Being the first to shout \"fuck militant Islam\" after a terrorist attack is NOT hate speech.<\/p>\n
Telling the world that Nazis are fucking scum and deserve the guillotine after a Nazi shoots up a mosque is NOT hate speech.<\/p>\n
Hate speech is when a Christian pastor claims gays should be executed for simply being gay.<\/p>\n
Hate speech is when a Catholic compares gay folks to pedophiles while protecting actual pedophiles within the ranks of the church.<\/p>\n
Hate speech is saying that all atheists are immoral and deserve to be shunned for their beliefs.<\/p>\n
If folks would learn the difference between harsh criticism and hate speech, maybe they wouldn't be so butthurt by this sub.<\/p>\n
edit: yes, I agree with many comments pointing out that its always appropriate to say fuck Nazis.<\/p>\n
