Mocking Believers:

Religion has no special exemption from ridicule, satire, criticism and any other form of intellectual demolition. Like any other ideology, it and its believer snowflakes should stay out of the kitchen if they can't stand the heat of open debate. Or maybe they'd prefer to reinstate the blasphemy laws that prevail in Pakistan, Iran, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia?

Believers I debate claim that ethics and morality can't exist without god and religion, an insult to secular non-believers disproven by history: the invention of secular ethical systems in ancient Greece and Rome. Remember Socrates, condemned to death by intolerant believers? Seneca?

The ineluctable empirical fact that believers just can't swallow is that the correlation between ethics and faith is a very simple number: zero....or negative, given the fraud and grift known to occur among evangelical and Haredi Jewish community leaders.

Believers' documented persecution of free inquiry is at least 2500 years old. Secular persecution of believers? Limited to the pseudo-religious communist leader cult regimes of Stalin, Mao and the genocidal Khmer Rouge.

The inability of believers to take a joke explains why there's no religious version of George Carlin and his timeless ten commandments takedown of religion. When the moral asymmetry of intolerance is rebalanced; when a church takes less than 300 years to apologize to a Galileo, believer snowflakes can claim an exemption from mockery. Until then, learn to take as well as you've given since Socrates drank hemlock.
