i have this friend, love him i really do, but he drives me mad. he's catholic, i'm atheist. for the most part we make it work, but i think he's stepped over the line. on at least three occasions he has bitched at me for posting atheist stuff on my facebook and has even gone so far as to tell me to stop doing so because it insults his faith these horrible atheist things that i post on my page are along the vein of this Douglas Adams quote Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too? no knock on christianity though there are occasions where i'll pass on things like though i've never made any overt or covert attacks on christians. the thing is, i've also posted a scathing expose on scientology, and passed on quotes from arabic shieks that don't exactly paint islam in the prettiest of lights. he doesn't blink an eye when i do that, but when i post something that's atheist i'm apparently attacking his faith. but see the thing is, i think if my acknowledgement that i don't share his faith is enough to be that much of a threat to it, his faith isn't very strong to begin with. i'm not attacking his faith, or insulting it, i'm just stating that i don't share it, and yes occasionally i do ask questions of it. i don't think it's fair that he ask me censor myself just because he can't handle the fact that i don't share his faith. sometimes his overly religious stuff bothers me but i never told him that's insulting to me, don't post it because i'm secure enough in my position to not mind that there are others that don't share it with me. am i being a bigot? is there something i'm missing? ETA here's an example of the horrible atheist stuff i pass on on occasion ETA 2 i dug back into my facebook and this is the one he specifically bitched at me on my fb about gt Hello, users of  This is a footnote from your moderators.

i think if the mere act of acknowledging that you don't share faith is an insult to your faith, then it's not very strong to begin with
