The logic might be that God can defend himself but other humans can't defend themselves as easily. So if someone says something that could lead to violence toward another human, it can be taken more seriously than someone disrespecting an immoral being. Same reason that someone threatening to punch a baby would be taken more seriously than someone threatening to knock out a heavyweight boxer twice their size.

Wow, one hell of a lot of profound politics in posts 1 and 2.

I mean, why should someone be upset if person A disrespects their God?


tho I also dont see why someone should get upset if someone disrespects women and blacks.


Where exactly is the dignity in being triggered?

There's no logic at all in the inane false dichotomies he invents.

If Person A disrespects God, then Left Wing Christians don't care.

Do right wing Christians worship a smaller god by the same name?


From an anthropological view, this is fascinating.

What if the disrespect isn't violent (as it normally isn't)?

I think the concern is that it might inspire violence or discriminatory policies.

Yes they do (Trump).

I see what you did there. ;-)

Because God is just a plug in for whatever you want to call virtuous. You believe in white nationalism? Then claim God does too. You advocate against slavery, them claim God is with you (even though the bible explicitly endorses slavery).


When people invoke God, all they're really doing is invoking their (often convenient) conception of God, and then pretending that the disrespect they experience is being directed towards some omni benevolant being rather than at themselves. It's the ultimate deflection.

Are you saying Christians are self deprecating?
