AIBU to think that Christians....

[seeker]

...think their views and beliefs should take precedence over anyone else's?

Yes, YABU.

And she's off again. Seeker love a good Christian rant.

Yes YABU.

YABU to think that only applies to Christians.

If so then my line manager must be a christian. And Gina Ford.

Bit of a generalisation.

Some do, some don't.

Therefore I think YABU

I'm not a Christian, but I think my views and beliefs should take precedence over everyone else's

I'm not Gina Ford!!

Historically, possibly. These days, not so much.

Yabvu. I am Christian and that couldn't be further from the truth.

I could easily make such a rash comment about atheist who seem to think its fine to throw abuse at anyone with a faith - but I know that isn't the case for all.

Yes, had you said some Christians, I'd have said yanbu. But as you just said "Christians", yabu.

Someone hold her down and I'll get the duct tape!

:o

YANBU i get hounded by christian flyers, preachers and people walking around with bibles all the time.

They knock on doors and asked my friend to recite from a bible to them. There is a definite superiority complex with it.

BUT its not just them other reliogions can be just as bad only i've never seen them walking round town or knocking on doors.

Oh dear

If you are a Christian, you are not being unreasonable. If you are of another faith, you will probably think that your faith is the best. I do not think that you are a Christian because you described them as other people by your use of the word 'their' and not 'our'.

There are pretentious self entitled twats In every corner of society, christianity is no exception.

I'm just glad it's not the Christians not the menz being persecuted today.

my first today

No more so than to state that mumsnetters think they are always right. It really depends on who you speak to. Of course Christians believe they are right to believe in God, but I don't know any who would try to force their beliefs on to anyone else (there's a difference between force and convince).

Yer next Gin.

Not your usual standard. Try again.

Seeker you dolt, you forgot the all-important word 'some'.

Want to start again on the assumption you didn't mean quite such a generalisation?

I'd have said 'some religious people....' -

Some christians certainly do. Their historical privileges in our society are so engrained they take them for granted, they don't always realise how 'entitled' their attitudes are.

So - what in particular is winding you up right now?

Yes YABU

But sirzy, we don't make you practise atheism at school. Children have to pray to a Christian god at school unless they opt out.

Can you force anyone to pray? I doubt it, certainly not with it having any true meaning.

You also pick up on the key point that that aspect of the day can be opted out of.
