I only say those things because when anybody who says, "id pick your words carefully when it come to religion DPM, me being a christian and all.", is offending me to begin with, especially someone who is Christian. I don't care to "choose carefully" in order to proudly denounce "my religion", or lack thereof, simply because someone else doesn't think the same way that I do. I don't care about offending you regarding what I assume is the truth to what you think is the truth. You want to know why? Because at the end of the day, if you come and tell me that you are proud to be a Christian because you believe in the wisdom and the truth of the biblical literature - I won't be offended by it, and just the same, Christians who are offended by such a statement can honestly just GTFO and stay out of my business regarding my lack of Christian faith and not address me or others like me using terminology like this:
... because if you respond to me believing that I don't care about faith or biblical literature (and literature far preceeding) a great deal already than you are simply a simple-minded Christian who clearly believes that someone who denominates something as their religious values in the spectrum of Atheistic beliefs that they are basing those beliefs off of blind faith, just as a Christian would. If I were the kind of person to be that obnoxiously rude and inconsiderate of others, like I've been treated thus far, one may assume why I'd choose the words I've chosen so far, and if you haven't, then I encourage you to read into Egyptian, Roman, and Greek religious literature to understand how much of your blind faith is directly plagiarized from common religion predating "Jesus Christ" or perhaps research about how modern Christianity was constructed politically by a man named Constantine in order to keep people in line.
But... wouldn't want to upset the Christians. Better "choose my words carefully" before I say something that offends them... like encouraging them to read a different book about religion rather than the one that they were taught to believe by someone else who based their beliefs off of a book that THEY primarily developed their belief structure by simply because it's the tradition in your family.
Bottom line, you should develop your faith based on how it can make you a better person, no matter what your faith is, instead of falling back on it because it's what you've known your whole life. You should be in a position in which you can critically identify your surroundings. If you've come to the conclusion that Jesus Christ is your savior and you follow his word in the Bible, that's great if it helps you become a better person, but don't let your empirical beliefs get in the way of you being kind towards other faiths because in my opinion, being dead means you feel the exact same way you felt as when you weren't yet born and there is no afterlife, which is scary, but it's what I've come to terms with after being honest with myself and constructing years upon years of research dedicated into this subject matter, so I have already chosen and expressed my right to "choose my words carefully".
That is all. Carry on.
