Imposing one's personal religious views on others is a douchebag thing to do. I didn't call you a douchebag, I called the proponents of 102 douchebags. Which, IMO, they are.

Again, IMO, religions have some douchebag views. The bible also promotes slavery, says that people with dark skin are cursed, etc. Once upon a time, it was used to promote oppression of black people. It's no longer kosher to do so, so those parts are overlooked. It's still ok to oppress gays, so the anti-gay parts of the bible are waved around. In fifty years, they'll be glossed over as well.

That being said, I know a few people who manage to be religious while taking what they find useful from their book of choice and leaving the rest. I respect that you don't want to inflict your views on others, but that doesn't mean I don't think those views archaic and oppressive.

Also, douchebag is my new favorite word.
