1) You did not present a viewpoint. You presented a baseless accusation formed on a paranoid delusion. See a psychiatrist.

2) The topic is not of religion. You chose it to be so, and when you were rebuffed, you respond with cries of persecution that still nauseate me.

Note that I am not supporting Jon Katz in any fashion. His articles were a series of rants about nothing. However, you take a minor literary item, and turn it into a Crusade on Slashdot. You are right however. Katz did not mention religion. Nor did he menton financial condition, bodily appearance, mental condition, etc. Should Katz have included all people of any age, race, gender, religion, height, weight, eye color, mental condition, financial condition, political power, no matter how many pets in their household?

Note that it is illegal to discriminate on age, race, or gender. It is not illegal to discriminate on a basis of religion or anything else.

We all discriminate. When we go shopping, we choose a newspaper stand that has cheaper prices, a shopping line with less people. Our daily lives and interactions contain discriminations of all sorts, and it is routinized so that it doesn't even register any more.

Maybe Jon Katz is atheist. Maybe he is anti-Christian. In the end, it doesn't matter. Religion isn't the question. It never was. The dominant atheist paradigm? It's there. It's the acceptance that everyone has different beliefs, and that this is not a forum for discussion of religion (and yes I am aware of the hypocrisy of the last statement). Slashdot is godless because we choose not to talk about it.

And in the end, your cry of persecution is pitiful. There are real people outside of your theocratical little world. And guess what, they aren't living in nice little houses with white picket fences. They die for their beliefs, and it isn't a martyrdom they enjoy. Suffering is real, and your petulant cries of persecution belittle the true victims out there.

I really have nothing left to say to you. I'm not even sure if you're still reading at this point, but take a deep breath yourself, take a look around, and then wake up.
