THEISTS: ATHEISTS, YOU NEED TO RESPECT GOD

I have always seen theists demand respect and space from atheists should a contention or a Facebook post regarding theism crop up.

I don't know why theists make it a point to ascertain atheists respect religions when they defile atheism in a flagrant fashion. I assume maybe that God is so weak, he needs his worshipers to support him. Else, the celestial heavens will crumble.

The only way to make sense out of this is putting forth the fact that theists have an emotional attachment with god and religion. Keyword: LOVE. In relation with that, let's correlate that theists give god parental status. After all, in Hinduism, there is a line that sounds like this:

Maatha (mother), pitha (father), guru (teacher/guru), deivam (god).

The gist of the list above is that one should revere and pay obeisance in the descending order. Mother first, god 4th and last on the list. So, God is an entity that needs to be loved and it won't be wrong to say theists indulge in it.

So, like how one gets offended when someone belittle his/her parents, theists get offended at the slightest blasphemy. It won't be wrong to say that the terms 'blasphemy' and 'sacrilege' were coined out of overflowing love over God.

Atheists can be likened to orphans - they don't have a parental (God) attachment. So if theists mock atheists for being orphans, and at the same time demand that they respect their parents (God) it rubs off as bullying illogically.

As orphans, atheists are more hardy and sturdy than theists as well as more cynicism resistant while atheists be insecure, paranoid weaklings. 

Atheists being stoic and tough does not mean they are impervious to love - atheists love and celebrate life.

Love is inherent in humans; the ability to hate and discriminate is taught - it is not innate.

If theists say that atheists need to respect God then theists should respect the godlessness of atheism.

It works both ways buddy. Wink, wink..
