Just because she’s an atheist doesn’t make it right to make her feel unsafe or unwanted.

WWJD? Well, burn her in hell for eternity. For not believing in him. That IS what the bible says. Right? I don’t see how adding rape to eternal burning torture makes it any worse that what Jesus supposedly said if he actually existed.

-FA

If one of her classmates said “I’m going to rape and torture you” then it would obviously be punished as criminal behavior. If one of her classmates knew she was to be raped and tortured and did nothing to prevent it, they would also be prosecuted as an accomplice for failing to report the events.

So explain to me again why “My imaginary friend will rape and torture you” is protected and shouldn’t be prosecutable harassment? Whether you threaten someone or use a supernatural third party to do the threatening should be treated the same way. Your personal religious insanity isn’t a magical “get out of civilized obligations free” card that you can wave around whenever you see fit.

Let’s drop the act and stop pretending like threats of physical or emotional trauma are protected religious speech - it’s just a cowardly way of threatening someone because you’re admitting that you hope someone else does it for you.

About

I do lots of things. I'm kind of weird that way.

First and foremost, I'm the Director of Content Partnerships at Blip, where you can discover the best in original web series.

Before that, I ran a consulting company focused on entertainment and government entities called Spytap Industries. In a previous life I helped create United Talent Agency's online division - the first major agency division devoted to representing and monetizing online content.

I also contribute to Here's Some Awesome, a collaborative video curation site that showcases the awesome in online video.

From time to time I write essays on topics of interest from politics, to the future of mass media, to the effects that online content and piracy are having on traditional media. They normally go here. (Latest example: "On Bullying")

This is my personal blog, So while it probably doesn't need to be said, all of the opinions here are solely my own or those of the people I reblog.
