One is offended by religion, the other one by calling his/her religion BS.
At the end of the day with freedom comes responsibility. Just because you
have freedom of speech doesn't necessarily mean you can say what you want.
You have the responsibility to think of what you are saying to who you are
saying it to.
I live in a country where we have freedom of speech, but where human rights
are more important than freedom of speech. My human right not to be offended
by your believes, racial prejudice and/or political status is much more
important than your human right to make your believes, racial prejudice
and/or political status public.
This topic keeps coming up way to often, so cannot we just ask everyone to
respect everyone else and remove all signatures indicating believes, racial
prejudice and/or political status from signatures. If you really have the
need to discuss this with someone else, go to a list with an appropriate
topic.
This is a SuSE list. This is not a political or religious or philosophical
list. Keep it to the topic (i.e. discussions related to SuSE Linux).
