Why is society so bigoted these days?

[Strawberry Banana Sundae]

I’ve been constantly intimidated by the rest of society. I feel when I speak up about a controversial topic, I get a lot of backlash from a lot of people. It always seems that bigots get the last say and the ones who run their trap the most. Don’t matter how I say it, they come tearing me to shreds. Don’t matter if I call them out, they’ll use so many excuses such as the “law” to defend their actions. Every time this happens to me, it makes me wish I’d kept quiet. I’m not even bothering to reply to them especially here. I just report and block them. They can run their mouths all they like, but they’d best leave me out of this trash.

Snowflake generation. Can't say or do this and that any more. To hell with that. I say what I feel like saying. If people don't like it, it is them that have the problem, not me. We should be allowed say what we are thinking. As long as we are not attacking any one person. We all have our views on certain things. We should be allowed to speak up. Not be made walk on egg shells. Just in case Mary or little Johnny are offended.

And your opinion on bigots who are religious?

Bigot—one who is prejudiced or antagonistic against another because of their beliefs, etc. It would seem you may fall into that category yourself as you seem to be antagonistic toward Christians. If the shoe fits.... Right now it seems you are your own worst enemy. If you are trying to validate yourself, you are going about it in a harmful way toward yourself. You have nothing to prove to anyone but yourself. The rest of us can walk away from you but you have to live with you. Learn to love and accept yourself and all these other things will not be so worrysome .

I have to agree with MATD. In all your posts you seem to have a victim complex. Everyone is causing you problems. Now please don't take this the wrong way, it is not intended to harm but to help. Can you stand back and take an objective and impartial view of things and events and above all, people? Anxiety is so often caused by discontent. Your views on religion are yours, and have to be respected. They may not be mine, but that is irrelevant. Real Christianity is based on love. Now what can be wrong about that? In a strange paradox atheists can give unconditional love too. We are human and have the choice of loving or hating. Like all religions Christianity has become distorted by those who seek power over others. Christ's teaching have been misinterpreted and often distorted out of all recognition. Now that is sad because people can become the victims of false beliefs. Christians should not set out to convert others. We should never try and force anyone into our beliefs. Real love is not confined to just Christians, not by any means. But love needs to be unconditional, no strings attached and practised for its own sake. The last words of Christ to his disciples were, 'Love one another as I have loved you, love one another'. If only the world would do that what a happy place it would be!

Not everybody will hold your opinions on everything. You might believe one thing. Then another thing. Who is right and who is wrong? You think you are right. They think they are right. In each of your minds you are both right. But I am not into people who push certain views on others. Live and let live.

I entirely agree. No one should attempt to force anyone into a belief that they find objectionable. Religion has been responsible for so much pain both physical and emotional over the centuries. But when I speak about Christianity I believe that a man was born who knew a thing or two about humans and the need for love. This is not by any means confined to Christians. Live and let live. Yes, absolutely!

Have you realized that you have a massive victim complex? This is a mental health forum, it’s okay to admit that, but you seem not to notice it at all. This may be hard to hear but your problems aren’t caused by Christians or bigots, they’re most likely caused by your own mental problems.

Why is society so woke now?
Whatever issue you have this isn't the place to stir things up and poison the minds of hurting people.
There is gay people here, Christian people just people in general who are all affected by mental health issues
No drama or politics just help and advice.

Yes, but I cannot stand when people use politics as advice to convince me that their ways are right and mine are wrong. You’re quite mistaken on what I’m trying to imply. How am I poisoning people’s minds by telling people to be more aware on what they say on lgbtq? I can’t stand any kind of lgbtq hate, whatever kind of hate is wrong. I don’t care if it’s the law or what, this is no place to disrespect others based on their beliefs. I think you’d be best if you call out those who are actually ARE doing the wrong thing. It don’t matter what mental health we’re struggling with, that doesn’t give us an excuse to be an ass. Would you treat or say anything awful about something you are not familiar with just because someone else is and you’re opposed by?

Oh Dearie me! We all have our opinions and it is right that we are able to express them on here, but in a kind and considerate way.
Words can be as hurtful as actual physical harm, perhaps even more so. This site is full of kind people, yes everyone! There are bound to be differences of opinion, but we can take them in the spirit of love and caring. Anxiety sufferers can get angry at times. Angry with ourselves. Let's not upset things by being too pushy in our views.

Many people are opinionated and I would not take it personally.

I have been a long time CPA and I have had clients tell me I am not correct even if I show them information directly from the IRS website. A few times when they have gotten on my nerves, I will ask them where did they get there accounting degree from? That usually stops them in their tracks.
