    I flagged your post because you are targeting atheists with libel and slander and falsehoods. (hate speech from my perspective) Freedom of speech includes the freedom to condemn anyone else's opinions or ideas. You are obviously free to disagree with me since it's clearly obvious that you do. So should only YOU have freedom of speech but not me or anyone else that disagrees with your opinions? Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences or rebuttals.

      Hate speech? Now YOU are the one who libels! I would highly recommend you just leave; otherwise, I may consider cleaning up my comments section from all your spam garbage.

        Did your post really have the intent to be honest about and treat atheists with any level of actual respect? Or were you just hating on atheists because they don't believe what you believe? If you were just spreading hatred of atheists, then THAT is HATE speech. How hard is that for you to understand? This is my final post to you unless you really want to discuss this further. I hope we can all learn to be more tolerant and honest in our interactions with each other. Thanks and goodbye! :)

          Is this true @lundgreenman?
          If so, that is bad form.

          From the Etiquette Guide mentioned n the Steemit FAQ

          #14) Don't flag content just because you disagree or don't like it
          This is a big issue and I'm sure some people will disagree with it but I think the majority of the community agrees that the flag issue is for posts which are harmful or abusive and should not be used as a dislike or downvote button. Don't like something? Post a comment explaining why or if you can't be bothered to do that or don't have the time move on.

          I'm fairly new here on Steemit, so I don't know if you can unflag something. If you can, and if you flagged this @bullishmoney post, you should remove it.

          And yes, the author of the guide @thecryptofiend states

          ...these ARE guidelines not RULES.

          • So you are free to do as you please, but...
            • Not that you care, but if you don't, I will no longer hold a conversation with you. Sorry, I agree with the Guide on this point.

            If you click on the flag, you will see that one of the reasons they state for a valid use of it is when you believe a post to be hate speech. I'm fine if you disagree with me but try to see it from my perspective. What if I wrote the same post but you swapped out the word atheist for Christian and then ask yourself if you would or would not consider it hate speech? Thanks for your honesty and I'm well aware of Steemit etiquette and don't flag things just because I disagree with something or don't like it. You can check my record and see that I have only ever flagged things RARELY so it's not like I'm rudely flagging people for no good reasons. Thanks for your input and opinions! :)
