So no, religious people are not the only ones with a valid excuse to call out others.
No-one has, in common circumstances, that right. Not theists, not atheists.

People, in general, don't have the right to call others out?

That's just silly, you're basically saying that everyone is allowed to hold onto illogical opinions without copping some flak because that might hurt their feelings. It doesn't matter if the doctor offends you with their diagnosis, they're still trying to help.

In common circumstances, in regards to religion, people should not feel they have the right to tell a person that they feel that their opinion, their heritage-borne beliefs, are wrong. If they saw a person use their belief as grounds to perform an action that is morally questionable, then they have every right to "call them out". But not for having an opinion you disagree with.

Yes violence should never enter the scenario, but I disagree, believes formed through heritage and tradition deserve to be criticized the most. They tend to be the imprinted opinion of someone else rather than one formed through some sort of personal enlightenment.

you're never going to expand your mind and learn new things if you don't open it to other ideals. I agree that you shouldn't call people out just to be mean, but you also shouldn't close your mind off to outside influence

But is it really your responsibility to educate an individual in a subject that they already feel content with? Especially, and most commonly, in what can simply be described as an argument where the atheist will assert their utter correctness just as blindly as the theist will?

In most cases where an athiest says something, they back it up with scientific research, in which theists don't do because there isn't any research that I am aware of.

I don't think it's right that people close off their minds to learning. It's tragedy, if you ask me.
But I won't bring up the subject every time we're together or talk about it all the time. I will let them know that I'm here to talk about whatever they want concerning religion and I'll give my ideas if they ask. But cornering them and forcing down their throats, no.

I'm not big on religious arguments but, I'm More agnostic than atheist and this video explains it perfect. Just about everything the man says is a contradiction. I believe the bible is invalid. If there is a god, I don't believe he approves the views of the bible. Every verse has a similar contradiction and is written by men. I have always been open to the chance of a god, but I seek further proof. This view on religion is completely false and invalid. Those accepting this view are looking for an easy way to explain why they don't go to church. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't religion your sole view on a particular way to live life. I feel the bible is more or less instructions. If I ever convert back to believing in a god, I will never call myself a christian. Christianity is full of separation, and completely destroys the basis of Christianity. Christianity is supposed to be worshipers who come together and express their undying love for god. Now please note that I have mixed my opinion in on this post and it is not strictly fact although a lot of it is inferred information and fact.

Aren't the savage and hateful verses from the Old Testament and not from the New Testament? I can't recall a passage in which Jesus can be seen as being morally wrong/invalid even in today's ethics. It's not to say there isn't any room for interpretation of passages but can he really be called evil now?

What always confuses me is how people can disregard the old testament in favor of the new one yet believe both are the workings of god. If you think the old testament does not represented the works of god then why the hell should the new testament? If both are indeed the works of god then god is a loathsome tool.

Because it's from Jesus. Fits your morale and what you seek in life. Perhaps in olden days did the Old Testament do well for others but the revamping of it had to come or else God would have stuck with the Old testament.
