Being invited to share your experiences and then discovering that you have shared something very personal in a setting where your very personal experiences will be "vehemently disagreed" with by multiple people?
Being told that something which happened to you could not possibly have happened, that's bullying whether or not the bullies are specific about what this 'falsehood' says about you.
I'm sure someone may come back with something to the effect of "god denial is not as bad as rape denial," and you're right there, it is indeed a lesser form of douchebaggery, so I guess you can pat yourself on the back for that.
Meeting someone who doesn't agree with you on the internets is NOT - having your locks hacked off if you are Sikh. It is not having bacon stuffed in your locker if you are Muslim. It is NOT having your head felt for horns. It is not being yanked to your feet during the pledge if you are JW. Those are all things that happen because "we are a Christian Nation" with a specific definition of what that means. If you want outrage there's plenty to be found - but you are NOT going to find it by selectively looking only at the parts you like, or pulling a "we're all assholes" blanket gesture.
