  • Also they act like dicks to everybody that doesn't believe the same as them.... this is what I have come across. Don't tell me that is inner peace.


  • Could have something to do with legislation of your religious beliefs...


  • Shut up you absolute moron, you still havent learnt that its spelt AthEist from your last question


  • Why are you a bigot? I am not assuming such a thing. You are the one generalizing here.


  • If you just mention, anything to do with Jesus just the name people freak out. I have run across so many people that you mention one word they stat saying you are tring to cram that **** down my throat. And they get angry about it, but then I have known some Christians that just wont stop talking untill thay get a clear answer about what people think.

    So I can see their point to a certian extent, but not all of the time, There are people that just see a cross, and they freak out, or a track, But if you read your bible you are told what to do about these people and also that they will be around.


  • I know! How dare us mean atheists try and force you super duper christians to accept homosexual marriage as a civil right.


  • "In god we trust". "one nation .. under god.. indivisible"... blue laws.. trying to force the teaching of creationism as science... presidential candidates who claim evolution never happened..

    gay marriage laws.. laws on what people can watch on TV.. or buy in a store.. prayer in schools.. christmas celebrated in school over any other belief... nativity scenes on public property.. crosses in cemetary entrances that hold the dead of other faiths..etc. etc.. etc

    need I go on?

    The difference is.. the atheists are not trying to push their beliefs down anyone's throats.. all we are asking is neutrality


  • Why are you continuing to ask idiotic, mean questions? I will now act like a "dick" to you since you are harping on silly things. You want to debate? Ask a real question then.


  • Judge no lest you be judged.... Not to Christ-like.


  • Apparently you don't know what the word "assume" means, dick.


  • Because you so called religious nutters are F*cking IDIOTS


  • Some Christians do try to shove beliefs down their throats, but that's no reason to take it out on innocent bystanders.


  • When was the last time you saw atheists going door to door trying to convert people? When was the last time you saw atheists going to foreign countries trying to convert people?

    Never!


  • I presume they get points for it because all Fundies consider it their duty to convert Atheists and they all reckon they have the means to do it - but that belief comes from the same place of foolishness as their gullibility in believing the InvisibleSkyPixie myths comes from.

    Damned if I know why they feel they need to convert us .... they call it 'save us' by trying to shove their beliefs down our throats?
    They sure don't know enough about ...
    I'm sick of this.

    [edit]

    SuperAtheist said;
    "But religion keeps on trying to mess with my life, and the lives of those around me.

    Just stop the interference in laws, politics, medicine, science, reproduction, education, sexuality and war, and I'll say no more about it."

    I agree.


  • Because they are. There's more to 'shoving beliefs down someone's throat' than preaching or trying to convert them. I don't mind that much.

    But religion keeps on trying to mess with my life, and the lives of those around me.

    Just stop the interference in laws, politics, medicine, science, reproduction, education, sexuality and war, and I'll say no more about it.

  • Because this week alone I've had Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses and three other Christian groups come knocking on my door. If that's not trying to convert me what is?

    On numerous occasions on this site and in the real world I have been told that me and all other Atheists are going to hell again shoving their beliefs down my throat.


  • Over generalization? When have I ever even cared if you believe as I do? Jeez.


  • Being disrespectful towards someone Else's beliefs, is nothing new, it's one our many flaws as humans.

    There are Christians and Atheists on this forum for example, who do nothing but insult each other, it's called immaturity and inability to accept the fact that we by our very nature will subscribe to different beliefs as individuals.

    Neither group is innocent when it comes to intolerance, intolerance is universal.

    If someone has strong religious beliefs, they're not going to be swayed by the ramblings of an Atheist to believe otherwise. Likewise, if someone has strong Atheist beliefs, they're not going to be swayed by the ramblings of some religious zealot.

    There are those who are comfortable with their own beliefs and find no need to disrespect someone else. I for one can accept the fact that not everyone will think like me and I see diversity as something positive, not negative.


  • Would you like to see all my emails from so-called christians? Don't tell me about shoving.


  • Did we say we had inner peace? That's the motto of the religious, not us necessarily.

    Personally, I don't assume everyone is trying to shove their belief down my throat; I think the ones who talk about it are going about their own business.

    Its the ones that use lines like, "To be saved you must be part of (X religion)" and "I distrust anyone who isn't an (X religion)" that want everyone to be part of their beliefs.


  • Keep your religion out of my government, public schools, scientific advancement, medical research, and my body and we won't have a problem, K?


  • Two words...


    Fundie lobbyists


  • boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring,..............


  • Good question, I'd like to know myself


  • For the same reason you assume that all atheists act like dicks to everybody that doesn't believe the same as them.
