Atheists and attacking/vehemently questioning others' faith

[skadistic]

'Sup guyz?

Jim Jones?

edit - noncon, who's that?

Jim Jones, my friend.

Sometimes a picture will put forwards an argument much more neatly and concisely than words.

Agreed, but can't yet google pictures, have to have a word associated with them - I hadn't heard of him before..

Athiests tend to be a little more scientific about creation, and science is based on proof, and we see little or no proof in the Creationists tale. And we find it irritating that they refuse to listen to us and propose the same questions again and again.

You don't know Jim Jones?

Basically nutcase Christian forms cult, gains gathering, and runs off to mountains, completly isolating themselves from the world (and the evil, corrupting liberal media and tv).
They kill a US senator, and then all commit suicide.


Just imagine what would have happened had thye been exposed to the influence of liberals.

Atheists who attack another persons religion are fool's who cannot accept that another person has different views, opinions and beliefs then himself. usually quite agressive too.

They should be ignored or mocked

I just wiki'ed him - I loved how it said

occupation: cult leader

Oh it would've been ugly, no doubt. Mandatory purple diapers as head scarves, toothbrush sharing..

Fred said it.

I'd like to add a footnote to his point. If you reli-guys stay out of non-reli business like gay-marriage, stem cell research, politics, education, history before 6000 years ago etc. then I will solemly swear to not attack nor vehemently question others' faith.

Oh come now!

First of all, any gay couple can marry if they want.

Stem cell research is legal, Christians just don't want their tax dollars to pay for it.

Politics? You must be kidding. People always vote with their value system.

Education? Anti-religion is taught in the schools! It is full of liberal anti-West, anti-Christianity.

That is absurd to think otherwise!

And Jim Jones was tossed out of the Christian Church!

What about religious people who cannot accept that some of us have different views and are quite aggressive too? Also, telling us we have no morals, make broad sweeping accusations about us needing religion or calm in our souls, the need burning inside us flaming our hatred towards all ye religious?

Spoiler :

Wrong!!!!!!!!!!!

I accept that everyone has the right to say, believe, and think whatever they damn well please, and I know it's not my place to make them change, I merely state my point of view.

And it's statements like your last one that encourages the aggressiveness in our responses to the religious. And most things that are seen as acts of God, like when people see heaven when they're near death, are actually quite explainable phenomena.

Point me to the part of the tax code were a gay person can pass their estate to their "spouse" with a full exemption from estate taxes? I can certainly point you to where a straight person could.

I'm not religious, that is merely the way I have seen people acting towards the religious

What if my view is that religion was wrong? Does that make me a fool?

Sure it is

Are constently forcing it down their throats? or pointing out and many occasions how they are weak-minded morons who believe in fairy tales?

I will ask you to read the bolded part below (in McManus' quote), I grant you that is says religious people make sweeping generalizations, but your statement I placed in the spoiler would fit into the category of "sweeping generalization":

==========================================================

That was an incredibly sweeping generalization you made, as I am very accepting of people with different views, opinions and beliefs. I merely voice my own, so that I'm heard.

Yes, that explains all the mandatory church going taking place in my school..

anti-west? what do you mean by that? I don't see schools attempting to make students Confucianist or things like that.

bit late but...

From now on, could people identify wether or not they are Atheists? It would be a real help.

[joke]Maybe they should wear armbands or something...[/joke]

In this paragraph you make the insinuation my statement encourages aggressiveness in "our" responses to the religous. But I said I am not religous, therefore how would my response encourage that? should it not encourage agressive responses to agnostics and your athiests?

Anti religion is not taught in school, school is a government funded program, thus separation of church and state makes it so. They don't force you to believe in evolution in Bio or whatever, they give you Evolutions side of the story and lets you choose. (FYI, most of the other side of the story was learned in CCD classes and that).
