[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, I think--oh! there's the doorbell again! Oh! It's those goldarn atheists going door to door with their pamphlets again!

Nope, never happens. And when I have gone to their services I have not been squeezed into a corner to hear someone tell me that it's ok I was raised Lutheran, I can still get saved from my ignorance. Wait, they don't HAVE services (well, there are Unitarians who may be atheists, and there are some secular humanism organizations that have a weekly fellowship, but the worst I've ever dealt with at my own Unitarian church is the goofy lady in her 70's who believes in crop circles, I don't even bother to steer her right).

Now, if you mean the people who post on comment forums and whatever sneering about the magic old man in the sky, I find them annoying as well.[/quote]

I totally wish this were true. But. My brother-in-law is one of those obnoxious atheists who challenges everybody in person. No need for atheist services: when he comes to my parties, he corners my friends and out of the blue, with no preliminaries whatsoever, asks them whether they believe in God. He publicly and totally nailed the one non-white person at one of my parties--she's Catholic--and it was toe-cringing. At another party he asked if we could go around the table and say whether we believed in anything.

I've met others like him. And I've heard about others like him.

Then there are the folks at work who drop the occasional, but mercifully short, sneer about religion.

I'm just trying to set PP's cozy little scenario straight, so please don't try to twist this into something about me having a victimhood complex.  (And for the record, DCUM's atheists have a pretty big victimhood complex too.)[/quote]

I agree your BIL is obnoxious, but no more so than Christians who act the same way. Can someone haul him into a corner and slap him around?
