[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do so many of you come on to DCUM to trash christianity? And why don't you guys ever trash any other religions? I'm expecting the answer will involve something about "dominant cultures" but really, my specific question is this:

Why isn't respect a two-way street for many atheists? [/quote]

I don't know. I was a Christian and 90% of my friends are, so I don't trash it. Furthermore, I would never trash anyone else's beliefs.
 
I do believe that some "atheists" are merely reactionaries against religion. They seem to be the type who wore anarchy t-shirts in high school and dyed their hair purple in college, or have popular right-wing radio shows in late-mid-life (;)) -- reactionaries who thrive on discord and anger and who contribute more heat than light to the public discourse. I am not that type of person. I'm moral, liberal, and believe we can all benefit from learning about other religions and the values at the heart of those religions (even if we don't believe in the religions ourselves).[/quote]

Thanks for a thoughtful answer to my question![/quote]
