While reading the news coverage of the vigil, I see countless comments by strident atheists mocking everything about faith and God, from MSNBC to CNN to Huffington Post...everywhere.  Who are these people?  Why are they spending their time in the wake of this tragedy smugly proclaiming people of faith to be fools?  [/quote]

My small request to anyone who is tempted to proclaim the atheist gospel to give it a rest for now.  Show some respect.  If you have no words of comfort, just don't say anything at all.[/quote]

I get it, you're religious and you don't want people being disrespectful.

But the problem is that there any many, many religious people who go around being disrespectful every day to the non-religious and you turn a blind eye on it.  Only when it affects you personally do you object.  The religious question and badger the non-religious daily ranging from including religious phrases in everyday speech to proselytizing to condemnation (and mockery) for non-belief.  I find the quietly respectful religious to be the most admirable, and yet they are seemingly few and far between.

There is a phrase "the pot calling the kettle black" with which you might want to familiarize yourself.  Yet another religious hypocrite.[/quote]
