[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t think this is true. Suspect you are the one coming at people with religious expectations, and they reply to your trying to push your beliefs onto others. You then claim they are trying to convert you....no, they are explaining why they do not share your beliefs. I can’t think of any situations where my religious belief (or lack thereof) comes up in my conversations with others in general. [/quote]

Here is a sample conversation I have had many times with atheists:

Atheist: Where do you live?
Me: In X, right near Y and Z.
Atheist: Really? Do you like it?
Me: Yeah, I can walk to the grocery store, the movies, my church, even my job...”
Atheist: Church? Inserts derogatory, stereotypical comment about Christianity.
Me: That’s uncalled for.
Atheist: You’re the one who brought up religion.[/quote]

Filed under: never happened.

Hardline Christians seek out offense everywhere, and when they can’t find it, they resort to Persecuted for Mah Faith fan fiction. [/quote]

It has happened four different times. The wording is not exact each time, but the pattern is. The offensive comments are usually supposed to be humorous, I guess, but there’s nothing funny about pedophile priests or pastors with private jets.

I don’t feel persecuted, but it does make me wonder why any mention of religion is offensive to some atheist. If I’m just mentioned that I live near my church, how have I harmed you?[/quote]
