[quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingAtheist][quote=Anonymous]But I am a Christian.  You don't convert anyone by slapping them for showing the slightest curiosity in our traditions.  Here are people who don't have any connection to God, but they have some interest in our exercise of self-examination and discipline.  That's a step.  Whether it is a step toward God or a step toward tolerance and acceptance, who knows.  But it is an opportunity for someone to appreciate our values.

So what do you go and do?  Piss on them for doing it.  Then, when I point out how you ranters just did the same thing at Christmas, you decide I am the enemy.  Nope.  When I said "you", I mean you judgmental Christians who are not living your faith.  What would your priest or minister say of the things you have written in the name of our religion?  You would be ashamed if they knew it was you.  Christians are supposed to lead by example.  When someone approaches us about our traditions, we should be showing them what they mean to us.  And almost every religion has a tradition of atonement.  It is something that can bind us together.  Don't ruin it by making a mockery of the time of forgiveness and renewal. [/quote]

I think if all Christians were as decent as you seem to be, there might be fewer atheists.[/quote]

Totally agree with RA on this.[/quote]
