[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some religious people just want atheists to go away.[/quote]

Well when Christians try to share the good news with you, which is literally a central piece of our religious practice you get all offended. And obviously the same is true when your non-belief dictates that you should proselytize your atheism to convert others….so there will be a natural clash.
The difference is that [b]in my worldview, [/b]it is actually harmful to cause others to fall away from Christ. And in your worldview—it makes no difference whether someone believes or not because the result is the same.
So I just don’t understand the motivation on Team Atheist that causes you to agitate for sport.[/quote]

Can you understand that others are not interested in your worldview?  Your belief does not affect how others think or act.

With this forum though, it's kind of amazing that people post ABOUT atheists, and then get offended when atheists post.

OK but what about the questions like the one about helping kids sit through church where the atheists came in and just hijacked the thread with many (now deleted) posts that were simply attacking the OP and anyone who had the nerve to think that it was a good idea to have their children in church?[/quote]

So long as your beliefs impact things like how sex ed is taught in schools, the ability of a person to choose what happens inside their body, or blatant attemps to perpetuate the brainwashing by including the Bible, ten commandments, or any other religious item in schools, then I will argue that parents should be faulted for forcing their children into believing into myths and continuing the cycle. When believers leave us alone, I'll leave them alone. [/quote]
