NK you have only the bravery to insult Christians because you know that despite your anti-Christian rhetoric the harshest response is going to be just words.

If you were truly God hating atheist go to the above mentioned related websites and convince them that their God is like your FSM.

It takes no courage to insult Christians - it is politically correct in a lot of circles, because as a whole Christians see it just as that - insults from someone who believes differently.

Show me where I insulted christians.
And I'm not God hating, where did you get that idea?

By claiming there is no god we insult all religions equally. Really the only problem that I have with religion in general is when it holds back progress. So if a muslim joins you in saying that a certain theory that shall not be named for risk of flame war is wrong. I will tell them that they are wrong as well and if this was a Christian web site instead of a general help site I wouldn't be here either.

The reason why Christian get it the most is because you're the vocal majority and a few crazy people on your side is enough to make your religious ideas in to law. So we have to fight you or we would be you.

No you don't insult any religion. I don't think theists really care what athiests believe let alone take offense. I think atheist are the ones who take offense to other people's beliefs on the existence of God. Evident by the amount of athiests that spend hours on religious forums attempting to promote their beliefs by harassing thiests with condescending remarks. It funny how atheist claim not believe in or care about religion and yet most of the people on religions forums are athiests, day in, day out.. lol I find it ironic that's all.

There is nothing more intelligent or scientific about being an atheist vs being a theist because at the end of the day both possitions are based on faith. In my opinion atheism is actually quite the contrary. So don't try and equate atheism with progress because the two are independent of one other.

Sassy has seen right through us - yes atheism is indeed our religion. This now validates us to post in any and all religious forums. Since we don't congregate in houses of worship, atheism/agnosticism is mainly a personal choice, we are asking to be tax exempt per individual. I love my religion!

Well said Karma!

Speedball did you ever once think that you escorted 2 lives in and onlly one came out?

Box, No! I protected women's rights from those who would seek to control her decisions and make them for her. And in some cases I protected them physically from screaming protesters who attempted to prevent her from entering the clinic by force. I'm proud of being on the front lines for women's rights and now you can tell me what you did to further your cause.

If it were really true that most religious people didn't care what I did that would be great. That however is not the case I have at least once per month someone at my door trying to get me to worship their god. In several states I can not hold public office because of my beliefs. In schools religious groups are trying to make my children learn their beliefs. I can't even spend a dollar without being reminded that my belief takes a back seat to yours. Atheists that have made their beliefs public, receive death threats and are denied employement. The current president was raised to belief that Atheist should not be allowed to be patriots or citizens. So is it any wonder that we voice our opinion on the internet where the death threats and bigotry can not reach us in our personal lives.

I am sure if someone thought they could get all the athiests to donate 10 percent they would start putting up the buildings

Well you may have helped the abortion industry in their use of their brain washing to help escort ( or perhaps drag the poor baby who had no choice) past people who were merely trying to give them both sides of the information.

I have been there and saved the lives of dozens of babies by letting their mothers have a real choice by knowing all the facts.

And proud that I have helped close several of these death chambers.

Wik says about 80% of US population says they are Christian. That would imply that the US is a Christian nation, if all those people practiced rigid Chritian principles.
But the government has to operate independently of religion (at least I think we are supposed to) so since the actions of the government primarily define the US, we may not appear to be a Christian nation by our actions ( I don't mean that as a criticism of US, just a fact of managing a capitalistic country).
I think we are as close to being a Christian nation as the constitution allows but I can't say how well our people adhere to Christian principles (including myself). The Bible says something to the effect that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get to heaven--I don't think most Christian Americans are ready to do that but rather the opposite, we're capitalists and we're staying capitalists.

"Women's right - to abortion" - which is ending a life.

What have I done - contribute to local Pregnancy hope center. Have advised pregnant women that abortion is not the only option.

Adopted children. Wife is pushing to take care of foster children but we'll have to do our due diligence first.
