Nah, I'm a 'walls' kinda fella. I had some Theists tell me that I should be burned alive or gassed to death for my Atheism and as I understand it there are even those who'd try to slice my head off with a rusty bread knife if afforded the opportunity.
I guess that I might consider a draw-bridge as a compromise but I'd send you across first if you'd be cool with that...
Doesn't rustle my jimmies one way or the other.
I live in Central Texas openly as an atheist, and I've never once had any believer express to me that I should be burnt alive or gassed. Never once since I've moved back here has anyone told me even that I'll burn in Hell. My experiences don't comport with yours, but it's my experiences that guide my attitudes, and yours that guide you. I'm not sure where you live but it sounds like the people there just ain't very friendly. That can understandably lead to the bitterness that permeates your sentiments as expressed in this thread ... but even so, ought you not question the generalizations you're making?
