Here's the deal Drich, I understand that you have a certain.. handicap for being a citizen of the US of A. Just because you are brought up in a culture where they feel the need to print on the zarf that the beverage is hot, doesn't mean that the rest of the world have to. I guess what I'm trying to say here is that we haven't put "play nicely with other members, without trying to emotionally blackmail them" into so many words, because WE FUCKING EXPECT PEOPLE TO BE DECENT WITHOUT HAVING TO SPELL IT OUT FOR THEM!.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

This is ridiculous! Why do Christians appeal to the New Testament? It's chock full of fallacious reasoning! I've written "A Guide to Atheism" on the cover and spline of my hot-pink bible! I'm going through and highlighting all the rubbish, and placing post-its in the margin that describe the absurd things I highlight... Look at this
John 14:11
Jesus says: "Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and The Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves."
What evidence of miracles do WE have? Jesus supports a standard of knowledge that is incompatible with his teachings! Judas seems to recognize this as a possible problem in the future, and asks...
John 14:22-23
"Judas said, "But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?"
"Jesus said, If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him."
AHHH! That doesn't answer the question. Why should WE believe Jesus at all? This doesn't answer ANYTHING! It just begs more questions!

That just sounds like Jesus speaking out in favor of homosexuality. What's so bad about that?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Homosexuality with a dash of something else.

And then later he has his disciples drink and eat Jesus. There is something really funky going on here.

Catholics deem it transubstantiantion or something like that (phew, big word). It is easier to go with a generic description: bullshit.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

A hot-pink bible! My girlfriend was going through our storage the other day. She dug this out. I converted her about 3 years ago. I thought this might be a fun project.
