Well, I just misread the "introductions" forum as "indoctrinations". Then I realized either is fine in this case.

This type of anger is expressed all the time. Anger at the design of the world aimed at the Designer (in theory).
So it seems to me a lot of Atheists are angry at God.
You know, it is possible to point out a flaw in something without being angry about said flaw.
Like the flaws in your logic. Those don't make me angry at all. In fact, they make me laugh sometimes.

The "anger" is never at the pretense of a designer, it's at morons can't seem to see all of the shit that belies a designer. The selective pattern seeking that makes you so sure the world was designed is your evolved brain. In reality, the only portions of the cosmos that are hospitable to life are a negligible portion of the whole. There are so many terrible design flaws all around us (and within us) that even a middle schooler could design a better version.
Don't confuse our anger at people like you with anger at your imaginary friend, MK.
The question is, "But are you angry at the middle schooler?"
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity.

greetings.
My curiosity on your introduction is this....
What "misunderstandings" do you suppose happened to make "us" turn away from the ever present and ubiquitous teachings (at least in America) of Christianity?
May we have many more conversations.

Assumptions, assumptions, assumptions.
Introductions is not the place for arguing, so I won't bother answering your bullshit, but be aware, it's bullshit. Open a non-DeepakChopraSpeak thread demonstrating your claim with reputable sources aqnd solid evidence, and we'll have a discussion.
Or, alternatively, shut yer fuckin' puehole.

Quote:You know, it is possible to point out a flaw in something without being angry about said flaw.
But when you are angry at believers for believing in God (not all Atheists are, but many seem to be) for the supposed flaw, it seems you are angry at the idea of God due to your anger at the flaw and angry at them for that idea (God).
Language is often filled with expressions, they aren't so suppose to grammatically perfect expressions all the time.

I know you guys are probably unhappy, and wounded, angry at God, angry at the world.
It makes me so sad to hear that 
But I am here.. to give a positive voice to Christianity. I am sure many of you grew up religious but fell away ( due to a misunderstanding or something...)
So... Lets find out about eachother  !
Far from poefect... *ahem*, sorry, perfect in your delivery there, TC.
Greetings, I suppose.
