This is why I hate people who hate "fucking christians"

[*Deidre*]

I don't. It is utter bullshit to make such generalizations. The chief thing atheists and theists have in common is being human, and that covers a lot of territory.

WTF???!!!

Does any one here actually keep sheep? What a crock.

What this guy says.

Might as well ask if men are more violent than women. We all have it in us.

What a sheepish comment

I think he's trying to pull the wool over our eyes.

What's there to find out? One doesn't believe in a deity and, bam, he/she's an atheist! Nothing beyond that...unless you know something we don't.

Yes....I've actually read some of the de-conversion stories and your post is highly ignorant of how difficult it was for many here to turn to atheism.

How thoughtful of you. Being an atheist and admitting it are two different things, sure. My deconversion process was no picnic, but the concept of atheism isn't some super profound idea...unless you know something we don't.

[Minimalist]

Ha Ha Ha, yeah sure. People base their inner doubts on how misbehaved unconvinced people are.. Right.. Citation seriously needed..

Just ask min and cijin how many people they have driven away from finding out about atheism.

Not my problem, asshole. If you want to believe in stupid fairy tales, be my guest. Just expect to catch some shit for it.

[Bad Writer]

I don't know why he's worried. Not all non-believers are going to get along. Being friends with Min is not a prerequisite to seeing that there's no Yahweh or Allah.

And seriously, Polaris. If the only reason you still believe in a deity is because of min, then keeping to a religion is only one of many problems you face.

As a Christian, I see those people who say they hate Christians as a blessing....they turn countless people away from turning to atheism.

Yep. Theres something repulsive about hate clubs.

You two are free to find the door out anytime...

Do you agree with the above, that atheists are, on the whole, less violent in relative terms compared to humans who profess biblical theistic religion?

It is silly to think that there is anything about the mind's deciding there isn't enough evidence of gods that would become a trigger for violence.

It is NOT silly to think that theists' beliefs in purported commands from god could become a trigger. We see religious violence daily all around the world.

And a whole lot of violence which owes nothing to religion, or when religion is merely an excuse. Atheism is rarely used an excuse, but that does not mean that atheists are all ghandi types.

Why? Is there a sign on the door declaring this place full of haters?

I think you owe all the non-haters an apology for your inference that if I don't like hate clubs then I should leave.

[Mister Agenda]

If you don't like where you are and you don't leave, it's on you. Christians who come to atheist forums and whine about their reception turn countless people away from Christianity.
