There is no god to show. There is no acceptable way to show me.
Quote:2. Do athiests hate God or do they hate organized religion in general?
Cannot hate what does not exist. Organized religion however, is the bane of humanity.
Quote:3. Why does it seem like athiests hate Jesus more than anyone, what do you think of Jesus?
I do not perceive any 'hate' of jesus. Just that he was nothing but a man.
Quote:4. Do any of you know athiests that have converted to another religion, did you feel swayed by their conversion?
Only one person and they are on this site, but I do not believe this person was evertruly an atheist.
Quote:5. Are you an athiest based on your research of many of the top religions, or does your athiesm come from a personal experience where you feel that God didn't show up like he should have?
I was raised a catholic, but never believed in a god. I tried and found that everything about it was logically incoherent with my worldview.
Quote:6. Since athiests don't believe in God and dislike when people force God on them, why do they force their negative and hateful opinions on Christians (and other religions) through mockery and verbal assault?
Why do they force their crap on us? If they want to believe in caveman superstitions from a collection of fairy tales put together in 400 some A.D., as long as it does not interfere with my life, have at it. The problem is that they feel they need to save us from ourselves and want to force their superstitions into our laws, our schools, our politics, our lives. As for "negative and hateful", see what kind of response you regularly get by not 'blessing' someone after a sneeze. Another is a family/friends get together and pick an atheist to say grace. One definitely sees some negativity from the xtians then. My response is "How very xtian of you. Thanks".
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
