I mean, really, if you believe God doesn’t exist, then why trouble yourselves with what Christians believe? I notice no one complains about Islam, Hinduism or Buddhism, and no one complains much about cults, just Christianity.
Religions have caused a huge amount of destruction, death and suffering over the centuries, and Christianity and Islam are by far the worst imo
Christianity just spread through Europe because it was the most violent, intolerant and destructive religion to come out of Europe. It destroyed every other European religion by forcing people under threat of death, and killing those that didn't.
Christians don't act this way now but I don't believe Christainity can ever not be a negative force on civilization while it is still around. Consider in the US how Christians are bigoted towards gays and stem cell research has been banned due to Christian beliefs.
I agree up to a point, some christians hate gays heck some christians hate other christians. Christ however has taught that we are to love all people. I have a real dislike for the gay life style, however I do not hate gays that would not be Christ like. As far as stem cell research goes you are trying to cloud the issue, christians are not against all stem cell research only fetal stem cell research and this has to do with abortion. We make decisions based on what we believe, just as others do.

Christians and Muslims happen to be top for ramming their religious bullshit down people's throats. Knocking on people's doors and preaching to them. Many threaten hell and more. Many atheists are shown heavy levels of intolerance and quite frankly, we have every reason to stand up and moan about it.
I've got nothing against Hinduism or Buddhism because they keep it to themselves. They don't threat, kill or show any intolerance. Nuf Said.
Also I lack belief, I'm not claiming that god don't exist. I just don't believe in such a thing.
Your right you have every right to make your feelings known and you guys do it well, I know. Actually if you guys would come out front more so others know what and how you think and believe then there might not be as many misunderstanding between christians and atheist. Frankly we do want people to know Christ loves them and has a plan of redemption and would we not be negligent and uncaring if we are right. The bold if is for you guys.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
