Quote:Hopefully things will calm down some. Gilligan and myself have been on Yahoo Answers (R&S) and have seen the venom some atheists can spew at Christians. I myself have difficulty understanding why an atheist would be interested in religion unless it is to mock it.
I think that you will find that most atheists, at least the ones who bother to join forums like this, are very interested in religion. After all, it's a pretty dominant force in the world. For me, I'm interested because a) I like mythology, which is what I see religion as, and b) I constantly struggle to comprehend why anyone would 'literately' believe ancient stories written down millennia ago for which there is zero evidence.
And believe me, atheists don't have the monopoly on spewing venom..
