Not even a relevant question. Like a lot of theists, you seem to be mistaking having someone disagree with you, for being oppressed. Most of us here have theist family, theist friends and so on, and we manage quite happily with those. The fact that we disagree on this one single issue doesn't alter these relationships at all, which should be plenty to demonstrate that, if there is such a line, we aren't anywhere near crossing it.
Quote:I've got the impression atheists not only reject the reality of God, they are busy with oppressing those who do believe too.
Do you understand what a fatuous ninny you sound when you say things like this? There's a couple of threads here about a man who's been institutionalized in a mental home against his will simply because he's an atheist; that's actual oppression. Hell, if you're so completely lacking in empathy that only those on your side register as real people, there are places on the earth where being a christian will get you killed, and that's real oppression too. When you sit here and whine about having to share space with people who don't agree with everything you say out of hand, I'm sorry, but that's not oppression, and it makes you sound like a fucking toddler!
How offensive, to the real, genuine people who actually suffer oppression for their beliefs! How completely dishonest of you, to try and silence those who dissent against you by labeling their completely reasonable free speech as "oppression"! How utterly vacuous, to say such a thing without any evidence or thought!
What on earth were you thinking?

Yeah, and he also said to do it in private.
