I apologize that you have heard my question so many times before. I appreciate all you who have taken the time to respond anyway..
I would never say "hostile atheists" because I don't believe in the generalization of people. I was simply referring to some of the statements themselves made to me as seeming hostile. And I only said this as an explanation to another poster, I did not mean to seem like I was complaining about it.

Logically, society progresses and changes. If god doesn't, that means he's myth.
I don't think it's a problem. I think that the general moral truth of "treat other the way you want to be treated" has always existed and has never changed. Which is basically what all morality comes down to - just treating others with love and dignity no matter what.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
