A personal story...

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
Bullshit from the Christers aside, and addressing the OP:
A few years ago, I went to midnight mass for Christmas with my family. I usually love going to church on Christmas because it's so pretty and lit up and full of poinsettias... and the music- I used to sing Ave Maria every year (fun ego booster). So, I'm sitting there IN CHURCH WITH MY FAMILY ON CHRISTMAS, when the pastor starts ranting about how evil atheists are and how they hate god and Jesus, blah blah blah. I could just feel my face getting redder and redder. I held my tongue through the entire service, but at the end, when the pastor was standing in the doorway, shaking babies and kissing hands, I couldn't help myself. I whispered, only to the pastor, "I wonder how it feels knowing an evil atheist is in your midst right this second," shook his hand, and enjoyed his stutter and red face as he greeted the rest of my family.

Thank you for recognizing that bit off truth, now we can only hope you will come around soon. Quote:Seriously? SERIOUSLY? Absolutely, completely, positively, I wouldn't have said it unless it was true, you know that.

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.

It wasn't the fault of the priest an atheist found the way to a Christian service that has especially deep meaning to us. Do you really think he expected one to show up, obviously not. When you travel into the enemy camp you should expect such things to happen, Christians here do. GC

Actually, I wouldn't expect people to lambast someone for believing in something different to them without any provocation. Neither would I expect to hear people being called evil for simply believing something different to them either.
Are you guys really so insecure that you're actually affected by people calling your beliefs bullshit? Or indeed for simply not believing in the same thing as you do? You derive 'deep meaning' from some guy standing in front of people saying 'these others, these people who don't believe in our God. They're evil I tells ya! Evil!" How is that spreading a message of peace and love? Ah never mind. I'm sure jesus is proud.

It's interesting learning about my religion.
