I will not again date any Christian women, how matter attractive they are. The evangelicals especially are totally nuts (I am speaking from experience).

Force their daughters to only accept a muslim husband. Or if you aren't already then force you to convert. That's pretty shitty.

I agree. I know a lot of Chaldean Catholics who are not "allowed" to date anyone who isn't Chaldean Catholic. Pretty slim pickings...
That will never hold up in court...

Ah yes. I forgot the ones who say that "religion doesn't matter" until AFTER you get serious with said theist, then it changes to, "I can't date/marry/live with someone who is not Christian/Catholic/Evangelical/Jewish/etc." So, you're faced with the choice of stopping seeing the person, complete with the hurt of the breakup, or at least pretending to convert to something which you do not believe.Sad I think this is particularly deceitful as a method of making converts! If the person didn't want someone who was not of their faith, they should have said so and declined in advance.

Then, there's always the family pressure to marry within one's own faith... or the faith of the family even if the person in question really is not particularly religious or privately disbelieves.

I will never date a religious person. I don't want to go through all the bullshit.

For me, as well as all those listed so far, it has to be the mis quoting and mis application of science when they fell that it justifies their position, but condemning it when it clearly contradicts doctrin then invent a pseudoscience to counter this and claim it's ligitimate science.

All the best

missing page from the Bible. The page is currently being carbon dated in
Bonn. If genuine it belongs at the beginning of the Bible and is believed to
read "To my darling Candy. All characters portrayed within this book are
fictitous and any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely
coincidental." - Newsreader in 'Red Dwarf 2: Better Than Life'

I think the biggest thing theists do that piss me off is use their religion to breed an unnecessary us vs. them mentality.

WWJD? Apparently he would hate anyone slightly different.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
