This is for everyone out there that judges religious people saying well they belive in a God they must be mindless sheep.You claim to know for a fact that God doesnt exsist like yall know all the secrets of the universe but in reality yall have no proof.

I am sick and tired of hearing "I hate christians because the try to force their belifes on me."Well guess what when yall are trying to prove to us that God doesnt exsist yall are forcing yalls beliefs on us.It would be great if evey Christian would leave every atheist alone but that will never happen.Trying to win souls is a part of our beliefs.Now im not a very good Christian so I dont go around doing that.And the Christians that do go around doing to but only because the want to feel like they are better then everyone else are even worste Christians than me.So yah I can see why yall wound complain if only there was a way where the non believers didnt talk religion with the believers and vice versa.And this goes for religion I only used Christianity as an example cause its the only one I know and understand.

I do not think I would mind a christian coming up and talking to me. I have always wanted to know how all of the penguins, polar bears, etc got to antarctica after the world was flooded.

And this is for you.

You claim to know for a fact that God doesnt exsist like yall know all the secrets of the universe but in reality yall have no proof.

Again, with this...*internet equivalent of a sigh*

You can't prove that there aren't "900-foot firebreathing clowns" that require human sacrifice for appeasement waiting to descend on this earth if you don't do the aforementioned sacrifices tomorrow. Are you willing to cover all of your bases?

O? The totse.com forums are a non-compulsory, freedom-based "benevolent dictatorship." No one here is forcing you to read his or her statments. If you don't want to read them, then don't.

That being said, I'll ask you...how many atheists (as this is the group you seem to be addressing) hand out flyers door-to-door? How many atheists stand up in the media and use smear-campaigns against Christian (or other theistic) opponents? How many atheists pray on the insecurities of the human populace and live parasitically from their ill-gotten gains?

It would be great if evey Christian would leave every atheist alone but that will never happen.Trying to win souls is a part of our beliefs...

And one of my core ethical underpins is integrity. Another is rationality. I hate to see the (very sad) tendency of people to be horribly conflicted, afraid, tormented by overly complexified issues. Also, I'm quite honestly entertained by good debate.

...So yah I can see why yall wound complain if only there was a way where the non believers didnt talk religion with the believers and vice versa...

Segregation has, historically, been bad news. It tends to cause more problems than it solves.

Is this meant to be a shot at the Bible?

Personally, I'd say the answer would be the same as the current scientific explanation. Or, at least, generally similar.

I'm sick and tired of christians who think there beliefs are harmless. Letting you believe in your fairy tales would be fine if you didn't insist on using your beliefs to justify trying to force others to conform to your morals. Things like telling people that abortion and birth control are wrong, are actually hurting people.

I really think a religous war is going to break out in this forum any moment.

There aren't any polar bears in the antarctic.
