Bill, again you accuse us (atheists) of something that is just not true. One more time...we are not out to destroy Christianity. What would be the fun in that?
Hi Tick,
That is true, not all atheists want to destroy the Christian faith; some just want to wander the world without Christ.
But, you will have to admit that there are MANY atheists who have set as their goal in life -- the total annihilation of anything of God.
Good examples are atheists leaders such as Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Michael Shermer, et at.
But, even these men, in my opinion, are not doing it for religious reasons. They are doing it for the money! They laugh all the way to the bank at their followers who rush to buy their books and attend their paid seminars.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
Actually that is what you have decided is their agenda. I have never heard anything of the sort out of those men.
I have never met an atheist that would want to take away your god. First it would be impossible. You can't control the minds of others. Second, most atheist believe in freedom and free thought. It would go against their morals to try and dictate to others who or what they worshiped.
I will say again for the upteenth time on this forum. All we want is for religion to be kept out of our schools, science, politics, and laws. Go to church all you want. Pray constantly. Believe with all your heart and mind that it is all real for all I care. Just stop expecting the rest of the world to believe as you do. My biggest pet peeve is being treated as second class citizens because I don't think and believe as you do. I have morals and live a good life. However due to the fact that I don't believe in god I am often judged as immoral because of that.
If you didn't know anything about me or Joesph Vinson (the man that beat Peanut) and all you were told about us was that I was an atheist and he was a christian, what would be your first instincts about our morals?
That is what I want to see change.
