One more Atheist here, I wish I would've been here for the only thread though.
I just want to point out the fact that Hitler was not an Atheist. He hated Atheists as much as everyone else. Hitler created his own religion, which is often over looked by history books.
MrPALCO: I have heard many xains using the term circular logic. It was not invented by Atheists to help us debate xains.
Zenmervolt: I have actually met someone who argued with this: "There must be a god because, god is good, and there is good in the world, therefore there must be a god."
Shocking Blue: I think that depends on where you live. Around here if you don't wear a cross everyday at school, you'll have CIA (Christains in action) on your back all day everyday about how you are going to hell.
I was pretty much forced out of school by my English teacher, School Counselor, and an Assistant Principal. Because they knew I was 'different' and were scared by it. One of them would practically call me out of class everyday for some BS reason. They once asked me not to begin a book to school ('The book of Nod,' I was just reading it for the hell of it), to which I told them as soon as they asked everyone to stop bringing their bibles to school, I would stop bring my book.
Of course this really pissed them off. My English teacher started giving me F's on everything I did (I was getting A's before all this started). The grades in my other classes started to fall, since I was being called out of class so often. Also they would talk about me in front of others. By the time I left, more than half the school was afraid of me (With more then 1500 students).
In the end, I changed schools and now do correspondence. My point is, I did nothing to the xains, besides not going to "Pray at the pole" and other crap, and they attacked me. People were scared of me only because I believed differently, just like people were scared of blacks because they are different.
