The worst thing about christians is their pathetic victim complex. You assholes are in the majority. No one's infringing on your rights.

Not relevant to this discussion. This has nothing to do with rights whatsoever. It's about etiquette.

Now it's about pie.

The holy Trinity of Apple pie, Cherry pie, and Blueberry pie is forever inviolate.

Curse the heresy of sweet potato pie, pumpkin pie, and the dark lord mince meat pie.

I'm being very pie-ous. ():)

Saying you don't believe in God is not insulting whatsoever. You are stating your belief. Saying you don't believe the bible is true is also ok. Calling it a story book or book of faerie tales like so many do is making it an insult.

By saying I don't believe in it I am implying it is nothing more than a story book. I mean I obviously believe the book exists as I have seen one before. I just believe it is nothing more than a collection of stories, thus a story book.

So how is saying I don't believe in it any more insulting then saying you read a book of stories and take it as fact?

If you believe in the stories in the bible you are uneducated and ignorant

I bash anything that offers a total explanation of the universe and regulation of life and believes in floaty men in the sky. But generally leave Christians alone because they are not costing us hundreds of billions in security and chopping off heads and general carnage around the world with bible in hand. So I have special hatred for Islam.

I think you juse proved the OP's point.

I'm just asking for some tolerance. I've always been a christian, and I have never tried to shove Jesus in your face on this forum, i've never shitted on anyone's belief. What do you get out of shitting on other people's beliefs? Does it make you happier that you believe that you are souless and going to turn into the dust in a few decades. Does it make you happier you have no purpose in your life and everythign you do, doesnt matter, becuase you'll be dead soon anyhow?

It's not that cool to shit on other people's belief.

It's because of those last two sentences in your first paragraph that Atheists bash on religious people in general. It's because somehow, believe in a God of some sort magically gives you meaning in life over everything else life has to offer, and apparently being a Christian gives you that meaning

It's also fun to watch people squirm as their belief systems get torn down by science. Of course its not like I go up to a random person and tell them they're wrong. It's when they start talking shit about evolution and sciences is when the fun starts.

As a very tolerant agnostic, I find some of my atheist friends to be the most self-righteous, condescending dickheads when it comes to other people's beliefs.

I don't spend a lot of time debating Christians about their particular soteriological beliefs, for example, or their beliefs about the hypostatic union, or protestantism vs catholocism, etc. That's all part of their little narrative and if they aren't making claims about things that actually exist, I'm not going care.

Once they start claiming that biological organisms aren't related via common anscestry and/or the universe is at most ~10K years old, their silly beliefs are gonna be met with the derision they deserve, however.

Pretty much. I am going to enjoy my little time on this earth and then give back to it when i die as worm food to continue the cycle of life. I am fine with that. I dont need anymore then what i have in front of me in this world. You can go to your golden paved roads in the sky if that makes you feel you have purpose or something. My purpose is to be the best human i can be and hopefully pass on some knowledge to the next generation throught my life.

If I say that the earth rotates because every night I turn on a giant fan in my backyard, and I really believe it, I would be uneducated and ignorant.

You shouldn't whine if I state that you are uneducated and ignorant if you believe the stories in the bible. And I only made the comment because malak is a douche

It isn't the least bit ironic that calling he bible a "story book" amounts to "bashing Christians," but making the (false) assumptions you have in your loaded questions doesn't seem to you like you're "bashing atheists."

Something about planks and eyes and motes of dust...
