OK, that's different. You've totally changed what you're talking about. You are complaining because we (Christians) do not like atheism. You've taken one mans words out of context slightly, and gone off on a tangent. Nobody has said ANYTHING against you.
No, it's still the same thing. Like I said, atheists are the enemy. As long as you are the "us" and I am the "them" we are enemies.
if I had my cynical hat on, I would say you've deliberately made out like you're being treated badly so you can have another pop about evolution. No-one right now cares about who or how many people believe in evolution, that neither proves nor disproves it whatever.
No, I don't particularly care about evolution right now. It could have just as easily been a comment about how we're communist, or how we have no morals, or how we're taking over the government, or how we're waging war on Christmas.
Luckily, I don't have that hat on today.
Good, neither do I.
Anyway, I resent you throwing our concerns and peaceful responses back in our faces. Sure, it was easy to say, because we meant it. If you don't want it, that's fine. But that doesn't mean it wasn't genuine.
I'm not throwing it back at you. However, Fred Phelps also claims to love man kind. I think we're agreed that this probably isn't true. So, when you say that you love atheists, how do you know it? What action do you take that serves as feedback to show yourself that you love atheists?
Or more to the point, how would I know it? How do I know that you don't just say that you love atheists because your God expects you to say it? Really, just making the claim doesn't mean anything. It means even less when I've heard Christians say that before, and then call me a communist just because I don't believe in their God.
Maybe the best thing to do, is if you're unhappy about atheists are being treated on this Christian website, is to spend your time somewhere else? In no way am I saying you're unwanted, but it certainly would be strange for you to hang around here if that's how you feel we all treat you, and aren't willing to accept genuine concern.
Because, it's not here. It's everywhere.
Atheists are the most hated, distrusted minority in America. It wasn't long ago that New Gingrich pandered to a Christian group by telling them that government was being taken over by
atheist muslims. A guy in Norway killed some 80 people because he saw Muslims, leftists, and atheists as an enemy to be slain.

If we were to ask Michelle Malkin, Mike Huckabee or the cast of Fox & Friends if they love atheists, I bet they would say they do. But I think they've demonstrated the "us" vs. "them" mentality that is inherent in modern western Christianity. They can
say that they love atheists all they want, but they
demonstrate their disdain for people like me, on behalf of Christianity.
I come on here to discuss how we're treated out there, only to find more of the same, because that's how it is. Do you disagree that in our society atheists (and probably Muslims too) are essentially the defacto enemies of Christians?
