People with your attitude don't make being Christian very appealing.

It's funny - I don't begrudge anybody their religion. I think it's just fine to have the Ten Commandments hanging on the wall of a courthouse. I don't have any problem with a nativity scene. I'm Republican, voted for Bush, served in the military, own a gun and am almost always anti-abortion.

I am also an atheist. I'm not interested in "converting" anybody to atheism, and I'm not interested in campaigning against prayer in schools or any other such business. What I'm interested in is pursuing life, liberty and happiness in the Free Republic that is supposed to be America.

Hey.. welcome my friend.

Be careful not to lump Christians as intolerant. I think you'll find the lot to be very compassionate in their actions and deeds.

I have several friends who are atheistic/or agnostic. I don't quite understand it, but would not stop being their friend.

The great thing about this forum is that we can discuss these things without wanting to act out agression.

Christians are a fierce group of people, very devout in their faith. If you really look deep down they are concerned for the salvation of your soul. (Not a bad thing in my book...)

So... God bless... and welcome to the best forum out there!

Do you think your professed atheism requires faith?
