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!
Hi there, glad to be here. I'm not interested in bashing Christians or any other groups for their religious beliefs. I can understand that Christians would like to "save my soul", and that's fine if they want to present their point of view and then just respect mine. I don't like it when people stick it in my face and shove it down my throat. I don't like it when homosexuals do it, I don't like it when minority victim groups do it and I don't like it when religious groups do it.
"Do you think your professed atheism requires faith?"
I don't know, I never really thought about it. I don't get wrapped up in the semantics or word games of it.
It's too bad atheists get stereotyped like everybody else, but that's the nature of the beast.
