I have little liking for Robertson, Falwell, Bauer, or Dobson. But I don't begrudge them the money or access they have. It is the narrow fundamentalism I dislike.
I dislike it from any corner. At least the Christians have the honesty to admit to being Fundamentalists.
There are no atheists promoting a disrespect for religion via meaningless public displays of piety.
I've heard and read plenty who say they put the Darwin fish on their car specifically to annoy Christians.
Atheists have no alter boys, no prayers, no church establishments, no tax-exemption, no record of sex scandals, no pastors, preachers, or priests, no coming-of-age rituals like Bar Mitzvah or confirmation, no holidays, no banned books or statements about heresy and blasphemy, no record of burning witches or heretics, no public displays of prayer or piety, no holy book supposed to contain "All Truth', no recited creed, no mythological 'transubstantions', no edifices with crosses.
That's twice you've used this word-for-word in the this thread. Three times and you have a creed. 8>)
Do they? What about "stealth candidates"? What about fake quotes? Surely you are joking, Mr. Celtjew.
re 67: I've heard and read plenty who say they put the Darwin fish on their car specifically to annoy Christians.
You seem very sensitive and easily annoyed. A few hundred Darwin fish on cars vs. 250,000,000 in the USA who proclaim they are Christians, and send in megabucks, and claim to know "the one true faith". The idea that Christians are a "persecuted minority" is simply absurd.

It was a valid post before, and you have not answered it. It remains valid. You attempt to dismiss it, but it remains unanswered by you.
But thanks for playing.
Matthew 7:13-15
13. "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
14. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
15. "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
