Not atheists. Anti-theists. I was an atheist and I never cared about crosses. These whiners are a bunch of Drama Queens and Haters.
Or, “militant atheists.”
There are frank nonbelievers who still will live and let live as far as what believers want to do.
But then there are frank nonbelievers with a nanny complex. That gets ugly.
I’d like to posit something. It might be true or false but it seems to me it could be true.
Maybe some nonbelievers actually do sense God but are so set on fighting Him that they will go to almost any length to give believers grief, just to try to get them to say that belief really doesn’t matter. Of course they won’t say that.
The ones that fight might even be closer to God than the ones who don’t care.
