Well of course they need to get over themselves. They think they are absolutely 100% right without one shred of evidence.

I have been an Atheist all of my 67 years and the Theists have never bothered me. In addition, I like their music, artwork, beautiful country churches, and fairy tales (i.e. their so-called holy books).

Of course they do. Atheist activism exists primarily as a reaction to Christian evangelism. Without Christians attempting to control people through political and legislative eans, atheists would not be inspired to, or feel the need to react.

Nicely worded. It's true. If god didn't factor into politics and infringe on our daily lives, we atheists would put down the stick and step away from the dead horse.

They're losing, and they know it, and it scares them.

At the rate things are going, being a member of an organized religious organization in 100 or 200 years will have about as many people as the Klan does today.

Their cries that "the sky is falling" are shown to be lies with the actual truth comes out.

Ergo, they're in full-out panic mode.

i also enjoy the art work and the older church buildings i was thinking of the way many self martor themselves, with persecution that's not there. you know how they take giving rights to someone they should of had a gay marriage is a attack on them. or allowing another religion to host a open public feastival

The "religious right" is constantly being haranged by liberal pro-Gay groups for their intolerance of homosexuals. Where have you been? What with today's declining morals and absurd sense of entitlement that permeate this country, nobody is safe from being chastized for speaking out against Gay people.
Add on the fact that most of our media is uber-liberal as well, and almost not a week goes by without someone being dragged under the wheels for making an anti-gay statement.
The liberal sense of entitlement and obsession with political correctness has now reached comic proportions. Last night, for example, Bill O'Reilly had as a guest on his show a woman who headed a group who objected to Illegal Aliens being called "illegal."

Madness.

This is satire, right?

Honestly, Christians/Religious people are the ones who invented the concept that words are bad. You can't even use certain words on this forum because religious people are "offended" by them.

Religious people are offended by things just as liberals are offended by other things.

There is a certain irony about your "entitlement" concept as well considering YOUR "GOD" feels entitled to at least 10% of your earnings.
