Why don't you also tell me to stop watching "Alien Encounters" on the History Channel too, while you're at it. An unbeliever like me must be crying out for the aliens to hug me and me debating their existence or non existence on forums is me sticking my nose where it does not belong.

THB,

Several atheists on here have clearly stated their reasons for opposing some forms of belief in God and Christianity. But instead of acknowledging those reasons (even if you don't think they are valid ones), you continue to assert that atheists are just being religious fanatics (or something).

They are. Otherwise they would go to the forum set aside for them.

Why do you feel you have the "right" to come into a Christian forum and berate, belittle, and argue against Christians? You have your own forum for that.

Why do you say there are no Atheists? By definition, an Atheist is one who does not believe in deities. You do not believe in deities. Therefore, you are an Atheist. Do you have a problem with the English language, too?

Do you go to the other religion forums and tell them that they are delusional? Do you tell the Jews how delusional they are or Muslims or Hindus? Are you an equal opportunity basher or is it just Christians?

You see, I feel just as sorry, if not more so, for you than you do for me. I do feel sorry for anyone who has not experienced the love of God or felt the compassion or the support I feel. It brings me great joy - a joy that you have not felt. You call it a delusion, but I believe in God and your skepticism is so sad to me. Until you have felt it, you cannot know it and you cannot relate to it. That's ok. You have a long way to travel before you reach your end. It may come to you one day.
I can answer this question personally.

What drives us is the particularly powerful presence of Christians in (in my case) America. Christians have a stronghold in US politics and have far too much influence on everyone's daily activities and far too much influence in law.

If Christians were just a blip on the radar, then I wouldn't care about speaking out.

We care about religion because of religious violence and acts in the name of God.
We care about religion because theists attempt to push non-science into science classes.
We care about religion because of bigotry and hatred towards minority groups and the LGBT community.
Can you imagine an Atheist president? Me neither as long as we're the most distrusted group!

Can you see why some atheists actively oppose religion now? Can you see how mass delusion might be harmful to society?
Thanks for the good laugh.

I never said I get direct revelations from God. God either opens the heart of a person to the evangel or He does not. His opening or keeping closed the hearts of individuals to the evangel is not due to a love or hatred of any person but merely has to do with His counsel and will.

You cannot use reason and common sense with the unreasonable. We all know why atheists come on this forum instead of utilizing their own forum. They simply must impose their beliefs upon us and showcase their hatred for God and all things Christians. It makes them feel "manly'.

The reason is plain enough for anyone to see. You guys simply have to stick your noses into everything and anything pertaining to God and Christianity. You are simply meddlesome old women at heart else you would post on your own little forum and not be bothered with Christians. Doesn't that make sense?
No, it doesn't. But I'm used to that with your posts.

And I'm not an atheist.

They are just atheist evangelicals. They are like the Jehovah's Witnesses who come knocking on your door at all hours of the day. The atheists hand you a tract with nothing on it and ask you to believe in nothing.

No. What you care about is imposing your beliefs and hatreds upon others. Let's at least be honest little atheists.

Proof again that atheists are not as intelligent as they try to appear to be.
