It's not like you need any magic key in order to see problems and suffering in the world or to want to do something about a few of those. Churches and other houses of worship may and often do offer a convenient way to marshall individual efforts into group efforts. But so would any well-run bowling league. No actual religion involved there at all.

Still not sure what response you are looking for since for the most part only Christians are on here and some Jewish people who don't seem to be into the religious aspect of their faith. It would be great if other religious types would post but, upon reading what do you find Christians and different types of Atheist!! So, to get a variety of opinions you will need some other religious people on here!!

I find this a strange comparison, but if you get it that's all that matters!! Non-believers get uppity as you put it. Otherwise, you wouldn't enter a Christian thread with out an agenda to question the falseness of the faith!! Others, do ask questions with respect and interest. For the most part I see more demeaning and asking questions and not respecting the answer.

Non-believers need to step off the pedestal and quit acting like the religious world is after them. What's funny is you will all think your safe because, you don't believe in God in some form and you will be the first to be destroyed by radical religion!! An Atheists in some religions means you worship the devil and they consider you worse then a Jew or Christian!!

Either way, someone suggested my hate towards religious people. Hmmm... I hate the act of nose picking, spitting on sidewalks and smoking. But it doesn't mean I hate the picker, spitter and smoker. Where's the fun in that? I hate religion. I don't hate religious people. And yes, there's a difference. Feel free to wrestle with that for awhile.

Paranoid NOT!! Superiority AH doubt it!! When you are mostly speaking to Christians and non-believers that's if you had read the threads, I just don't see any other religion for you to address. Like I said "non-believers are CLEVER I disguising and using the word ALL RELIGIONS when talking among Christians"!!
At least you don't hate religious people since there every where and a little hard to get away from. Wrestling is not my style I'd rather play chicken watch the toes!!
