1) because as a Christian I am supposed to.
2) because it annoys athiests.
because you're "supposed to"...not because you want to.

Why should an atheist with power who doesn't even know you, care about your livilihood if you are a mere souless entity or a bag of flesh and bones?

You are nothing to them. Why should you be allowed to impede on their lifestyle and use their resources and take their women?

They could easily crush you like an insect, and take everything you have, with no remorse. No consequences. Nothing.

They may feel guilty at first, but guilt will subside. Contemporary philosophical thinking will adapt to the circumstances of atheism. The bottom line is, they don't need you, and you use what could be theirs.
Because an atheist can recognize the frailty of life and how importance it is to preserve it. I am an atheist. I do not believe in stomping over other people to get what I want.

Where does Christ say to burn people on stakes?

After reading about someof the mehods of torture...all in the name of religion, I'd choose the oven method. Did God tell them about these methods? Really, how did they come up wit this $hit???!!!!

Inquisition, the torture methods of the inquisition

It didn't stop Christians from doing it, did it? Never mind the various atrocities called for by the Old Testament.

Bad people are bad, whether they are Christians or atheists. They will always seek a way to legitimize the bad things they do. If that mean citing some obscure scripture to justify murder, so be it. If it means adopting a nihilistic perspective born from atheism, so be it.

Nice try, but I move to strike your post as unresponsive and irrelevant.

>2) you think atheists care.<

The OP, your response, this thread, and all the lawsuits against anything Christmas, shows all too many do.
