Trees exist. Some see only branches, some see the single tree. Same for humanity.
Are you aware that many sects of Christainty demands that branches that don't bear fruit must be cut off?

Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout!

If religions are so into oneness and acceptance of each other as different paths to the one or Gid how do you explain the fate of the passengers on the MV St Loius?

A Canadian official said about the reason for refusal for accepting these refugees was that None was Too Many. They were not atheists rejecting these refugees in 1939 Cuba, USA and Canada.I

Maybe ask an athest instead of preaching to one. Is that so hard for you? Are you afraid that you might find out they are are people just like you?
