NSG's Religious Census

[South Cvandia]

I am Roman Catholic. I am proud of it but there is no need for me to tell everyone I meet. In the spirit of debating:

The people who are shoving their beliefs down our throats are the atheists. Every religious symbol that can be seen is being religious intolerant. They are shoving their beliefs down the throats of everyone else that may not agree with them.

Prove it. Christians shove their beliefs down my throat every day when they solicit me in my own home to join their congregations.

Well, actually, you don't need to prove it, because my own intolerance on this forum demonstrates perfectly why Atheists shove their beliefs down others throats.

Wait? You haven't had one of them athiests comin' to yur door and spreadin the bad news?

[Agymnum]

You already have the atheist sub-forum in the form of NSG, where the anti-Christian vitriol is a rabid and relentless beast.

A hotbed of prejudice in which we, the majority, are the ones being persecuted - at random - at will - for our beliefs and values.

Talk to the Christians in the Far East and Saudi Arabia or former soviet Christians if you want to know what it's like to be persecuted. YOU ARE NOT PERSECUTED, YOUR AN AMERICAN EVANGELICAL BEING TOLD THAT YOUR ARGUMENTS ARE DUMB.

That's not persecution. Even insinuateing that it is makes my blood boil.

This argument coming from the self-professed "Realm of God".

I'm known on this forum for being a secularist as well as a lay theologian. You read that correctly, I am profoundly religious but why should I force it on you.?

So you're one of the few nice religious people, in essence.

Excuse me. Actually in my city there is this group of people that I don't even remember the name of that visits people and talks about the evils of the Christians.

How do you know they're Atheist and not Jewish or Muslim or Hindu?

Really? You'd think that if a group did this, and you cared so much, you would remember their name.

Jews, Muslims, and Hindus don't do that?

Uh, have you seen Muslim extremists?

I mean, I'm not saying all Muslims are extremist (the extremists are a minority), but you can't immediately claim all Christian-haters are Atheist.

Okay, since you made me look it up. It is the Cincinnati Atheists. They had a bunch of guys come out to houses around Cincinnati.

What do they do?

[Maldorainia]

Nice to see it off topic yet again

[CookieRaider]

What do they do?

They ask you if you have any time and talk to you about the group and then talk to you about the evils and mistakes of Christianity.

What specifically do they say about Christianity? Like, what "evils" and "mistakes" has it allegedly committed?

Not to take away anything from their suffering but within context of the 'pen being mightier than the sword', our level of persecution is equal, if not greater, as is being institutionalized at all levels.

We are constantly being shut down for expressing our views on even the most basic issues regarding family, marriage, life, climate and society in general. It has now become 'hip' to disregard and insult centuries of tradition and values in pursuit of this new-age cultist interpretation of "equality".

These people see all the technological and scientific advances that have made our lives easier and take the teachings of JC for granted - yet when a big storm comes along and the power goes out, then it's the old "Please, God..." again.

I've seen absolutely nothing suggesting they go house to house doing this. I see a bunch of shit about their billboard being taken down because apparently Christians don't like Atheists meeting each other.

One I remember is they blamed the war in the middle east on the extremism of Christianity. Another one was they caused the scientific repression of the middle ages.

Thats the thing. I know Christians who get angry when you say the WBC is Christian. Heck, even with Mormons some get upset.

But, westerners so easily put terrorists in the muslim category, even though we don't claim them as our own; they do not represent Islam nor are they welcomed by us.

I can think of a lot of them:

- Crusades (killing innocent people over a stupid piece of land)
- Racism (they actually justified slavery and segregation)
- Discrimination (anti-LGBT, racist, anti-secularism, etc)

What do you mean? I mean unless these people were independent and lying about sending people out to houses by Cincinnati Atheists.

[Maldorainia]

Seriously, this thread is supposed to be for a census, not a place to argue over this stuff.

Those are Christians, who are people, and people sin. Christianity does not call for any of that.

No, I'm speaking of going through Google.
