Tell me folks. Could an aetheist get away with this? http://www.xojane.com/it-happened-to-me/it-happened-to-me-my-optometrist-locked-me-in-an-exam-room-and-forced-me-to-pray-to-jesus

Hill you do understand that a simple search on Google will also find many examples of Religion being attacked by atheists don't you?

Tell me... do you see any threads started where people of religion are attacking atheists on these boards? All we see are threads like yours that are a direct attack on religion by trying to claim an extreme element represents the entirety of the religious. In trying to make your point you are just reinforcing mine.

I have been reading your posts for a long time and I know you are a fair minded person...I can only figure you and others on these boards just do not realize what your are doing.

Or maybe it is me and I'm too damn sensitive.

I suggest returning your Ouija board, it's not actually working.

Expressions of belief in any kind of non-material reality can be counted upon to draw attack, ridicule, and dismissal from any of a number of people on this board, yourself featuring prominently among them. For you to ask for examples as if the observation was questionable is ludicrous. But on the bright side, it does afford an opportunity to demonstrate the difference between a sincere question and, well, you get the idea. See if you can guess who just recently flipped this bit of smartass at a poster. No peeking first!

Did I offend your delicate sensibility by not referring to your prefered sky guy with proper deference?

Wasn't that fun? Thanks for playing.

I'd say an attack looks more like this: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/03/15/texas-man-allegedly-killed-soldier-for-not-believing-in-god/

and if you want to use it as an expression, I would think it would refer to things more like this:

I say just take her out to the parking lot, put on some gloves so as not to leave any marks, and just b e a t her selfish little a s s for her. If she tells on you, b e a t her a s s again. What have you got to lose? I can guarantee that throwing bibles at her isn’t going to help.

So words hurt the religion? I'm a little confused, violence against atheists is not a hate crime but simply expressing disdain for a religion is an attack upon that religion?

I would have to quibble about "a little".

When we say religion, we are including a very large group of people who belong to corporate entities that generate so much money and power that corruption is inevitable. It is an immutable law of human existence that power corrupts, no special group of people are immune to that. Organized religion, the military, and politics have always been seats of power, joined more recently by the media. Non-belief by itself carries with it far less access to unfettered power.

I ignore or/don't post on 98% of any threads related to "religion" on here.
The animosity and hatred makes posting, futile at best.
Thanks for speaking truth, Butch.
Peace and Blessings
