Er, I don't get it.
With the possible exception of ASM, everyone here accepts your atheism. On the contrary, it is you who seems to be unable to accept the fact that everyone else here doesn't conform to your views. I understand why you think like you do, because I felt the same way once. However, I also understood why others did not feel the same as I did, and I have no trouble doing that now that I went back to Christianity.
You, however, seem to take great pleasure in painting Christians as stupid, mindless robots, and blame practically all of the world's woes on us.
I don't care if you do speak your views and opinions, it's an open board. But you are seriously in greater need of flexibility and understanding than we are. If you can't accept us for our faith, then leave us alone, because if you want to change anyone's mind, you're going about it entirely in the wrong way, nobody here is going to abandon faith in God because we're getting insulted by the likes of you.
So I have a deal for you:
Accept the fact that most people in general, and many here in particular, are Christians. The rest of us will return the favor, as we have been for a long time, and for at least myself, in spite of wanting to return some of the really nasty and venomous shit you say about us.
If you can't do it for our sake, do it for yourself. Tolerance makes you a better person.
