3. Boy, I hope you feel better soon
I sympathize with you. Having to read something like that was awful. The nerve of that person trying to push her beliefs down your throat.:sarcasm:

14. How is a person saying "hi" pushing their beliefs down somebody's throat?
Maybe I'm just stupid but I don't get it.

6. I don't have a problem with atheists; i have a problem with assholes
I do find myself wondering if this will get shoved down into the religion ghetto (where, in fairness, it belongs).

10. But from what I have see before
is that your (and many others here on DU) definition of asshole is an atheist that actually has the guts to say they are an atheist and to let theists know that they don't always appreciate being talked to like they are a theist or like they should be a theist.

11. That's nonsense, but if it pleases you to charaterize me that way
go right ahead.

There's a difference between saying "I'm a Christian" and saying "You should repent or your going to hell." There's a difference between saying "I'm an Atheist" and saying "People who believe in God are morons."

12. The scariest thing about those Atheists
is you can't tell them apart from good people. Some of the sneakier ones even wear false propaganda around their necks.
