Ah yes my friend, it may not be an Atheist's job to read my book and tell me why it sucks, but then why do so many of you do it? Starky tells me it's so that they can know all the ins and outs of why it sucks. But if it's not your job to attempt to convert me...why are you?

well, im not attempting to convert you, you'd be converted if i made that attempt. the reason why so many atheists can be a bit whinny and bitchy about christians is because most atheists in America come from Christian households and are forced first to reject Christianity before becoming atheists. i was born an atheist, so i'm one of the lucky ones. my parents never forced their faith on me and I never believe in religion... so it became tiresome to argue against it way sooner than for most people.
also, i firmly believe jesus saves, and i think people in prison could use more jesus

Absolutly not. I am a Christian, but living in a Democratic state such as Delaware, I am under constant persecution of my religion. The Atheists of this place don't seem to understand the First Amendment. Sure, the Bible says that we will always be persecuted for being Christian, but in America in this day and age? I don't mind defending my religion, but when the Democrats and the Atheists constantly tell me I don't know what I'm talking about, I just want to do something I'll regret later. I pray I don't.

They ARE right, YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT
The first amendment states freedeom FROM religion before freedom OF religion.

iN OTHER WORDS, DO WHAT YOU LIKE IN YOUR HOME AND CHURCH AND WITH LIKE MINDED PEOPLE, BUT KEEP YOU CRUTCH NOUT OF MY PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS.

THAT is what the constitution says

Why is that so hard for some to understand ?

By the way....I always am amused by Blue State right wingers.

DO feel free to move too Alabama...your 12 x 50 trailer at the end of the dirt road awaits
