Not necessarily, have you meet everyone?

I think that atheists worry about religion in case they got it wrong. Much safer to be an agnostic. Mind you, I despise agnostics because they are sitting on the fence and can jump either way. They are too scared to have an opinion.

Well firstly, everyone worries that they got it wrong. If God is real, that is his responsibility. I'm still waiting for God, but he has to show himself.

Secondly, agnostics have a perfectly respectable position. People shouldn't have to be coerced into making absolute conclusions. So shut ya face.

I was called into the school and had to have a sit down with the principle.He was mine when I was there I suppose he thought I would be intimidated.After listening to his ramblings for 30mins with my daughter sitting there snickering he threatened to suspend her if she didnt stop and basically conform and I threatened a lawsuit.Alls been good for a couple of months now and this is a public school I could understand if it was private.
We live in a small town ran by the churches when there is a talent contest in our town the churches have to approve the songs first.I'am not kidding either.
These videos are quite good listening to the first one now and wow he caught alot of heat in the posts.

She is in 2nd grade she was held back one year due to hyperactivity and since I refused to medicate her with ritilan she repeated kindergarten.
Edit:I try to be a good momma but like everone else I have my faults.I just believe to an extent you have to let your children choose their beliefs even if you don't agree with them lucky for me she chose mine.

I can't believe I just read all this back and forth... anyway, atheists care about Christianity because they want to believe but can't find the doorway to faith. Christians aren't persecuting atheists just as the majority of atheists are not persecuting Christians. But there will always be the exception to the rule and that is what we talk about.

Atheists need and want Christians. They could care less about the Bhudda or allah, or any other God. Only the Christian God stands out. For instance, when have you ever seen here on the ATS a thread where atheists bring up topics for discussion on the god of Islam, or on the Hindus. If so it is rare and only in reference to diminish the Christian God of the Bible.

Yes... atheists care deeply about religion, but only the Christian religion because it has staying power and a pull that is hard to resist though they try.

Massive wishful thinking going on here. You are the one with "faith", and that blinds you to reality.
