Yes, there are christians who are idiots. There are atheists who are idiots, and the same can be said of every group of people.
Well said. Assuming the position of "Atheism" or "Theism" doesn't automatically grant you intelligence, or knowledge.
Come on man, yeah it does. You have to be a complete retard to believe in Jesus or Noah's flood.
Everyone knows that.
Nope. You have to be a complete idiot to force the idea on other people.

Take your time. Evolution is slow you know... except when it's fast, according to Gould.
What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? -Psalm8
The high priest said to him, “I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.” “Yes, it is as you say,” Jesus replied. “But I say to all of you: In the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.” -Matthew26
For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels. -Luke9
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins…” He said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” -Luke5
Then Jesus said to them, “How is it that they say the Christ is the Son of David? David himself declares in the Book of Psalms:
“‘The Lord said to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet.”’ -Luke20
what counts is a new creation
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. -John5
Anyone who believes in Christ is a new creation -2Corinthians5

I mean, that sort of underhanded skulduggery would put quite a damper on our lofty opinions of anti-theists and their vaunted rationality and superior morality.

And yet atheists play the part of God over us by judging us by their own standards, telling us what they insist the Bible says, and then having the gall to flame us for proselytizing! Who are atheists that they should tell other people what their own beliefs should be or how to live them out? Who do they think they are? Who says "Christians mess up"? We will take care of our own internal issues; it is not for atheists to dictate our doctrines to us. We are human beings doing the best we can, and INDIVIDUALS who cannot be responsible for the whole group. This once again is that double standard where atheists reserve the right to decide what we believe and then flame us for not acting as atheists decree we should.

In the last 10 of your posts that can be found on your user profile (with timestamps similar to this post) show that you have suddenly changed your position and are now complimenting arguments that you once ridiculed and cast away.
So is it just facetiousness, or are you being genuine?

Not true, the idiotness begins with the Christian thinking it's true themselves. They have to do this before they can force it on others. If the Christians force the idea on people is that like the mental equivalent of rape? I don't think anyone should be forcing anything on others, that doesn't sound morality.
Star for you!

No it's not. Re-read Dawkins. And Sam Harris.
Afaik, Harris has been the foremost advocate of sanctions against Christians - imprisonment, having their children taken away and 're-education'...
Originally posted by awake_and_aware
That's a lie. Sam Harris has proposed no such enforcement. He proposed no such restrictions on religious belief, he never offered them as a solution.

It amuses and saddens me that you people always claim that a mistake is a lie!
If it's not Harris, it's one of the others. (Probably Dawkins). However it has been said.
Not lying. Mistaken. End of.
There was the inquisistion, burning people as a cleansing ritual
