There are stupid people everywhere. On both sides of the fence. And I challenge your notion of " many ".



You want to think that, fine. There are a lot of Christians here, that you have had many discussions with. BY your logic, some of them see you as you describe. Do you really think that anybody here sees you as evil and morally bankrupt? Do you think I see you as that way? I challenge your perception that all atheists are percieved that way. Do you act that way? No....least I don't think so. And besides, even if all athiests were perceived that way....you think all Christians are delusional. And nothing I can say will ever change your mind. What's the difference?

EDIT>>> In retrospect, that last line sounds....harsh. I dont' mean for it to come across that way.

The key here is that, even though Stan and I have radiacally different belief systems, or one of us does and the other doesn't, or whatever...neither would be willing to kill the other for having a different view. And if others more radical than we DID kill for that reason, and in doing so claimed that it was the one and only true way, and proper to do, for that particular belief system, ( or lack of <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ) I for one, would not sit and let that mentality take over. Sure, I can't speak for all, only myself. But I have to beleive that others would do the same. In my heart, I don't think that all Muslims are terrorists. I just wish that the ones who AREN't radical, and that DON"T condone the killing of innocents, would try a little harder to tell the rest of the world that " these animals don't speak for us". Maybe I'm under-informed, or just ignorant, but that doesn't seem to be happening very much right now...
