re: #170 William Lewis
And frankly his anti-Christianity has come to the point of pure bigotry. There are quite a few other atheists here that do not need to fight about it. But his attitude against is like that of a fundamentalist against Islam - there is nothing possible good and it’s proved because X never says Y against Z. I would not tolerate that of an Islamophobe and I’m not willing to tolerate that any more about anyone.
I think it is impossible for a Christian to understand what it is like to be an atheist in a religious area. It is not benign. The best Christians are often condescending and judgmental. Jesus commanded to make converts. Christians follow this directive. I never told anyone I was an atheist that’s how threatened I felt. I can understand the “all Christians” thing because I have experienced it.
