They are bigoted people everywhere to suggest America has a higher percentage then any other nation is just a guess and based on reputation one with a low likelihood of being accurate.

Big3; I'll disagree with one thing you said Strongly.

I don't believe "being an aetheist generally means that you're far more biggoted toward religious people than religious people are toward aethists"

I think it's quite the opposite. But at least a push. Most of my fellow atheists, at least those I know, are quite apathetic when it comes to peoples choice of religion\spirituality. Fox example my Wife is a Lutheran and even though her parents always knew I didn't go to church, we never told them I was an atheist. She felt it would have upset them.



^^^^^^^^^^This is why (these type of) Religious people don't understand Atheists and why the loud Atheists of today i.e. Dawkins, Hitchens etc. are so fed up.

The truth is about Atheism is that it's skepticism really. It's investigation and humility and the willingness to just not know.

That poster suggests Atheists believe in nothing and that everything just happened magically. But really it's a matter of not knowing and not just going with some made up bullshit theology that comes from a book that promotes Racism, Murder, Condemnation, Sexism and Prejudice (All western religions here).

(This part not to you Big3, but just to bring it back round.)

It's a choice just like marriage, gay or straight, is a choice. A choice made by one human to marry another and it's none of anyone else's god damn business but theirs. To differentiate from who gets to make that choice shows a complete disregard for the positive message of equality and compassion for your fellow man that modern religion prides itself on teaching. Here in lies the hypocrisy of religion, the culprit behind the majority of modern discrimination.

If you're posting in the music forums make sure to be thoughtful and expressive, if you're posting in the lounge ask yourself "is this something that adds to the conversation?" It's important to remember that a lot of people use each thread. You're probably not as funny or clever as you think, I know I'm not.
