Rufus, cute but no cupie doll. There is no comparison between atheists as a group and Christians as a group. The evangelizing activities of Christians alone are enough to convict them as an intolerant bunch of bastards. Add to this the very long history of Christian misconduct in the name of god and comparison to Nazis is not out of line.

World Christian data

World Evangelization Research Center

"The total cost of Christian outreach averages $330,000 for each and every newly baptized person."

Clearly these people are serious about world domination.

How do you respect someone who lives their life like there is no eternal damnation waiting for them, how much middle ground can there really be?
I'm with Jackalope. Seriously, stop trolling.

The Xian viewpoint of eternal damnation is afterlife blackmail, clear and simple, designed to get people to behave a certain way based on fear of eternal damnation and torture without any real proof, other that contradictory statements and the speeches of popes and ministers.

Only if you can convince them without using bigoted statements, and please try to understand that there are many valid viewpoints to this world.
