bullshit. stop trying to pretend that your little boy is not a murderer.
I don't PROMOTE atheism. A persons dogma opinon is their own private issue. I have no more interest in getting others to be atheist than I do getting them to buy a fish tank just because I like aquariums. Indeed, prothletization seems to be a solidly religious venture. You've never seen me "share the wonderful news of atheism" with anyone because I don't care what others' personal beliefs are. THATS a significant difference between atheists and christians.. I DONT HAVE A MORAL IMPERATIVE TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE ELSE PRAYS THE WAY I DO. That alone is worth centuries of christian turmoil.
If I, and my fellows, am skeptical of your dogma it has more to do with logic, reason and the adoption of the scientific method then it does trying to undermine christianity. If your dogma passed the scientific challenge then we probably wouldn't have had an imprisoned Gallileo and a bunch of geocentric imperatives. You may see atheism as a threat thanks to the pattern of science deflating your mythology but, what can I say, eventually we'd have to accept that the world is not flat despite how many astronomists get locked up for offending christianity. You can believe that we are the tool of some pitchfork wielding devil but, like Ive said, what else is new when christians don't have a clear monopoly on the minds of a society.
the things I have listed are NOT the product of christians straying from the path. Like I said, lets talk about some popes.
No, the problem is when christians decide that they must invoke their dogma when it is clear that people are not interested. I am reminded of the entire I.D. debate but, im sure, THOSE people are not christians either.. or something.
christianity, like ANY other common identity, can and has been a major cause of societal conflict. I don't care if your affiliation wont allow you to accept that but it's the fact.
