You have a point that not all people of faith are the same. Doesn’t gloss over what a lot (not majority) do.

If all believers hate homosexuals, how do you explain an openly-gay Lutheran BISHOP?

http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2013/06/03/lutherans-elect-first-openly-gay-bishop/

If you read the article, you will also learn that there are about 130 other gay Lutheran clergy members.

Why not do you research before condemning all believers as intolerant?

“Theists hate anyone unlike them”.

Completely untrue. Are there believers who discriminate on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientations, etc.? Sure, absolutely — and as I believer I also will say that such discrimination is always wrong. But there are also plenty of atheists who do the same thing.

Why are YOU discriminating against all believers based on the actions of a small (albeit outspoken) minority? You do realize there are women, minorities, and openly gay CLERY in major Christian denominations (e.g.. Episcopalians), right?

Who said atheists wanted to rule the country? I’m for a secular government. Not all of us are so anti religious that we want to take away people’s rights to practice religion. But anyway, why are you supposing a false dichotomy?

Your point?

Um, we’re not talking about that. It seems like you’re trying to same me into feeling bad about something _I_ don’t do. Stay on topic please.

Oh you got me there.
Yea right. The difference between atheists and theists is atheists accept everyone regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation. Theists hate anyone unlike them. Who’s the real hate group??

You “rock all the socks” because you belong to two hate groups? Or are you willing to post a comment saying you respect the right of people to believe in God and don’t discriminate against believers?

And atheists are respectful of people who don’t share their lack of faith??? The entire message of AA is insulting and attacking believers. Don’t complain about intolerance when you practice it yourself

If atheists ruled this country, there would be laws against religion.

If you think that’s an exaggeration, look at all the (nuisance) lawsuits AA keeps filing.
