Are y'all anti-all religions, or only Christianity? I recently saw a
bumper sticker that said, "So
many Christians, So few lions." I suppose it takes no balls to
attack Christians. I wonder why I've
never seen a bumper sticker saying, "So many Muslims, So few virgins."

In fact, I've seen very little of atheists taking action against
Muslim activities. Are atheists
mostly just afraid of Muslims? Or, is the Muslim God OK with atheists?


Too cold for you to troll for stripers in the Bay, eh?

What most atheists are against is not religion, per se, but religion
that tries to force itself down the throat of non-believers, either
directly or indirectly, or religion that uses government or government
facilities to further...religion.

Oh...the "Muslim" god is the same being as the Christian god and the
Jewish god. Muslims are monotheistic. Muslims consider Abraham, Moses
and Jesus as prophets of the same god your church venerates. Oh, and
didn't you go to college? Apparently you are not aware that Muhammad is
not the god of Muslims, but simply their main man prophet.


Read the question, Krause. Are you implying that Muslims do not try to
force their beliefs upon
others? Apparently most atheists don't realize that both Christians
and Muslims believe in the same
God.

Have you paid your taxes yet? Is being a deadbeat good for your serenity?



I assumed the bumper sticker that offended you was one you saw locally.

I haven't read of any significant cases in this country in which Muslims
have tried to force their religious beliefs on others, but there are
plenty of instances and cases in this country in which Christians have
forced their religious beliefs onto those who don't share those beliefs.
In the United States, it is christians who work at forcing their beliefs
onto the population.

I have seen more than a few devout Muslim women at Tysons' Corner
Shopping Center wearing the traditional head and face covering. I didn't
notice any of their spouses or brothers confronting non-Muslim women and
forcing them to cover up. I've talked to Muslims while in DC, while on
the Metro or in museums. None of them asked me if I'd "been saved." When
I was consulting at ULLICO, I used to talk almost every day to the
well-dressed Black Muslims hawking their newspapers and pies on the
corner across the street, and even got the building management to allow
them into the lobby and the restroom there.

On the other hand, I have frequently been "confronted" by christians
seeking converts, and annoyed by christians trying to pass laws to
restrict practices they claim are anathema to their religion. For those
christians, there are not enough lions.

You're a racist turd, herring. And you're easy.

Oh...I was going to attach this, but forgot:

Roman Catholic Bishops Call for Prayers against Marriage Equality -

December 7, 2012

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has issued a new call to pray to
address “life, marriage and religious liberty concerns.”

San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone said discriminating
against LGBT people in marriage was somehow fundamental to the good of
society.

Cordileone, who was a leading architect of the Prop 8 campaign in
California, recently said people simply “don’t understand” what marriage is.

Among the items outlined by the bishops is a second “Fortnight for
Freedom” planned for June – likely when the Supreme Court will be ruling
on marriage equality.

Cordileone and other bishops continue to push anti-LGBT sentiments in
the Roman Catholic Church despite the fact that a large majority of
Catholics support marriage equality – likely because they are guided by
the Golden Rule that calls on people to treat others in accordance with
how they’d like to be treated.

---

**** you, Archbishop Cordileone. Push whatever you want in your church,
but don't push your church onto our civil society.
