Funny, that didn't happen to me. And what's even funnier is that that's probably what you would do to your children, raise them with your own beliefs.
You seem to ignore the fact that Christianity, or, perhaps i should use Islam? It is synonymous you know. Indocrinate there children. End of story.
We are talking general here ofcourse, else a debate would be pointless, then everyone in the world is a rapist because one did it. No, thats not how it works, in GENERAL this is the Christian attiude, as well as Muslims. I would DARE you to the fact that most atheist are very open minded towards there children, and encourage them to find out more about religions. Compared ot Christianity, which tell them to avoid. It is clear you have had some bad experience with "atheists", as your aggressive comments show, but dont overdo it.
Ancedote? That happens to be reality. The life I and aothers have lived. Goes to show people with the label "atheist" aren't all that innocent. The way you call it an ancedote reveals how you can't even face the truth.
And anecdote generally refers to Reality. If someone is telling me some anecdote, it is (in normal cases the word is used), something that happened to this person, and he wish to tell us about it. So i do not understand your above comment. Perhaps you did not know what the word "anecdote" meant, which is fine, but its better to look it up, or tell me, so i can explain it to you, to avoid confusion. In all friendliness.
Why? He obviously was, and the expected response would be "See? Because one of them was bad, they're all bad." Or were you going to point out some people like crusaders etc did bad things in God's name. I know that. I know we're not all perfect. Sadly however some atheists/ agnostics think that they are perfect. That being that they will be morally superior. Maybe it's time someone pointed out you you're not all that crash hot either. And if you're going to go on and on about what "Christians" have done in the past, uyou shouldn't, you don't want someone else to do the same to you.
Once again you are asserting things, please, give me a chance to answer your questions instead of giving your own answers and comments.
You said he "obviously" was Evil. Why?
BS. I was not forced into it. And the kids surrounding tried to force it out of me instead.
Once again, we are taling in general (obviously). You can not use your personal history as proof of the opposite. If QED have been raped, OBVIOUSLY i have been raped... Thats how this logic works, perhaps you se the faults in it?
Christian children get Indoctrinated GENERALLY to believe in Christianity.
Muslim Children get Indoctrinated to believe in Islam, GENERLLY. And so forth.
Children of Atheistic belief (or lack of), are in MY KNOWLEDGE very open minded about religion. I know several parents (not being one myself), whom sent there children to SUNDAY SCHOOL even when they where not religious, just because. Most European countries also have Religious Education and so forth. So i would say, Atheist, are FAR more open minded then Christians, and this is not only a personal opinion, but ,majority would agree.
As do some atheists. They use violence. And fear. They want me to go with the mob with them rather than choosing for myself.
THEY do? What Dogmas do they follow? Whom are THEY you are speaking of. Atheists are not a GROUP of people with the same idealogy, such as Cristianity. People can be Black, White, Pink, Poorly educated, highly educated, stupid, smart, woman, male, homosexual, heterosexual, and be Atheist.
You SEEM to be talking about ATHEIST as a group, are using violence and fear, which is ludicrous. But i will give you a life-line here, You did mean PEOPLE in general then? But that would include Christians to, and Muslims, and Jews,and so forth. But if you meant ATHEIST, then you need to explain yourself.
Yeah; you. It's your idea. You want people to go around stopping people from havimng bad ideas? From murdering? I look aound with MY OWN TWO EYES and see that there is no threat from Christains. Therefore no need to stop them. People like you however
So preventing Children from evolving is not dangerous? Telling them that the Earth is 6000 years old, which would stop them, from seeking certain education. That God Made Adam and Eve in the Garden, which stops biology and so fort. In what way would this NOT be a threat yo human civilization?
Nero throwing Christians to the lions happened, didn't it?
You think Christians where a specific group targeted bt the Emperor? You think Atheist, Jews, Turks not got thrown in?
So what about friends of mine who went up to countries who were communist, who were threatened because of what they believed? They weren't enemies of the state.
HE does not care about your friends anecdote, because HE was telling you about Communistic ideology. No religion is specifically targeted in Communism, sp give that up, ok.
From what I've seen I beg to differ.
OK, i dont know where you are from. Do you live in the Western World? Europe? United States? In any case, in the Western world this does not happen, the OPPOSITE is actually True in the States, where it can be darn tight unpleasant to be atheist. The last state that recognized Atheists as "people" of the U.S, was 1980 something. 1980 man, They could not fill in lawsuits, borrow money and so forth, because they refused to accept a God. THATS oppression.
Feel free to prove us wrong, give us some examples of the terrible persecution Christians are feeling in the world, especially in the Western world, i am genuinely interested in hearing it.
All this hatred Americans speak of. Okay, I know I can't quite ignore it. But when people do that to Christians.. Or other religions........
Actually, United States is a perfect example of how CHRISTIANS persecute and oppress none-christians. That´s your kind, what have you to say about that then? All i hear is how sorry we should feel for you guys because you are getting "oppressed", never stating how, why, or when. Whiles the opposite is actually the truth.
