Yet some Christians do this all the time. Why don't you see atheists doing this?

The Bible IS NOT bull, that's not what I'm saying. But that's what proselytizing atheists would probably say. I'm not an atheist. Some misunderstood that.

Because no one ever told us to go out and convince other people that there is no god, otherwise they would go to hell forever. Since we don't believe in the consequences of a supernatural afterlife, we have no reason to go out of our way to convince others the same.

"Non-believers" don't need to do such things. It's silly to go around trying to force people to believe in some fiction as devout religious people do. This is offensive to me. It's my place to make my decision about my life. I don't think it's right for people to go around smacking people in the head with their good books forcing their ideas into peoples lives. "Atheists" don't do this because they realize it's silly and it's wrong. Though it's not true that all religious people are mindless morons, the majority are and this is how they are controlled so easily. The majority of "atheists" are generally at least moderately intelligent and a little thinking can go a long way. They realize that going around and smacking people in the head with the Atheist's Bible, which doesn't exist, that's an oxymoron, is stupid, silly and pointless. Well, enough babbling. You don't care what I say anyway.

Atheists don't believe one way or the other concerning religion. Therefore, they wouldn't go to the street and say the bible is bull, because it's not their place to push their non-beliefs on others. I feel atheists don't care what other people believe, they are only concerned about living their lives and being in the here and now. Live and let live, right?

Who says they don't? What is an athiest? Someone who doesn't believe in God, or doesn't believe in a religion?
I've ran into lots of people who have their own personal religion that states there is no religion. These people can be equally offensive. (However, if one religion is correct, it's probably not their personal religion.)
And I've seen evolutionists shout out their beliefs in classrooms, books, and get in heated arguments all over the place. Their god is an unknown energy force that decided to explode and cause things to grow out of nothing (because, yeah, that's happening all around us). And you think Scientology is a sci-fi religion! Wow!
So the answer is, "They do. I've seen college professors who wear suits, ride their bikes to the university, and they stop all kinds of strangers to argue with them."
No dice. Make another assumption. They're fun!

My first bike, that I bought my self with babysitting money. Weighed about 25 lbs. My sister would ride on the handle bars and one of my little brothers would be on the back fender. Our big worry was someones foot getting caught in the chain. Or the bubble gum cards falling off. Hanging out all night in the summer was magical. Poor kids there days. No clue what fun is.

Huh? Some Christians go around saying the Bible is bull, all the time?

I think I heard that the Bible says to "spread the word of God" which some do sorta aggressively. Whereas an atheist has no particular ax to grind concerning religion. So why bother trying to influence someone when there's no gain to it?

Because they don't have the guts to face anyone.Christians are not cowards! They don't have a life. Only yahoo! can give temporary pleasure of bashing others. They don't won't to wear,suits,ride bikes on the streets because it's too hot and too close for them to experience what Hell will be like! LoL

In the New Testament, it tells Christians it is their duty to evangelize and spread the word. The Atheists have no rules.

how about because deep down atheists do really believe that there is a Creator of all things yet they feel it is the in thing and cool to be an atheists.

Because you can't 'sell' a 'non' product!
The church has something to sell, the belief, the book, the faith!!
If atheists had an alternative, they'd have the suit, the bike and the time! :)
