that Christians are out to convert them? Just as you say you are only shedding light on religion, it is the same with us. You act like we think we get "bonus heaven points" for conversions but those of you who are vehemently opposed to the Bible have studied it and know that NO where does it say convert people for extra points. We should as Christians spread the GOOD word though, and I will.

I think you've made one of the best points I've ever read on here. Thank you very much. It's funny that people think we're out to earn points. I always get people telling me that I only do volunteer work because I need to do good deeds. The real reason being that I've never felt more alive than when I'm helping others.

I understand how you feel. I actually come to this section to help people learn the truth about spiritual things, and hopefully guide them away from God and religion altogether so they can lead happier lives.
You should see some of the vulgar perverted sickening replies I receive from religious people, but then I understand that these people suffer from mental illness and lack of intelligence, and so, perhaps their behaviour, although irrational, has a rational explanation. I hope the following helps ease your pain and suffering.
Atheists are more intelligent than religious believers.
My own observation and analysis of the various posters on Yahoo Answers clearly reveals that Atheists are without any doubt, far more intelligent, thought provoking, and capable of holding sensible debate compared to their religious counterparts.
My private research studies indicate that religious people tend to be below average intelligence, and also have a tendency to be more violent than non-believers. This also seems to be supported by profiling various YA religious posters.
Science suggests that religion is a mental illness and that religious people act irrationally because they are genetically predisposed to the “religious or spiritual” gene. Statistics indicate that the higher your education, income, and intelligence, the more likely you are not to believe in a god.
In general terms, this summarises as Atheists are intelligent and religious people suffer from madness.

You need to find a life my dear. Theres more to life than spreading the word. I close with this;
I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional
love willhave the final word in REALITY.

Atheists and agnostics aren't so worried that Christians will try to convert them as much as they are worried that Christian Extremists will try to force their beliefs on them.
For example, some are worried because Christian Extremists in places like Kansas are trying to teach creationism as a science and are trying to teach that scientific theories like evolution are invalid.
Others don't want to see a woman's right to choose taken away.
Still others are worried that their children will be forced to pray in schools.
I wish that Christians would follow the golden rule & treat me the way I want to be treated. That is to say, I want them to leave me alone.

You insist you're not trying to convert atheists then turn around and say you still "spread the good word". Now you ask, why do atheist assume you're trying to convert them. What are thinking? Are you thinking?
Never mind........

Why do Christians and Atheists assume they have to ask this question 34 times a day?

Um, it's called being a sarcastic bastard. Something I am often. Don't take it literally.
And all you have to do is use that little search engine called "search for questions" so that you don't become annoying and repetitive here.

There is nothing called a good word. It is only what you believe. Do you want to hear me preaching what I think is the good word? If you don't then you shouldn't preach either.
