Answer 1

" You can take a horse to the water but you can't make it drink"

Answer 2

Alright, there are a lot of things. "In god we trust" is on our money. There are monuments of the ten commandments all over the place, and the fundamentalists want more. There are several television channels dedicated to Christianity as well as some major networks running Christian programing. School boards declaring the evolution is a "fairy tale." And "Intelligent Design" being taught in schools where the "intelligent designer" is God!!! Not to mention sections in newspapers or magazines that are in grocery stores across the country. It's everywhere, just take a look around you.

Answer 3

Once when I went to the south to visit some of my relatives, I got into a fight with a couple of redneck guys my age because I wasn't a christian. They called me a liberal queer and tried to break some of my ribs. I triumphed in the end by grabbing a big rock, but still, this is a pretty good example of how some christians get hostile over non-belief.

Answer 4

i dont know where you live but here in the south they go door to door all during the week and on weekends. if your kids are outside they sit down and disccuss god without even asking you for permission to talk to your kids. ive personally told the jehovah witness, mormons, baptists and a bunch of others to stop coming into my yard. now i just post my no soliciting sign and when they come into my yard i pick up the hose and start spraying. at work im on break talking to a friend and it never fails someone sits down from another table and starts suggesting parayer or quoting the bible. i say no ty they keep on rambling and then i just get rude. most dont know that no ty or please go away means just that. go away .

Answer 5

it is highly offensive to be dehumanized by others like you,for example your question does invalidates our needs to be treated with dignity and respect,but you because you are so superior and self righteous ,without a seconds hesitation, display contempt and disrespect ,like you are entitled to treat others punitively or like subhumans for commiting the crime of not sharing your beliefs. we do not deserve to be belittled by your question that implies that we are lying or exaggerating in a confrontational manner. and it also implies that we are wrong and you are right,and our beliefs ,which are part of our identity are invalid,because only yours are.just this question alone demonstrates the utter lack of respect some christians feel free to show us,and this social bullying and ostracizing is viewed by alot of us as attempts to force religion down our throats,cause we are not shown dignity unless we behave and belief they way you want us to, and that is having someone elses will forced on you.as a christian your behavior dishonors your god and serves mephistopheles ny commiting the deadliest of the seven sins of wrath and pride ,this hateful hypocrisy does nothing to make us believe your god is anything but malevolent and why would we want to serve some entity that requires us to treat others without dignity or humanity?

Answer 6

Christian Fundamentalists have been on the attack for years now, trying to deny rights to homosexuals, trying to outlaw abortions, trying to keep women from obtaining equal rights, and trying to impose their own morals - many of them non-biblical - on the rest of society. Non-Fundamentalists are finally fighting back by speaking out against their campaigns, their media onslaughts, and their mistaken notions of truth, and the Fundamentalists don't like it very much.

Denying rights to women? Hmm, obviously you must think that the nineteenth amendment doesn’t exist. How could it ever be possible that women were not allowed to vote before 1920? That surely can't be right!

Homosexuals not being able to get married. You saying that the idea is political is like saying that the bible doesn’t exist. Most people who want to deny homosexuals the right to get married fall in at least one of two groups: Ignorant, and or religious. People say that it is against “spiritual morality” to allow homosexuals to have equal rights. The moment they said it is “spiritual”, they admitted that their argument is clearly religious and not political.

And that is not even the scratch of religious intolerance publicized by you people. A lot of murders have happened “in the name of God” because others didn’t believe in Christianity. With the fall of the Roman Empire, the librarian of Alexandria was pulled off her carriage and skinned alive. Literacy dropped. Even the Pope had to have the Bible read to him. In the first crusade, Christians killed tens of thousands of people they called "infidels". The Children's Crusade (1212) caused the deaths of nearly 50,000 children. Preachers sentenced to death and executed thousands during the Inquisition (1233-1834) for heresy and witchcraft. There were the Salem witch trials (1692) in America. The 17th Century Thirty Years War (Catholics v. protestants) wiped out tens of millions in Europe. In the Taiping Rebellion in China in the 1850's a Christian cult started a war that resulted in the slaughter of twenty million people. In the Holocaust six million Jews were murdered. Muslims and Christians in Bosnia reached a death toll of over 250,000.

Obviously you think that these events never happened. I mean, how could Christianity, the religion that preaches “peace” and “kindness”, be responsible for so many murders?

Answer 7

"I hear this all the time how you are so sick of Christians FORCING our religion down your throats!!!"

Why don't you give me an example of that, first, lest you come off as a hypocrite. I'll be waiting.

Answer 8

How about statues of the 10 commandments in front of a courthouse?
Or a prayer being said before a session of congress?
Want more? there are plenty.
Remember that Thomas Jefferson once said "Freedom can be measured as the distance between church and state".
Understand now?

Answer 9

My experience comes from people telling me "jesus loves you anyway despite you not believing". "You will see God and repent when you die"

I get incredibly offended by that. dont make "excuses" for me. I dont WANT to believe in Christianity, dont tell me that i'm going to be saved. I dont care if you think I am or not, I'm just not interested.

Answer 10

First -- I am an agnostic, not an atheist.

But you want an example? How about the Board of Education of the State of Kansas?

Answer 11

You must be illiterate, because we've already answered your question, dumbass.

The attempts to ammend the constitution to prohibit gay marriage
The adding of "under god" to the pledge of allegiance
The adding of "in god we trust" on US currency
1000 different religiously motivated attempts to outlaw abortion
Religious displays such as the 10 commandments being put up on public property using my tax dollars.
