If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him. Your hand shall be the first raised to slay him; the rest of the people shall join in with you. You shall stone him to death, because he sought to lead you astray from the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery. And all Israel, hearing of this, shall fear and never do such evil as this in your midst. (Deuteronomy 13:7-12 NAB)
I am and atheist and you should be too. That said, why aren't you christians who call themselves "fundamentalists" and adherents to the letter and spirit of bible trying to murder me? Aren't you disobeying god by letting me live?

You're not my brother, son or daughter, wife, friend or anything to me, so you have absolutely no power to entice me to do squat. Deuteronomy is a listing of old testament laws, for the Jews. I'm not Jewish and fundies aren't either (unless they're fundie Jews, and I have no clue if there is such a thing), yet we're all bound by the 10 commandments, like that pesky "thou shalt not murder" one. So basically, atheists telling us we shouldn't believe in God are nothing more than annoyances.

Hi Scott,
Well, I suppose that I could, but you'd have to stand very still so that I could get a clean shot. We wouldn't want you to be merely wounded and then sue me.
Seriously, Scott, to answer your question, there is a lot of the Hebrew Law that Christians do not keep. In fact we manage to mange it on a regular basis. Why? because real Christians, who believe Jesus, are now under Grace and not the Law. Besides, God will do a much better job of "killing you" than we ever could . He has killed me many times and recently I find that I am having to die to myself several times a day. These are certainly not physical deaths, but deaths of thought, attitude, and ideas.
Aren't you really arguing with Jesus rather than Christians? If so, then you must believe that He exists, other wise you wouldn't bother to argue at all.
Here is a free, on line book that will help you figure out why we aren't shooting at you, physically.

Hebrews 10:31
It is a fearful (formidable and terrible) thing to incur the divine penalties and be cast into the hands of the living God!

They are trying, they are trying. First they need to finish destroying the constitution.

because in the end you will be in hell, justice will be served when you stand before God Alimghty on the Day of Judgement and your sentence is passed down (GUILTY!!!) you will have no aliby, but we will (Jesus Christ), so I warn you stop sinning, repent, and put your faith and tust in Jesus Christ, before it is to late.

Maybe us atheists should kill the christians for their hyprocrisy in not killing us.
