No, but I think this question is the most pathetic question possibly ever asked. If what you mean is somebody purposely made their own story just to piss someone off because they disagree with them, then its silly, and kind of childish. However, if you think about it, didn't Christians try to convert non-belivers throughout the history of their religion? When the Puritans came to America, they made the Natives convert to their religion, or else they made their lives miserable. Or how about in Spain during the Spanish Inquasition when they murdered all the Jews for not accepting their faith. What made those any different than the situation you just described?

umm... I hate to bring this up. But!
All religions were created.
Christianity was a creation too.
We cant all believe in the same thing. none of us.
Silly religions? Like the Forgiving Shoestring of Hope?
The thing that is Pathetic is that people have no idea of faith.
Faith starts and grows inside of you. not because of some preacher saying things but because YOU wish to believe.
Granted there are some newer religions that might make you wince.
There is no wrong faith. anything that makes You stronger and more capable of dealing with life, is not wrong.
I do agree with you on the first part of your question though. Non-Believers should never try to force the faith of their making on others, nor tell others that they are wrong.
I think we should talk to some of the Witnessing people about that.

Like the person called "I Know Do You", I was hoping you wrote this in a sarcastic vein. But I'm not sure. And if it's NOT sarcastic, then I am confused.
If someone disagrees with Christianity & Islam, I think it's quite natural to assume they think Christians and Muslims are wrong - at least about what they believe. Pathetic? That would depend on what's backing their conclusions. Keep in mind that the popularity of a belief says absoutely nothing about it's validity - or we'd still be teaching flat earth geography. The very first person who said the earth was round was right - regardless of how "pathetic" he sounded to everyone else who "knew" he was wrong.

I try not to hate anyone or anything. Hate is a very powerful emotion, the opposite of love is not hate it is apathy. You could HATE someone who raped you and HATE what they did but to hate a person or hate there belief system is a way of line hate should be reserved for horrible people or things. Hitler, war, Stalin, all things you can hate. But we as humans have to understand that we are all here on this planet and have deal with each other as best we can. We do not have to agree or like each other, example I can be a racist , I do not have to associate with blacks or Mexicans or anyone I do not want to. I can think whatever I want about them but the minute I put those thoughts into actions that would not treat them equally I am breaking the law and that is good, because the minute you put a control on my thoughts we are going to hell. So basically I am saying you think what you want I can think what I want but do not put any laws saying I cannot think that way.
PS My ex wife is black. My current wife is Mexican and I have a beautiful almost 5 year old daughter by my ex wife. Just wondering what religion or religions you were talking about?

A non-believer in religion is an atheist. An atheist doesn't create or follow any religion.
There are believers in many religions. A religion is simply a set of beliefs and rituals to worship. There are many religions that believe that their religion (way to worship) is the one "true" way. This is a common tenet of monotheistic religions. I don't care for any faith that promotes itself as the one "true" way for ALL people to worship/believe. I respect religions that have a tolerance of the beliefs of others---whether or not they agree with them or not. Since they are respectful and polite they get respect and consideration in return from others. I really don't care if people make up their religion (ways to worship). It is the "my way is the correct way for everyone" attitude that I feel is pathetic.

Then you need to get out more. I'm not sure who you think created there own religion but Pagans were around at least 200 years before Christians and we never killed to prove we were right. I believe Buddhism and Hinduism were too. And what proof do you have that YOUR right?????????

Who exactly are you talking about? SOMEONE certainly made up Christianity and Islam, or it wouldn't exist, and enough Christians tell everyone else, including Muslims, that they're wrong, so what exactly are you upset about?
I, too, hope you're being sarcastic and it's just getting lost in translation.
Bright blessings!

Hi Pot.. Meet Kettle.
Xianity = silly religion.
Xians = people who believe in silly religion and tell everyone they're wrong and that their god is false.

It is much more pathetic to teach children hate and bigotry while telling them that if they don't believe what you tell them to believe than they will go to an imaginary place called hell.
