Today at work in the office this there was this group of muslims that have this alarm that goes off when they have to pray and of course i dont like it because i'm an atheist and that alarm is worthless since theres no god so i told them to turn that garbage down i cant concentrate and instead to spite me they raised the volume and then i told them turn that volume up one more notch and that alarm is gonna be on the floor in pieces so they turned it up again and you know when someone defies its not a good thing so next thing you know that alarm was on the floor in pieces but they didnt get mad at me they just said allah is gonna get me for that and i just brushed it off and laughed in there face cause i know theres no allah theres no jesus theres no god or any of that garbage, do you think i should i feel bad for what i did?

i feel you have your right to your opinion and i think they should have a designated spot to pray...so they dont have to push their beliefs on to you...you warned them what was gonna happen and they didnt respect you...so why should u respect them? i wouldnt feel bad...

Theologically,(from your point of view) no.
but ignorance of the law is not excuse for a violation of it.
just because you deny God doesn't mean that you can just go around acting like the animal bad science holds you to be.
i don't think "Allah" is going to smite you, But if you don't change by the time Christ comes back there will be a Literal Hell to pay.
i recommend doing your research, look at culture, science, law, history. and see that God is real.
Also, so you don't sound like such an ignoramus, Jesus has been proven to have lived, and at the same time as recorded in the bible. the only thing we can't prove it his deity. but then why is it so hard to believe?... you believe in Evolution I'm sure, and yet the theory of evolution offers no more evidence than the bible.
the reason the world choses evolution is because it takes away the limits that call for us to be Caring, Intelligent, HUMANS

Well, if you feel that you disregarded the core beliefs of others without due respect to a fellow human being (regardless of what those beliefs are), then yes, you should feel bad.
You don't have to respect their beliefs. You should respect their right to have them.
Invading your personal space with noise was rude.
So was it seems, so were you, by your own words "turn that garbage down."
(Unless you were paraphrasing with what you really wanted to say, and you were actually had politely asked them to find another means of letting them know it was time to pray, that did not infringe on your rights to some peace and quiet.)
Mean people suck. Were you mean? I guess only you can answer that.
If you were not, then no, you should not feel bad.
If you did not address the situation with the tact it deserved, then yes, you should feel bad.

Well since you don't beleive in God then what's the point of feeling sorry, no one can forgive your sins. It's what you feel no one can actually say yes you should feel bad because then your not actually feeling bad because you are not truly feeling bad. That's they way their religion is and as much as you try telling them to stop putting that alarm away you can't because that's they way they are or beleive in God you can't control them. Just like they can't control you.

I suggest you come to whatever conclusion about the existence of God and don't try to convince others you've a handle on the truth. The problem with religious zealots is that try to impose their religion on others. You might want to avoid doing the very same thing by avoiding such confontations.

are you saying you smashed their radio, alarm clock, or some piece of electronic equipment? I think this qualifies as either vandalism or destruction of property. Let's hope they don't file a police report against you.

yes you should feel very bad,just because YOU are an athiest does not mean everybody is....If you want people to respect your life syle then you should respect others...I think religion should be respected by all and should not make fun or blast anyone for their beliefs....Would it have hurt you to just be decent about the whole thing..? We have to put up with athiest,and gays,and all kinds of things and i feel its their choice,its not our job to go around correcting people,you are butting your head against a BRICK wall................

I would have smashed you. They believe in Ala more than you don't believe in God. Ala won't get you but if you carry on like that someone will. Have you ever heard of asking politely?

No!
Just another day at the office.
History is full of accounts of religions trying to impose their lifestyles on others and impinging on others rights.
"Religion is poison" (Mao)
"Imagine...no religion too" (John Lennon)
