What do you think "Methinks thou dost protest too much" meant when Shakespear said it in his play? Does it apply to some of the Atheist and Pagan responses to some questions from Christians?

No kidding! Did you know that when evolutionists have conventions, whenever some scientist presents scientific information that weakens the theory of evolution, it turns into a screaming match?

Verbally protesting anything is rarely effective in changing the circumstances or beliefs of another. One of my favorite phrases is, "Nothing is ever heard better by yelling."
This applies to everything, not just religious subjects. Don't bicker about specifics and apply it as needed to life.

I don't think so. I see more Christians getting upset than Atheist. I see Christians protesting Gay Pride Parades. You never see Atheists protesting a church service. Christians could learn a thing or two about respect.

LOL more aptly applies to right wing Christian. Generally pagans and atheists are secure in their beliefs and do not feel the need to push them down the throats of people of differing views.

It certainly seems that the more non-Christians protest Christianity, the louder the Christians yell.
You have a good point.

Funny girl, you're an amateur. You're going to have to dig deeper if you want to taunt us.
But....I've often thought of that quote whenever I see guys being extremely homophobic.
And...perhaps a "struck" nerve prompted this attempted taunting? lol

Absolutely. I've long wondered why an atheist or pagan would spend their time trying to disrupt a religious dialogue. Why are they so obsessed with people of faith?
PS. Re the hypocrisy and door swings comments - wake up, guys. This is a religion site and you're spending all your time here trying to disrupt it. It is not the other way around.

Spectacular rudeness always strikes a nerve. It's not about protesting too much, it's simply about the fact that you are being foul. You have no idea what you are talking about, yet have no hesitation in talking crap.

You are exactly right on this one Midge.
I think you summed everything up beautifully.
Good to see people with common sense here. Thank you.

Intransigence is provocative. It's difficult to accept for example that you can to give solid factual evidence proving evolution to creationists only for them to completely ignore it.
