Here's some scripture to chew on:
1 Peter 3:15 Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it. 16 But do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ.
Quit the name-calling. It's uncalled for.

Cranky, cranky, cranky! Simmer down, there.
Let's start at the top, shall we?
Atheists believe that there is no God. Since the Bible purports to be the word of this non-existent God, it doesn't have much value to atheists.
Another thing about atheists that might surprise you is that since they don't believe in God, and Christ is God, an atheist is not anti-Christ. You might try this: Do you believe in Santa Claus? Probably not. Would you describe yourself as "anti-Santa?"
Biblical Scripture is as valuable a supporting document to atheists as The Joy of Cooking would be to a surgeon.

Actually, I decided to buy a concordance just for that purpose. Then I can show you all the lies and inconsistancies right in your own words. You might want to encourage your fellow christians to get one too; I've lost count of how many misquotes and out right made up verses I've come across on here.
And btw, I have as much right to be here and discuss religion as you. Saying that I don't is like saying that only doctors can speak in the medical forums or I can't comment on flowers I like because I don't have a garden.

Hmn.
Great, I can stay here, then, by your logic.
I have no need to follow your Bible, as I am Pagan. But I am not Atheistic nor Anti-Christ.
However, your comma implies both.
People who are BOTH Atheistic and Anti-Christ cannot be here, according to you.
I haven't seen anyone ever fall under both...
For the record, people can go where they wish.

I back up all my answers with scripture you dont read them.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

I'm not a scientist, but I can go to the science forum. I'm not religious, but I can hang out here!

Temper, temper. Now what would that prove? Haven't you ever read Shakespeare? "The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose." ('The Merchant of Venice')

Fine, you want us out?
You and a fellow christian pray for it to happen and Matthew 18:19 guarantees that god will do as you ask. No ifs, ands, or buts.
Unless, of course, the bible is just a lie.
