I admire atheists' restraint in trying to defend themselves using their logic and words...but, why don't we ever actually physically fight when we are attacked? I mean, why don't we arm ourselves against people that are trying to hurt us...why don't we assassinate anyone (hypothetical question)? Extremist Muslims, right-wing militias...we're under fire! I don't think our words are going to work all the time...

Force is not the answer, in my book. I shall use the Dali Lama as an example. When China invaded Tibet, he and his followers ran, rather than fight and Mr. Lama did not want people dying over a piece of land.
He now resides in the US, raising money and attempting to use diplomacy to recover his homeland. It takes alot longer, but no ones' children die in the process.

"Nor has everyone seen one style of existence evolve into yet another form—a reptile right into a mammal, case in point." that could want to disprove evolution. we've in spite of the undeniable fact that, witnessed and documented speciation - the upward thrust up of a clean species. technology has to apply naturalistic ability to describe each thing. it may no longer use the supernatural to describe some thing. And evolution IS shown. a million: shown: 2: shown. 3: no longer truly shown yet, yet exceedingly a lot there. And ultimately: Evolution is 'no longer' about the muse of existence, in spite of the undeniable fact that the muse of species, get that into your thick cranium. in spite of if abiogenesis is inaccurate, evolution will nevertheless be real. no longer maximum superb. Entropy in undemanding words applies to closed structures. Earth isn't a closed equipment.

I don't see extremist Muslims or right-wing militias as attacking atheists.

I respect any atheist who doesn't call my God fake, because to me he's not, but I'd never preach or try & get you to believe you have the right not to believe & people should just leave you alone.

Atheists are the peace loving people of the world. They don't resort to violence.

If we used force, we would be no better then they are. Pacifism is a key element of atheism.

Didn't Stalin use force and all the atheist communists? Millions killed in the name of the state.
