How is it that you claim we Christians are so judgemental when it seems your always degrading us? Also, where is it you believe you are going when you die?

At this point in time, I believe that there is a god, just not necesarily the christian god. I don't degrade others. We are in america, there is supposed to be freedom of religion. i think fundamental christians are the ones who are very judgemental. ( beat their child for looking in a mirror, vanity) I'm not sure where I am going to go when I die. I do believe in a sort of after life, but I also believe my life has a purpose, and I have to fulfill it before I get to go to the after life.

I don't see how I degrade Christians, so I'll leave the second part of the first question alone. Many Christians are quite judgmental; I get told I'm going to hell via email from one of the lovely Yahoo!-Christians almost daily. Some are nice, though.
I am going to be cremated when I die. My consciousness will cease to exist, just as my consciousness did not exist before my life.

In a short answer: "all U Unbelievers"(sic) is a broad, illogical statement, and as judgemental as you're perceiving others to be... where's the balance?
I believe I'll be reborn according to my karma and the state of mind at death... and at the rate of my karmic condition at this moment... probably as a flea on a confused donkey's diseased rear end.

"Unbeliever" is an improper term. We believe in many things, like religious freedom and freedom of expression; we just don't share your belief in the supernatural. I personally prefer nontheist.
If you're honest, you'll have to admit that many Christians really are closed-minded and over-judgmental and deserve to be criticized for not living according to their stated beliefs. (That's not to say that nontheists are perfect; we certainly are not. We have our share of loud-mouths and hypocrites, too.)
Where will we go when we die? We will be buried or cremated and go into the ground or an urn, just like everyone else. All credible evidence leads us to accept that consciousness ends when the brain dies. We don't believe in a soul that survives death.

Into the ground, thats where I'm going.
And if it seems we are defensive, you'll have to forgive us, there are 2 billion of you trying to cram your beliefs down our throats... it pays to be defensive.
We are not degrading you, merely arguing our position, and we go on the offensive because we get so frustrated that you tell us we are going to hell (which doesn't exist) and that we are wrong (despite all of our proof to the contrary). We would be happier with live and let live, but unhappy to live under your moral code of which we do not believe.

Christians ARE judgmental: they believe everyone is going to Heaven or Hell, and they constantly reference one or the other in public with regards to public figures, friends, relatives, clients, people they don't actually know but who dress differently, etc.... You can't get much more judgmental than that.

Nowhere. Non-Christians "degrade" christians because an awful lot of you spend an awful lot of time yelling about how we are wrong and are going to Hell.

Because we are judgemental - and I'm going into the dirt when I die.

We don't degrade Christians... after all - it is WE ATHEISTS who are the most distrusted (in the U.S.). We're just fighting back.
We don't believe we're going anywhere after we die. When we're dead, we're dead. Our bodies are typically then buried.

I, as a fellow believer, believe that judgment is not all that bad. One needs it, otherwise one might be falling off cliffs and buildings on a daily basis.
