Why can't we all be kinder to one another despite our differences?

For example, whoever is giving a thumb-down to every single person... why? People are being nice here. That's a wonderful thing.

Some of my best "friends" in this area are christians. I respect and like them. I hope they feel the same about me. I try very hard to be kind. Sometimes I am a smart a**, but its not aimed at individuals.

I don't hate people for what they are or what they believe in. I may not agree with what they believe but that does not make me hate them. It's how they act that makes me hate/dislike. I generally like all people to begin with, until they show their true colors. If how they act seems ignorant, rude, cruel, hateful, offensive, etc., then I will start to dislike them.
Take this site, for example. There's several Christians that I have seen who like to say that "God is love," yet hurl insults at anyone who questions the Christian faith. A lot of Atheists on here seem to like to ask questions for the simple fact that they want to anger as many Christians as possible. It is rude and unnecessary, and THOSE are the type of people I dislike.

Although I'm a Christian, I have many atheist friends. So no, I don't dislike atheists. And since my atheist friends still hang out with me, I can only assume that they enjoy my company, as well. I don't go around disliking people simply because they don't hold the same beliefs that I do.

Christianity is the most tolerant and open minded of all religions. If I have to exist with anybody, I'd rather with a christian. In spite of me being an atheist

I don't dislike Christians. My family is christian, after all.
I don't know any non-believers in the real world. If I disliked christians, I wouldn't have anybody.

Religion is too sensative of a topic to get along about. Sorry but it's the truth. There will probably never be peace among the religions.

Most of the people I know are Christians. I love them all.

To answer concisely, yes. Christians ruin a big part of atheists' lives... just because they can.
Why don't you tell that to all your bible-sucking homophobic friends out there? Why don't you ask Jerry Falwell or Pat Robertson, or Ted Haggard? Why don't you ask George Bush and the majority of the republican party?

I dislike people that cant even show decency and respect towards those they disagree with.
