Aren’t you a FREE THINKER? If so, why is it so hard for you to allow others to freely think about and believe in G-d?
I forgive you, for fantasying about 'taking action against' me and other people in this world; SIMPLY because we believe in G-d. Do you really think it is healthy to dream about the ‘destruction’ of people, based on their ‘religious views’? Haven’t we, in our history; already had to deal with people who thought along this same line?
Does the name Hitler mean anything to you? Don't you think there is enough unnecessary and unjustified hate in this world?
I'm sorry that MY BELIEF in G-d has caused you to be filled with such dislike of me; eventhough you 'personally' know nothing about me, my family, or our traditions.

Make them all learn about the core concepts of eachother's religions. If christians knew there was no need for a savior and that the Mosaic laws only applied to Jews, everyone else only had the Noahide laws (which are much simpler) and went to heaven eventually simply by being good people, then they'd realize there's no need for a savior and can accept that christianity really is a mashup of Paganism, Mithraism, and Judaism created by man, not the god of the Israelites.

That's not a question, that's an accusation.
Right now, I am worried about the current Bush administration and the step that administration is taking against those who aren't religiously correct.

I am a Christian, and if I became dictator I wouldn't take any steps against atheists or anyone from another religion.
well, I would make them do the "I'm a little teapot" song and dance every hour.

if I became a dictactor, I would abdicate that posiiton.
I would pray for their enlightenment and, if I was able, I would answer their questions to the best of may ability or try to direct them to others who could possibly answer their questions.
Ignorance is over come by knowledge and understanding. Hatred and bigotry are over come by love, compassion and kindness. Unconsciousness is only overcone by conscious awareness. Thougtlessness is over come by mindfulness.
Be and practice peace.

I wouldn't take any steps against them. Religion can be a force for good, as well as a force for evil, despite being based on something I believe to be false. I would take steps to prevent it being used as a force for evil, perhaps, but I wouldn't try to stop people from worshipping - it's their life, what right would I have to stop them from paying homage to A Nice Idea?

The only thing I'd do is remove tax-exempt status for religious activities. If they do real charity work they can have tax break, but praying to some impossible to demonstrate supernatural power ain't one of them.

Most atheists I know would be in favor of freedom of religion. Sorry, you may be on your own on your little hate-crusade.

I'd make sure their pants had a lock on them and they were not allowed within 200 feet of any young boys.
