I have questions for you. Why do you consider this a good question? Why do you choose slamming believers as a hobby? Do you think this is a good use of your spare time? Do you even have a life to speak of? and last but not least, you want us to stop harassing all of you but you keep on asking the most ridculous questions, why?

My belief in God has caused me no harm. The behavior of some Christian's, that has been harmful.
Maturity in Christ allows us to have a relationship with Him without letting the actions or words of others derail us or hurt us.
And, since being a Christian means I examine my own behavior and ask for God's help when I realize I'm sinning, I don't think that I'm hurting anyone with my faith.

the only attempt to harm me has comes from nonchristains. most athiests I've met act like bullies and treat all christians like dunderheaded idiots. I once had a boss who asked if I belived in god when I said I did he tried to make me look stupid in front of everyone there, so I set him strait and he fired me... 2 of his top machinest walked out with me. I got a much better job less than a week later

No harm is caused by faith in Jesus Christ...the effect of faith in Christ is assurance of salvation:
1 John 5:10-13
10 Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his heart. Anyone who does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. 11 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.
and:
Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control.

It frustrates others to no end... and that is good enough for me and God.
We laugh together.
But as far as real HARM goes... not much. My faith in God helps more than it harms I think.

No harm here. I do enjoy the candid questions from the non-believers, though.

only harm its caused is nothing except create damage to an Atheist pride, which if it occurs could lead him to Christ, So with that said what was your point

None...my disobedience to God has harmed myself and others...my uwillingness to accept and believe all of his promises has harmed myself and others, but when I put my faith in him and follow his instructions I save myself and others from harm!
