William B, did you really just call me egotistical? I'm an atheist. Thanks.

No. What I wish is that every human being tried their best every day to treat the whole world and everyone in it as they would like to be treated themselves, to be kind, considerate, tolerant, truthful, to strive not to hurt others, to strive to help one another and to be the best possible persons they could be.
I want to address the subtext of this question too, and of a lot of your answerers. Each of you has the right to be an atheist or anything else you choose - I may not agree with your beliefs, but I respect your right to choose for yourself and I do not mock your choices. I respect the way others worship God - I think maybe God has many faces that each of us may know Him in different ways. I don't think the atheists are correct, but I understand and respect their reasoning - maybe if I had grown up in different circumstances or never seen Christ, I would think the same - I don't think so, but I don't know. I know some Christians are intolerant and narrow minded, but not all of us are like that - and if you think it is wrong for Christians to be so, than don't you think it is wrong for anyone to be intolerant and narrow minded, whether atheist, Christian, Muslim, whatever? Surely two wrongs do not make a right? Although, this is a good forum too vent in, and verbal bashing is better than real bashing, what is the good of either? I like rhyme and reason better and live and let live.

If the whole world was good, how would you know what bad is? If the whole world were Christian, The world would be quit different. There would be no murder, no rap, no stealing, no lying, no one cheating others. Like John lennon sang, "Imagine." Thats all we can do is dream. But this is why we all have free will. Some choose not to live in harmony. This is what happens when people have free will. Not everyone will choose the way you or I would.

I have an idea: Let's all run around skyclad, love the environment, love animals, help each other when needed, stop being chauvinist pigs and admit there is male and female deity, be more tolerant of our neighbors, stop the wars and promote peace. Then we'd all be Pagans. YAY!

The aim of every religious organization, Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu, etc., is total domination over the populous. They are more than simply the purveyors of a dogmatic belief; but they are also the self-appointed monitors of individual behavior and they stand poised and ready to act as would-be puppeteers for a boundary-less government. That's the bottom line of evangelism.

I wish the whole world was rastafarian, then we could get ital food everywhere and it would be acceptable to smoke weed on a daily basis.

I am sorry girl but that is the most saddest question I have ever heard, religion is why the earth is so behind from what it could be. My life has been a lot nicer now that I don't believe in anything.TELL you the truth I don't even have nightmares anymore because I don't fear anything anymore, I don't live in fear and I feel so free.

No, I do not. God forgives those who, being born in a "pagan" faith, no nothing of him, so we should too. It is not a crime to be Hindu, Shinto, Buddist, etc., and should not be believed as such.
If we forced people to become under one religious banner, we would be no better than Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Fidel Castro, or other dictators. We should accept other people for what they are, not force them to be what they do not wish to be.
