I didn't mean to apply that all atheists have a condition on their stance. It definitely doesn't apply to you. As you note I said "some atheists."
Finally, you said: "Suffering proves the god of christian theism does not exist. It is a point worth repeating. Please stop trying to change the subject."
Was I changing the subject? I also don't believe in the god of Christian theism. I also didn't say we can't prevent all disasters. People suffer after disasters, not before. We can prevent some suffering, and aid the suffering of others. Just because we as humans are not able to totally prevent suffering doesn't mean I am wrong to say it is our responsibility to stop suffering whenever and however we can.
And lastly (and you can keep on with your thread for this point without me, I promise), I don't think copying Christian evangelists who adopt an ideology that people's personal convictions should be changed is worth imitating. Atheists are just as capable of doing great and very good things without religion. And not all religious people are evil because they believe in a god. What you mentally believe or make claim to is insignificant. Instead of trying to get people to change their convictions like Christians do, how about acknowledging the good in people whatever they believe, however they self identify, regardless of creed, ethnicity, etc., and try and find ways of building bridges instead of building walls.
Feeling compelled to preach there is no G-d and condemning those (or at least looking down upon those) who do is no different from preaching and trying to convince others there is one. Our mental acknowledgement or denial of a deity doesn't make or break said deity.
