beerose: sorry I wasn't tring to judge anyone,I just feel a lot of hate coming out of some of the post,
Yes, some people are full of hate, but sometimes you may think you're sensing hate when it's not there. So like you say it is not wise to judge. One person's irreverent comment or joke can be taken as hatred by someone on the other side of the screen... hate is a serious and offensive accusation to make, and it is not a term you should throw around casually, broad-brushing entire groups with the accusation. If you're going to accuse someone of hatred you ought to back up that claim and direct it toward a specific offender, instead of simply flinging the accusation out into the ether.
beerose: I grew up believing in God and I can't just throw Him away!
And I don't think anyone is asking you to throw God away, I live in the USA which has as a basic principle the idea that freedom of religion is a right. But if you want to discuss atheism/theism you ought to realize that you are exposing yourself willingly to opposing views. I enjoy that opportunity since I was prevented from doing so for so long in the WTS.
beerose: Again sorry for affending
Speaking for myself, you did not offend me, but that's probably only because I did not understand at all what you were talking about with the killing and raping people for fun comments. If I did, perhaps then I would have been offended.
