@KNOWITALL I don’t understand your post. Young earth creationists distort scientific facts and methods just because the evidence goes against their beliefs, so I’m not sure where I went wrong with that claim. I also don’t understand it when you stated that the anger and resentment is one sided, really? First off fluther does not represent the majority of mainstream America, so to use this site to try to debunk the obvious fact that many Christians consistently bad mouth and threaten people who don’t agree with their beliefs, argue against creationism, etc is ridiculous.
I also don’t appreciate the fact that you stated I don’t believe there’s a god. So, I don’t agree with your version of ‘God’ that makes me an atheist by default? I get pounded on here when I try to argue the evidence to support my beliefs, but that’s ok. However, when Christianity gets criticized that’s wrong by default?
I had seen several posts by Christians recently on here stating that they felt sorry for people who had not found the grace of Christ. I’ve seen some Christian posts on here criticize other religions too. However if a non-theist made a statement such as ‘I feel sorry for people who need a god to be happy’ most people on here, including other atheists would be all over them. I’m sorry, but my beliefs don’t get a special pass on here so why should any body else’s?
I’m not claiming that you don’t have the right to believe as you please, where did I state that? Since when is making an argument for the validity of one religion over another, or criticizing creationists for distorting scientific evidence affecting your right to believe as you chose? I’m sorry but you have lost me here.
