Are they illegal? A violation of the 4th Amendment?

Do you think it's going too far to allow "transport safety officers" to grope the genitals of prepubescent children?

Or are you fine with sacrificing freedom for (the appearance of) security?

I'm going to assume that you believe Christianity is true and mormonism is not. Please explain why?

ask a question directed specifically at atheists, and then block any atheist that responds?

I guess my question could be divided up as follows:

If you're a theist, and have done this, why?

If you're a theist, and you haven't, why do you think some theists do it?

If you're an atheist, and you have done this (reversed, of course), why?

If you're an atheist, and you haven't done this, why do you think some do? And do you think atheists do it, too?

After all, I wouldn't notice if atheists did it to theists, so I'm not going to assume necessarily that only theists do this.

I'm referring specifically to Catholic opposition to a New York State bill called the Child Victims Act, which would allow those abused by Catholic priests over the years to sue the Catholic church?

Do you think it is morally defensible to not let these victims sue? How do you reconcile that with Jesus' message? Specifically e.g. Luke 18,16.

Purely hypothetically, what event, experience, evidence, anything, could make you change your mind on your deity's existence, and come to the conclusion that your deity did not exist?

Okay, so according to you, proof of your god would invalidate the whole concept, because we have to have faith without proof or evidence, yes? (If no, please discount this question, you're obviously not in the target demographic.)

But, you also keep claiming that atheists are ignorant and blind, possibly even that we actually believe in your god but just deny it because we want to sin without repercussions etc. So if it's so obvious that there's a god, doesn't that invalidate your faith?

If there is so obviously a god, doesn't that make your faith unnecessary?

Even more interesting, why do you bother trying to prove your Bible is factual and your god are real?

This is why:

Now can we all agree that this law is batsh!t insane?

If not, please explain exactly why not.

Admittedly, I haven't done actual statistical analysis, I haven't taken an unbiased sample, and I don't have any reason for this conclusion other than personal experience, which, as we know, is inherently flawed. But it seems to me that quite a lot of theists have their Q&As private, and only very few atheists/agnostics/deists? What do you think? Am I right? And why?

Or does it depend on what they do in life (i.e. works), or what?

Why is it, that when I refer to Christianity, or Judaism, or Hinduism, or Buddhism, as silly superstitious primitive nonsense, then I'm told that I am an atheist, and that I will suffer eternal torment (or whatever). But when I say the same thing about islam, then I am told all this, AND I am told that I am a racist? Why do you think everyone who does not like your religion is a racist?
