Is it somewhat hypocritical for...?

The first response is insinuating that special needs children and/or adults are inferior, and that is why he/she said " are you special?". I would think any person Atheist or not would find that comment very offensive,especially if they have a child,relative, or friend that requires " special needs". ( My Logic)

Anyway, what exactly isn't hypocritical these days?

I'm sure you can find a hole in just about every argument.

To me, if what a person says is right or true, it doesn't really matter whether or not they're a hypocrite. " Eat the Chicken, Throw out the bones."( My Logic)

My opinion, as an agnostic person, is that I wander onto many different boards out of curiosity, or because questions are posted on the front page of Y/A. I don't really feel like the section of Y/A dealing with religion is a closed club, where I'm not welcome - am I wrong? I really try not to force my beliefs down others' throats, because I've had people do that to me and I know how annoying and frustrating it is. As an agnostic/atheist person, I do spend some time thinking about religion and spirituality, and this board is one place I can come to read what others think and challenge my own beliefs. I would be sad to be barred from it simply because I do not toe the same line as others.

Well I am Christian but I understand that the board is for the open discussion of the topic of religion and spirituality. You can discuss the topic with out being religious or spiritual. I can go over to the politics section even though I am not a politician.

They are here to discuss the topic it is as simple as that. Some may have an agenda and may be trying to convert others, but in general it is about having an opportunity to speak your mind.

My opinion is that you are sadly misinformed.

I don't hate Christianity, I just don't believe in any of that nonsense.

I'm not here to force anyone to believe anything they don't want to, but when it comes to history, science, and the truth about what is real and what is not, I'm here to correct the misinformed and provide some education.

Have a real grateful day.

You're (stupidly) assuming our lack of belief in your one-dimensional god is not a belief in itself, in fact, you'll find atheists have thought much harder than you do simply by the virtue that we question the word and you follow it blindly because you were born into religion. We chose not to be ergo have much more to say on the matter

I can't believe you are actually suggesting that someone would want Christians to force their religion down his throat!

NOBODY wants that! In fact that is the reason why people are so defensive when it comes to christians

this section is not exclusive to christianity, it has to do with spirituality, which some atheists are indeed. and since atheists stand for not believing in god, they're acting as the yin to your yang, the contradictions to your beliefs, it comes with the territory

Are atheists trying to get currency to advertise atheism? Or have a national day of no-praying?

It's theists who oppose religious freedom.

My opinion is that not many of us hate Christianity. We just see the dangers of it in certain forms.

It is a free and open forum.

Awwhhh do the Christians feel persecuted?
