    "Atheism also have faith... in evolution/love/gravity"

    I don't know why they do that... honestly... I think they're just trying to illogically justify their beliefs.

    It is not my purpose to make atheists look bad.

    It is common to complain about Christians witnessing or in some way forcing their religion down your throat.

    It seems simple enough to tell them you must be going please leave . If they refuse to lead call the police.

    Atheism is also a system of beliefs. As you probably know Joseph Stalin as an atheist, killed more people than Adolph Hitler . Most here are trying to project the idea that humans are humans and all make horrific mistakes . We cannot say atheists are somehow more moral when the facts do not support this premise. Christians do not behave better than many atheists and sometimes behave much worse.

    My purpose is to point out that people are individuals and we should not judge them as a group as this is simple bigotry.

    Don't you mean why do Atheist try to make Christians look bad, there the ones who want you to not believe in a God. All a Christian will do is pray for them and that's all. Atheist are the more verbal out speakers.

    They think they are cleverly turning the atheist arguments against atheism itself. It's kinda sad.

    Kinda funny that they're actually insulting themselves half the time when doing this... Not to mention the fact that it just shows how little they know about the topic.

    Kinda like a Chef who constantly calls a Physicist a "dumb casserole maker".

    We never compare atheists to Christians.

    You are the children of satan. The internet lists atheist churches and you come here to proselytize.

    So in that respect you are correct. A church of satan.

    im not atheist, i believe in God but i absolutely don't like christians considering that their fake, judgmental, hypocrite, grudge holding, inconsiderate immature beings that need to grow the **** up and stop judging everyone else, catholics are no different.
