Oh, hang on.

I think it's just a given that we persecute minorities. Especially outspoken ones. It's not nice, fair, or just, but it happens.

Especially with religion, which does all it can to widen gaps, oh well.[/quote]
It is not valid to compare one religious group persecuting another to how non believers would treat believers, given they had numbers.

how would they treat them?

Like they treat them now. Religious groups have motivations to force people to convert. Atheists just want people to believe what's true. They don't "Get into heaven" by converting heatens. All that ignorance does is promotes ignorance. Nothing worth killing people over. People aren't better off dead than wrong. You'd be hard pressed to find an Atheist that disagrees with that mentality.

Isn't that sort of the same thing if we consider the thing in question?

	I'm so sick of these kind of discussions.

	Fuck of with your xenophobic bull shittery, why do people take whacks at religion so much at the moment? What does one gain from taking time and effort to write these? Rage, boiling, over!

To be fair, many Christians are equally as intolerant of atheism (and other beliefs different from their own) as some atheists are of Christianity and other religions.
Religion's unhealthy anyway. No person should have to regulate their feelings and behaviour as severely as all that.

	A Jehovah's witness attempted to convert me at my own front door step when I refused the leaflet she'd been giving out. She said atheism and nihilism are 'evil' and only God can save me.

	I've never had an experience like that. The only people I've met who try to force the issue are Atheists. Always.

	I have no problem with atheists at all, they bring rationality to a world sometimes to devoid but the arrogance that the average hard core atheist exudes is mind boggling. Not only do I tolerate atheism but almost all other religions as well. If you believe that a blue guy with seven arms created the world, good for you and may you stay faithful for years to come!

	You guys don't get this because Strike Witch is a retard and didn't change the forum code, but that was her response to a really arrogant and agressive retard on a far far shittier forum than this.

	Wait hang on, I don't understand now...what happened?
	Posted 06-13-2011 at 04:07 PM by STM

	She made a post calling an atheist out on another forum She copies the post code and pastes it here to look cool She fails miserably

Fix'd.

	The I apologize to Strike Witch, I thought you were being the douchebag. Sorry.
	Posted 06-13-2011 at 04:38 PM by STM

	for the first time in years, i understand what the fuck is going on.
	Posted 06-13-2011 at 05:37 PM by MA

	You would.

	I may be as intolerant to Christians as they are to atheists, but the facts remains that my beliefs are obviously right.

	Lots of ignorant ones though
	Posted 06-13-2011 at 06:23 PM by Mac Sirloin

	Ignorance certainly doesn't require a creed.

	Deviant Art finally added a religion forum. It's the most fun I've had since the great god debate of 2010.
	Posted 06-13-2011 at 07:05 PM by Bullet Magnet

	oh shit, seriously? that sounds awesome.
	Posted 06-13-2011 at 08:04 PM by Strike Witch

	Bullet Magnet you being on a DeviantArt forum for religion is just not cricket for every single other member who has any religious views. Just...just to mean.
	Posted 06-14-2011 at 05:27 AM by STM

	They have full control over their participation.
	Posted 06-14-2011 at 09:11 AM by Bullet Magnet

	Yeah but they are stupid furries...
	Posted 06-14-2011 at 09:22 AM by STM

	Not everyone on dA are furries. You also get scaleys, narutards, scum, villainy, aspies and general retards.
	Posted 06-14-2011 at 09:47 AM by Wings of Fire

	I thought you were being defensive until I read the second paragraph.
	Posted 06-14-2011 at 10:25 AM by Dixanadu

	They don't tend to participate in the same forums as me. Certainly not for long. Honestly, from the inside, I rarely encounter that which apparently dA is so famous for. I've only twice engaged in that conversation (read: trolling), and it was during them that I invented the anthro-barnacle that would go on, with MeechMunchie's encouragement, to infect the Skyrim thread here.
	Posted 06-14-2011 at 10:43 AM by Bullet Magnet

	Ah, yes. Good times. I briefly considered at the time what the slang for a crustaceophile would be. 'Shelly' just sounds like a name for a tortoise. Also, WikiSpecies surprised me by telling me that barnacles are crustaceans, not molluscs. I suppose it makes sense. They don't have slug feet and they have feelers. Plus all that genetics shit.
