Why do nonbelievers...

[mustangguy289]

Take so much time to try to prove their point? They always claim religious people cram our beliefs down their throat... but I feel as if it is the opposite.

Because many non-believers need to convince themselves that they are in control of the world they live in, often by assuming and arguing that all of the universe must be limited to what can be quantified and explained in human terms. It is a futile pursuit, because no true (Christian in my case) believer is or will be swayed to accept human-imposed limitations on God or His Creation.

Not me, I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks about it, and I dont care what you believe or why you believe. I'm educated enough to make my own decisions and not have to explain myself to anyone.

I can't remember the last time I came home and found a pamplet on my door step about God not existing.

H.L. Mencken? Another poor miserable bastard. This guy was also quoted as saying that the "Holy Spirit informed me and led me to the altar", when asked about his marriage (which was another of many subjects he loathed). Looks like religion doesn't have the patent on hypocrisy.

Or have a bunch of atheists knock on my door a few times a week asking if I have rejected Jesus from my life, not to mention all the atheist bake sales I get harassed at while walking by, so the kids can go to atheist camp.

Yup...but maybe he was being sarcastic?

Maybe, but which way? He was such a satirist, a lot of his writings/quotes contradicted themselves.

Good point. I had no idea who he was...I just thought that quote was fitting. It's not who said the words, it's the meaning behind the words.

The only people that knock on my door are teenagers selling magazine subscriptions to "keep kids out of gangs or off drugs" or so they can supposedly win some kind of trip, Oh, and they don't do so anywhere close to "a few times a week", LOL

The only "harassment" as you call it that I get while walking by is from Girl Scouts selling cookies outside of grocery stores. That's some big harassment I must say....

Religion, Jesus, and church camps strangely enough never once get mentioned.
