No offence, but in my experience atheists are some of the biggest assholes in the universe. The rest of the asshole population is primarily made up of Right Wing Conservatives, with the remainder being comprised of Muslim Extremists, racists, Zionists and the like.
Coincidence? I think not. Extremism in any direction leads to hate, or at the very least makes you an asshole (but far more often leads to hate). People need to take a damn chill pill and recognize that none of us have existence figured out. Maybe if we all sat down and listened to each other instead of yelling at each other to STFU we might actually get somewhere.
Oh, and perpetually referring to someone's beliefs as a "fairy tale" simply because you disagree with them is some seriously hateful bigotry. There's a reason we have laws that defend against discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability or religion.

I have repeatedly asked for someone to show me how their religious text has more merit than a fairy tale. Maybe you can rise up to the challenge? It's not hateful bigotry, it's how things stand. Do eligious people really not think about the authenticities of the source material they are following?
As for how to treat religious, people. Live and let live. They don't try to mess with my business and I don't think of hem as raving lunatics. They start trying to pass all forms of retarded laws, and that's when I start labeling the supporters are gullible lunatics, incicdentally, they are almost always religious. Bsically, as soon as religious people stop trying to push their views down people's throats I'll be happy.

Without going into to much detail - because it is time to go to bed, and because you can do your own research, it is generally believed that Jesus Christ was a living person, and not made up. There is plenty of evidence which im sure you can Google. Obviously I can't give you evidence that Jesus Christ is Lord - that is a faith.

There is also supporting evidence that King Arthur actually was based on a person as well, not just made up. Dragons have also been referenced in cultures which never had any form of communication with each other and the details are eerily similar (serpent, flames, wings, etc.). Meanwhile religious texts and god vary wildly among cultures.
So these are just two quick examples of fairy tales with equivalent and stronger backing than the bible. A part that is true does not make the whole true.
