If you're serious then I would just like to say:
Idiots like you are the MAIN reason so many people are turning towards atheism. Intelligent people see you and think: ''OMG, I never, ever want to be associated to anything that guy is associated to.''
I hope this is a joke, otherwise: YOU ARE HOPELESS.

Actually, I believe Atheism is on the decline. I don't understand the need of some people to attack Christians for their beliefs. I mean if it comes to other lifestyles not associated with religion, you would usually say, "To each his own." But the second someone makes a thread on some site about their beliefs, you have to come in droves to attack them. Forget an intelligent discussion. Forget "To each his own." Pretty hypocritical if you ask me.
And to those who said something about him shoving his beliefs down your throat, who made you come in this thread, read what he posted, and then post a response? YOU did.

Why would you say that atheism is on the decline? There is little evidence for this. Atheists in America outnumber religious Jews for god's sake.
Are you honestly going to defend the propogana this thread is positing?
Also, the "to each his own" proposal is a wishy-washy one. How will we ever be able to progress as human beings without saying what we think? You would dare to ask me to censor my beliefs to "respect" yours? Pretty arrogant if you ask me.
In discussions of religion, just as in any other discussion, you make your points, state your reasoning and don't go out of your way to use derogatory language. This thread, however, is based on a statement that has no logical foundation and deserves little to no respect.

I say Atheism is declining because while there are more Atheists than before, the percentage of those who are Atheist is smaller. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_atheism#Geographic_distribution
And "to each his own" is definitely not wishy-washy. No one should have beliefs shoved down their throats, nor should they be open to insults for stating their beliefs. Do I fully believe what this guy posted? No. But I'm not going to sit here in throw insults at the guy because I don't. Just like I don't believe in Atheism, but I'm not going to go out of my way to go in every Atheist thread and call them idiots for not believing in God because I somehow feel I'm superior to them intellectually. That is what is truly arrogant.

Um, yeah, that would also be arrogant, but where are you seeing people "shoving their beliefs down their throats?" It seems like you're mistaking an emphatic word choice for one of malice. Your wikipedia reference is also more than five years old.
his guy is being insulted because he's saying something that has no real basis for being said (which is stupid). Not because he believes in God. Don't make this more than what it is.
