atheist is the devil

[quizlixx]

"you are evil" any of you guys heard that before. because my christian friends think i am "tempting" them. and are doing great good for jesus when they refuse to talk to me.

[curiosityandthecat]

Just goes to show you how weak their convictions are if they believe that the simple fact you disagree with them is "tempting".  

I'm sure there's very few of us (public nonbelievers) around here who have heard this before. I personally used to hear it all the time before I moved to a rather liberal area. I basically just group it into the same category as heterosexual men being made to feel uncomfortable just because another man puts his penis in a different place than his own. If you're comfortable with your [strike:13k7jtqp]faith[/strike:13k7jtqp]sexuality why would someone with different [strike:13k7jtqp]beliefs[/strike:13k7jtqp]tendencies bother you?

Strange, strange people.

i guess i was tempting one of my best friends when he brought up religion and i had some valid points for my case. his parents don't let me come over anymore. man, theists are funny.

I "tempt" people with rationalism all the time, but it's never uninvited. If someone wants to discuss religion, they're going to get a healthy dose of reality from me (if I have time).

deadhead, anyone who can't face up to the reality of what you are without infecting the situation with their own personal dogma, fear and prejudice does not deserve the privilege of your companionship. You can't have a real friendship if there's that kind of unacceptance and judgement going on, whatever it may be against. Tell them that, see if it changes their attitude and if it doesn't then fuck 'em. Go find some new friends. Ones who aren't morons, preferably.

I understand why theist believe what they do.And anyone who is Godless frightens them,because we go against their way of thinking.Fear of death...a fear that we cease to go on in the afterlife is to much for some.You shouldn't put yourself in a place with people who can't see your side to.I'm not saying they have to side with you,just to understand that you are unlike them and accept you for that.

Me? Evil..? No! How could anyone even think that?!  
Here is what "Asmodean" was derived from

i carry a pitchfork as a matter of principle.  it has absolutely nothing to do with being evil.  maybe.

That sounds like fear.  People fear what they don't understand.  They fear the bible for crying out loud!

I wonder if they believe in the closet monster too... There are books mentioning closet monsters. Movies too...  

Oh well... Religion is all about fear and hope. You give people something to fear and a hope of "salvation" and they will follow like a flock of mindless zombies.

That's true - one of the best worst movies of all time is entitled "Monster in the Closet".

I agree. I can't stand it when people see life in one of those two-way mirrors. All they see is their way (themselves). (flawed comparison, I know, but it's late/early...) But it can sometimes be very difficult to avoid those situations. I get annoyed and pissed, but then I get over it. Life goes on.
