Is it just me or has any other Christian noticed that the atheist......

As an Atheist, I do not reject -- even less try to disprove -- the existence of a god. However, I find those topics pretty inresting in that they highlight the fact that the many Man-made gods are extremely unlikely to exist, thus providing a good 'counterweight' to the majority of Bible-bashers here who throw God into every discussion and self-righteously claim that His existence cannot be doubted. Oooops! Here goes my star rating again! ;)

I have not seen atheists at all today trying to debunk the belief in God. I did see a conversation about prejudicial treatment in politics against atheists. Which I find based in truth. I am a christian and find your broad statement offending. I concern myself with my faith, and leave others to thier own way of working out spiritual matters. I found that particualr discussion on politics fasinating. I am secure with my faith not to feel threatened by non believers.. not sure you are.

I'm drawn to the religious discussions here, because I see so many misunderstandings about atheists. I'm not out to deliberately convert anyone, but it's hard to argue against someone who declares that atheists are amoral, stupid, or hopelessly miserable without getting into the details of what underlies our lack of faith. Many atheists feel compelled to keep quiet about their views in the real world; so the Internet gives us an opportunity to address the types of people who wouldn't let their children play with ours, or wouldn't vote for us in a million years, if we ran for office. You said, "Either you have faith or you don't". I couldn't agree more. The problem is that, just as you'll find some non-believers starting what seem like rude, generalizing posts about religious people, you'll find religious people doing the exact same thing about atheists.

A lot of atheists are extremely adamant about debunking god or Christianity in particular. I think it comes with the territory, they reject god and insist on making others do the same. Its ironic that so many atheists complain about Christians trying to force them to convert (which I haven't seen anyways) when stuff like this is so prevalent as well.
