They’re very, very frightened people. We atheists are going to destroy their fantasy world and deep in their hearts, they know it.

Ah, so the majority is being persecuted again. Poor them, only having 90% of the population on their side.

Remind me, how often do atheists, agnostics, secularists (etc.) wander into churches and scream at the congregation, telling them that they’re a bunch of credulous asses?

I guess that bit about “do unto others” is lost on these loudmouths.

I’m happy to see I’m not the only one who immediately thought of tasers!

Much of it is the attention grabbing.
I think it’s akin to the grown women Steinbeck describes in Travels With Charlie who gathered to scream obscenities at a little girl for being the first to integrate a school.

I don’t know. I find this behaviour very typical of religious people, esp those of the Evangelical Fundamentalist branch. They invariably get hysterical when you say their god doesn’t exist. IF they were really secure in their beliefs, they would not become so irrational and hysterical when someone said their god didn’t exist- esp at events like this. They would say, “Oh well” and move on- as long as you didn’t attack them about it.

Now if a person were being attacked about their beliefs, then I could see being defensive, but that wasn’t the case here. These two just crashed the party. No one said they had to come. No one said they had to go and listen to Dan, but they did come and crashed the discussion. They did it to force their view on people. That is very rude IMO, yet very typical of the extremely religious, which I see an awful lot of around here.

Some people are like that. It is not a Christian/non-Christian thing.
