Troll or not, I'm bored and can respond as I wish. First, I am an atheist, and I do not go around trying to destroy things that you people believe. None of us here do that. If you haven't fucking noticed, this is FRIENDLY ATHEIST.com. This is one of many places WE go to avoid YOU. Who is attacking who now? We won't teach our children that there is no Christmas and no Easter because those are recognized holidays. They do indeed exist, but we choose to celebrate them in a different way, or not at all. So for some, the holidays may not exist FOR THEM, but if you look on any calendar, there they are in print. They exist. So many atheist(s) are phon(e)y? How about...I don't know, Ted Haggard? I can list about 20 phony and so-called "Christians" if you'd like. I wouldn't waste my time praying if I had a dying family member. I would take that time to find a doctor who knew what the hell they were doing to help my family. You can sit in a chair and cry to God if you want, but I'd rather make results. "Believe what you want, just keep it from me and the rest of us believers." You do remember, as I've said, that you are on an Atheist-based Website, yeah? Would you say that to someone of another faith, say a Jew or Muslim? Would you tell a gay person to keep away from you as though they had some contagion? And no, nobody holds a gun to our children when someone prays at school, but they sure as hell start threatening to when we want our beliefs respected. YOU get real and fucking grow up, you illogical twit. Did I just feed the Troll? Yes, yes I did. Am I proud of this? Well, it's a first for me, so yes, but shame will settle in soon. Feel free to comment, reta. I will talk to you all night. Holy hell, you are late to the game, but I’ll play along. Troll or not, I’m bored and can respond as I wish.

We can't make you believe but you must have a lot of hate to want to make the majority of the people miserable. Also, as my stepdaughter states, she is atheist and proud of it so why are they home getting ready to celebrate Christmas and they also celebrate Easter. Shouldn't they be teaching their children that there is no Christmas and that there is no Easter. So many atheist are so phoney. I bet the majority of you would be praying if you are laying there in terrible pain or have a child dying but believe what you want, just keep it from me and the rest of us believers. Also, nobody holds a gun to your child when someone prays at a school or a team sport. Get real and grow up.

If the truth be told, I imagine that Anne's post was meant to start a dialog about the apparent hypocrisy that is often displayed in churches because of the disparity between what we say and the way we feel. However, like you so rightly stated, these things are not exclusive to Christians and we are simply trying to figure out the best way to live out our faith in a way that makes it more appealing to those who might be looking for answers in the Church. People like you make it so easy to bridge the 'gap' that sadly exists between Christians and others who believe differently than we do. Thank you.
