		<description>If we want to be objective, let us put away whatever prior knowledge and prejudice first. Then, let us try to read Holy Quran with our open mind. I am sure we will find a new horison of a new way of viewing our wolrd. Just try to read, Dear friends....</description>

		<description>You assume here that all believers are unintelligent.  I understand every word of your attempt to make yourself sound superior, and I&#039;m not impressed.  I have met different &quot;types&quot; of people who call themselves atheists.  Some seem to be at peace, which is hard for me to understand, because my peace comes from knowing God.  However, that is not for me to judge.  Then, I see people who are angry, clearly not at peace with their anti-religious philosophy.  This makes more sense to me, but it makes me sad.  

If you have confidence in your belief system, you would have no need to make those different from you feel inferior.  I understand that people of all faiths behave this way, and it wrong on all accounts.  I can appreciate that atheists are tired of certain stereotypes, so are Christians.  It is automatically assumed, that because of my faith, I am lacking in intellectual ability.  It just isn&#039;t true, and I hope that more people would understand this.  

That being said, as a Christian, I am not here to &quot;fit in&quot; with the world.  My heart is with all of those who are suffering, and I hope that you all find peace.  I just think that greeting misunderstanding with hostility is no way to treat anyone.  It will only tear down communication, and widen the gulf between people of different beliefs.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think people are necessarily asking you to be rude or to be judgmental(if they are that&#039;s a whole other story). but i think its simply human nature to feel like you should believe in something. not that all people do but but for most people its natural. please don&#039;t believe that you are above people for there beliefs just as you wouldn&#039;t want them to look down on you for your beliefs(or lack of).i think that you should be more open with the discussion of mind and the things you believe to be true or not. i thought this was a &quot;friendly atheist&quot; website?!</description>

		<description>way to Step Up, atheists! very nice thread; i&#039;ll be stealing a lot of the good ones. titter, it would be fun to go make trouble at a religious event with some of you, i can see that. ;-)

if i like them and just don&#039;t want to embarrass them, i say, &quot;well, i studied comparative semitic philology and the anthropology and languages of pre-monotheistic religions in Divinity school for ten years, so it&#039;s sort of complicated.&quot; people&#039;s eyes glaze over and they change the topic, quick.

if i don&#039;t like them, i say, &quot;i believe you&#039;re an inferior for asking the question, but really, do you want to know?&quot; again, i rarely get an affirmative reply.</description>

		<description>We had an atheist at church wednesday night.  we were studying the book of Daniel. It was good to have him there. He said some good things. I hope he comes back. No one tried to convert him nor did he try to convert us...we just all listened to each other.</description>
