I don't know. After reading this thread, I wouldn't mind smacking him. And I'm not even a "Christard".

If this were true then you could put atheist on your resume next time you look for a job. Yes, I agree that would be an utterly crazy and counterproductive thing to try.

The Atheist-haters will either ignore or deny this truth.

You are at least as likely to be rejected if you put Christian on your resume due to the politically correct notion that somehow, all majorities are inherently racist. If you really think thay you as an atheist are being persecuted, consider that under 2% of the US population consider themselves Atheist, but they have succeeded in removing prayer from public schools, Christmas trees form town greens and the Ten Commandments from the court house.
Muslims 0.8 to 3.5% of the US population, have gotten ritualistic foot washing facilities and time set aside to pray, while Christian children can not hold prayer meetings or Bible studies after or before school hours.

Just who is being persecuted here?

Very true. There seems to be more evidence that Christians are being persecured than atheisist.

You should work on opening your eyes though. The Dominionists are a powerful force and they are not nice people.

The Dominionists have lost a lot of their influence. It largely left on the helicopter with Bush.

They are IMO a dangerous and powerful group of terrorists. They haven't yet came up on most people's radar because they are not Trotskyites, but they are, and pretty much admit to being, disruptive terrorists if and when the need/opportunity should arise. If you would make a thread on that proposition you would be on much more solid ground.

When I was in high school (1992 to 1996), Christian children had after-school religious meetings on school grounds.

Polls consistently show that Atheists are the most stigmatized, hated group in this country, with Muslims and homosexuals much more likely to get elected to public offices than open Atheists.

Atheists are harassed and theatened with death in some parts of this country. Did you both watching the youtube video that I posted in this thread?

Bible and prayer clubs in public schools are still perfectly legal. For now.

Hey I'm not disputing that atheists have been threatened, attacked and are stigmatized.

But Christians are being more stigmatized every day too. How often have you heard in a conversation "religious fundamentalist," "religious fanatic," "religious nut," "bible thumper," and other such term as insults?

Also, Christianity is being more and more marginalized in this country because of people like you. Richard Dawkins, an avowed atheist, wrote a book calling people that believe in god "delusional."

An atheist, Michael Newdow, is pushing to have Pledge Of Allegiance changed because it has the word "God" in it. Newdow is also pushing to have the words "In God We Trust" removed from our money.

Christians have been under attack by one group or another since the religion began such as the Romans feeding them to the lions. Christians are under attack till this day in other parts of the world such as by Muslims in Muslim countries. No atheists have been feed to the lions by the Romans simply because of their beliefs, and Muslims kill far more Christians than they do atheist.

So stop it already with the "boo-hoo, everyone is out to get me because I’m an atheist." Your much too smart for that. BUT, to answer your question; Yes I saw the video and No I don’t condone such behavior against atheist or anyone for that matter.

Now answer me this question, do you at least agree that Christianity is more threatened and more under attack than atheists? – Yes or No?

No. This is clearly not the case, since most positions of power in this country are held by Christians.

Are you kidding? Attempting to get that out of the pledge and off the money is an 'attack on Christianity'?

Ah yes, the Christians are EVERYWHERE! They're watching you right now.

Seriously though, why am I not surprised you'd say that.
