I would imagine because Christians try to force their views on everybody else, as in the sense of trying to legislate morality. Just like we were talking about in the "wet vote" thread the other day, you saying you were against that county going wet, and "you find nothing good in alcohol". If Christians would stay out of the business of trying to instill their views on government, I'd bet that most non believers, whether atheist or just plain non Christians would leave them alone. Another pet peeve of mine is the prayer in school thing. I don't want any kind of religion stuff added to the school system, mainly because I believe if you allow Christianity stuff allowed at schools, it won't be long until you have all other kinds of religions doing the same thing at schools. Religion is to be taught at home and church, not schools. On a side note, I find it odd that Christians are against gays getting married, saying that it is a biblical institution brought about God, yet they never say a word about an atheist man and woman getting married. This post is just my guess, and may be wrong. It's just a couple of things I find wrong with Christians.

Yet you dont find it offensive for those of the Muslim faith to try to force their Shakira laws, or for those same groups to outright kill those that simply profess to be of the Christian faith? While those of the Christian faith may condem the acts of gay marraiges etc. etc. you are certainly not put to death for those practices like in some areas of the world that practice the Muslim faith. In Iran, you are put to death for having an extramarital affair, all in the name of religion. Whose staying out of the "business" of the other guy here and "forcing" anything on anyone else in your opinion here? Yeah, those Christians seem to be a really rotten to the core bunch. lol.... You condem the one for their verbal objections to those who may not follow their beliefs and dont mention the outright extremes of the physical abuses of the other for not following their faith? Not at a full understanding here, RV.
