How should Atheists and Religous people treat each other?
 
Personally, I think they should treat each other with respect.

Maybe that's because I'm Christian!

What a stupid question.

We should treat those mass delusional loonies with respect.

Especially as we push them off a cliff.

Cybermat47 10-21-12 07:05 PM

Who are you calling the mass delusional loonies?

The guys who believe that some omnipotent being created everything?

Or the guys who believe that...erm...the universe just suddenly decided to spring into existence?

I'd guess with the cold civility with which one treats any mortal enemy outside of open warfare. There is no middle ground as the two beliefs are simply not and never can be compatible with each other.

:woot:Atheist should mind their own business, just like liberals if they don't like something, no one should have it or do it, and that my freind is a mental disorder.:woot:

Au Contraire, Monsieur! I'm a Christian, yet I believe in evolution, the big bang, LGBT marriage rights, sex changes, and, only in extreme cases, abortion and euthanasia.

Both possibilities are equally absurd but in general I think Atheists just want Christians to get out of their lives, and quit trying to pass their own form of "Sharia law".

And I don't think the two are mutually exclusive as laws of nature have to have been created somehow. It's more whether you can accept they were created by a will, or not.

Everyone should treat everyone with respect.




Except perhaps people who make useless polls.

I wouldn't say that this poll is useless.

I mean, yubba and Gargamel obviously think that people who don't share their opinions are insane (and I respect that). But other people, like you, obviously believe everyone (apart from the 13 year old boy writing this right now) deserves respect.

I'm interested in finding out about other peoples opinions. Plenty of people are (No, I'm not going to put up a poll about that).

It's the way you phrased your poll. Instead of being subjective, you put it along the lines of 'should we help old ladies across the street or run them over with our cars?'.

Run them over. Definitely :D


Seriously, though, I see what you mean.

Thanks for the heads up!

I also beg to differ, none of that stuff has anything to do with Atheism.

Oh, yeah.

Damn.

Every side needs to learn how to stop trying to concern themselves with other people's beliefs. If your theist then who are you to tell people to believe in something and if your atheist then who are you to tell people not to believe in something?
