You say I explained to you my belief and faith and relgion, so tell me all about me.

If you reread my last post carefully you will see that I did not say you had a religion. I said " atheism is as dogmatic a belief system as any religion on this planet". And I repeat that you are expressing your beliefs in this system quite plainly. The proof is in the constant dogmatic statements you make about it.
And no I do not need a hint. The bright orange letters in your sig are more than obvious.

But despite his faith. Please. How can you make such a bold assumption about anyone else? Or me for that matter. Do you have special powers?
Oh wait I think the police just kicked in the door.

I challenge you to search any of the posted links, organizations etc a find any kind of opposing viewpoints. If you can I retract my statement. If not they are obviously biased.

This is a play on words. I did not call atheists believers. Apparently that's offensive. Atheists have a system of belief, a doctrine, that is well documented. You ascribe to it and believe it to be true. If you think that's absurd it's not my problem.
As to how this all started, let's review.
The first line of your first post: "This is why the freedom of the internet must be defended at all cost against attempts to gag it, to censor it, to control it, to ban it."
I agree with that statement.
My question to you is does this freedom include expressions of belief what ever they may be? Your subsequent statements about burning churches and books makes me question that first line. You need to clear that up in a definite way.
If this freedom of speech that you are defending is conditional then your cause is suspect.
I ended my last post with this:
"This thread began on the subject of free speech on the internet and the fear that it might be restricted. I'll go on record to say that I believe in complete freedom of thought, speech and belief,
regardless of my own personal belief."
I ask you if you agree with it. You did not reply.

No. It is in direct reference to your statement, "I am not your friend" It was an attempt at respect. Sorry if it offends you. I can't help it. My dogmatic belief system requires me to love and respect all the other humans.
