I don't understand the militant attitudes towards faith. Yeah, there are militant sects of every faith, even the lack of faith has violent extremists...
I'm a Christian. I believe in God. I believe in good and evil. I've never killed anyone or yelled in anyone's face.
Mostly, I just keep my religion to myself. What I believe is my own choice, and what others believe is theirs. I can't control your faith. I can talk to you about it if you're interested, but I won't yell at you if you don't believe in God. Mostly, I'll just pray for you...how is this harmful?
ALL of my Christian buddies are like me in this way. In fact, it's my athiest/agnostic friends that do the more shouting at us than anything else.
I just want to let you all know that we're not all freaks that want the world to end ASAP. Would I care? Not really, if things were to go down fast, I know where I'm going...but I'd rather live a full life before any of that happens.
My message to religious radicals: God wants spiritual fruits, not religious nuts.
