Interesting.
Could I trouble you with a few questions? I've asked similiar question
of believers, so I'm interested in what an athiest feels. What is the basis
of your antipathy to others christian beliefs? Were you abused by a priest,
a minister, a rabbi? Were you taught athiesm by your parents? Is it the
result of a pathlogical need to assert a contrary opinion, or similarly, a
protective need to affect a superior intellectal pose? Of the possibility of
judgement?. If it's just that their beliefs insult your intelligence, why
not just ignore them? It's seems so much easier and less disruptive.
Personally I tend to ignore that which doesn't interest me, so I've
often wondered why those who assume the stance athiest are so deeply
offended by christians in particular, is it because of their specific
beliefs? If so, it doesn't seem to make sense. People believe all sorts of
things, or people intellectual or scientific concepts or ideas, none of
which cane be pursued to a logical explanation. Or is it something in the
christians lifestyles, their socio-cultural behavior that the athiest finds
so disturbing? Or might the athiest is just frightened by notions of
metaphysicality? I suppose if one fixes ones understanding on the idea of an
absolute physical reality, something hich doesn't support that view would be
worrying. People often attack concepts that frighten their world view. No
offense intended. I'm just curious, and I like observing what people think

Can't speak for his answer, but for many its not because they
care about their personal beliefs, its because they historically
and currently try to impose them on others (in fact their
religion encourages this if not requires it depending on which
of them you talk to).
This means that from time to time you can no longer ignore them
and you must confront them to try to stop what they are doing.
When you do so, they often feel their rights are being infringed
upon and fail to see that they were merely stopped in trying
to infringe on the rights of others.
Think back to the time in history when they had much more
success in their governmental required impositions and tortoruous
conversions <shudder>. They've also taken over other religious
celebrations and adopted them to their needs in an attempt to
squash the other belief (cf. Christmas, Easter, etc.). They
were impressively successful with this tactic as the masses
today are largely unaware of this and do think of these
holidays as the "reason for the season"...
As a species we've come a long way up the
tolerance stream, but still have further to go...
As always any opinions I may have written above are mine and mine alone.
Dave.

I'd be happy to ignore them if they would leave us alone - but nooo -
they constantly insist on trying to co-opt my country, my government,
my school, my children, my doorstep, my telephone, my sisters, my
brothers, my peace, my home, the achievements of other freethinkers
and have a disturbing tendency to lie, not to mention a major case of
hypocrisy and an agenda that spells disaster for the world and the
future of my children.
I don't need their lies to themselves and their fantastic and self
conflicting sociologically predictable stories to be happy and at
peace and really don't understand their need for violence and the
infliction of pointless laws causing the misery of others to ensure
that their fairy tales are not questioned.
Is that good enough for you?
I care about my world and my children's world. Did you really think
the religous of the world are well behaved? Do you get out much?
Read the papers? Answer the door?
By the way - you posted to Alt.Atheist and disrupted us, not the other
way around. Did you really expect your lame attempts at impressing us
with religous hype would work?

Thank you for your sincere reply. Actually, I've never visited Alt.Athiesm.
Nothing against it, but I rarely post outside entertainment newsgroups, and
almost never outside my iterest area. Apparently someone over there thought
it might be amusing to crossposted alt.showbiz.gossip where the numerous off
topic posts about the Alabama judges kept appearing. I'm sure there are
athiests over here, but most of us find religious and political discussions
tedious and distracting from the topic at hand . Not that we're above
poliical or religious backstabbing, but for most of us, the hedonistic
decadence and self indulgent, self distruction of celebrities is our
interest. But in a regretible moment of hubris I made my original terse
reply. It was for entertainment purposes onl, and my turgid subsequent
off-topic replies were probably inspired by my recent reading of On The
Beach, Neville Shute's enjoyable1950's novel about the aftermath of a of a
nuclear war, which was made into a very entertaining movie, staring Gregory
Peck, Ava Gardner, Anthony Perkins with a wonderful support performance by
Fred Astaire as a guilt plagued atomic scientist who seeing the world dying
from radiation, ironically takes up sports car racing. Great performances
all around, exciting car race and a very eerie and sad submarine trip
following a lonely radio signal, to a starkly lifeless San Francisco. Filmed
in beautiful b&w, it's an Aurthur Haley-like story of Austrailians and
Americans struggling to make sense of the impeding end of life on earth,
including s a beautifully melancoly rendition of the usually light-hearted
Austrailian folk song "Waltzing Matilda," as the love theme of the movie.
Perhaps not high art, but On th Beach is one of my favorite romantic 1950's
films.
Anyway, I apologize for the original reply. But, unwanted outsider
replies, are inevitable when people pointlessly crosspost to disinterested
newsgroups.
Well anyway, have a nice day.
Ambrose

Carol, I was nice, but you keep being unpleasant, but I'm sure you have your
reasons, so I'm sorry if I've contributed to your discomfort. Yes, my
spelling is quite poor, and may well be the result, of a now largely
abandonded method for teaching reading, called "look-say," which was
inspired at least in part, by educational theorist and social engineer John
Dewey, who ironically in the context of this conversation, was an atheist.
Anyway, thanks for reading and once again I apologize. for upsetting you.

In your own mind perhaps, but you come across as a pompous fool butting in

I have no discomfort, and if speaking the truth equates with being
unpleasant, I suggest you get over it.
Yes, my
spelling is quite poor, and may well be the result, of a now largely
abandonded method for teaching reading, called "look-say," which was
inspired at least in part, by educational theorist and social engineer John
Well, I am a terrible speller in French, and it has nothing to do with
John Dewey.
Should I credit Dewey with my spelling ability in English, which is pretty
decent? Should I credit him with my ability to use www.m-w.com ?
Should I credit him with my knowledge of how to use a spellcheker?
Dewey, who ironically in the context of this conversation, was an atheist.
He's got it. I think he's got it!!
Anyway, thanks for reading and once again I apologize. for upsetting you.
Have a nice day.
Now perhaps we should work on your punctuation and on writing complete
sentences.
Is it also Dewey's fault that you have a problem with regard to those
aspects of communication?

Thank you for your sincere reply. Actually, I've never visited Alt.Athiesm.
There is no such usenet group as Alt.Athiesm
Oddly enough, there is:
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=alt.athiesm&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en
I don't know what purpose it serves.
Perhaps a snare for the unable to spell.

No there is not. Alt.Athiesm is not the same as Alt.Atheism
Note the misspelling.

I did note the mis-spelling.
Please note that _both_ the correctly and incorrectly-spelled
newsgroups exist, and check your facts before patronising.

I was unaware of, ignorant of said alt.athiesm.
I have never seen alt.athiesm included in any message I have read or
answered.
Previously when I tried to add it to a message, the PINE system didn't let
me and a search said it didn't exist.
However, I just checked via googlegroups and learned that you are
absolutely correct. It exists.
I do appreciate your helping me broaden my horizons.
If you don't mind rendering further assistance, perhaps you could add that
group to a reply so I could see if I can respond in that venue.
Thanks so much.
