LOL I was just getting ready to ask the same question!

Only if they are as smug and condescending as you and Farrah. No, honestly, I don't go in to my anti-religion feelings with my Christian friends. I think most of them probably believe that am a Bible-believing Christian in the mold of Kirk Cameron rather than a "no fear of burning in hell" Ron Reagan. Considering some of the things they believe, one more fairytale won't hurt them.

 

I do have one serious question for you(and Farrah). How would you say that I should I express my very anti-religious views on a forum such as this without being characterized as condescending or being a mocker? In other words, if I say, "I don't believe that there is a man above the clouds watching or caring what I do because there has never been one single piece of evidence indicating that. Science, on the other hand, provides plenty of evidence how we came about and when we came about. Thus, I choose to believe science over what I deem as pure fiction."

 

I think that's a very fair statement about what I and most atheists/agnostics believe. Yet when I make a statement like that, don't you think you or others will say that I am mocking or being condescending? How can I say the very negative things that I believe to be true about MAN'S religion without being labeled a mocker?

You could take some lessons from @B-Ball-fan on how to express yourself and your beliefs without insulting those who do not share the same beliefs.
