Well you're certainly doing more than your part to bombard it with anti-atheist hatred. trotsky Apr 2012 #113
Nothing in the OP or beyond is anti-atheist hatred Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #122
You have ignored all the other facts given to you. trotsky Apr 2012 #127

Here is your response: trotsky Apr 2012 #64
How manhy times have I lamented the dark side of what religionhas done. Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #76

Come on! Saying that atheist were not involved in civil rights because they were intimidated, Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #105
Problem is that nobody actually said that except you. eqfan592 Apr 2012 #107
It certainly would be, if I had said that. Mariana Apr 2012 #115
Why do they believe it is the "right thing"? Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #102
