I don't fight Christianity as a whole, I fight against the religious thinking pervasive in this world in all religions. Its a outdated idea created by humans and still exists today because of the centuries of church doctrine and in many instances state control by church and state.
My problem always lies in the actions of Christians and any other religious group, when you tell me a gay/lesbian is a sinner and deserves no rights by the state, when you tell me that a soul enters a zygote and therefore stem cell research had to be held back..
Theres countless examples, but if you kept those beliefs out of the voting booth I'd have nothing to bitch about, but you and I both know thats an impossibility, especially in America.
The reason you hear so much more these days from non believers is because finally we have a safe place to talk without fear of all kinds of punishment and social shunning, the internet. Christians play the "why so mean to us" while your religious leaders say atrocious things about us, and politicians in the US proudly say hateful things about non believers because they like to play to your divine place on earth.
So can we seriously end this 'why so mean' to Christians nonsense, if you can't handle the logical debate of how your bronze age beliefs affect our modern day lives then there is always the bliss of being told weekly by some guy that everything is gonna be alright and god loves you unless you're gay, or non Christian, or a cheating spouse, or the 100000's of other things your god likes to punish and kill people for.
