Troutman, Cowperson et al do not invade every single religious thread to push their beliefs.
Well you havent paid attention to earlier threads then. You simply dont like me and prefer to attack my posts. Go for it if it makes you a better person.
I accept that the beliefs of a Christian are as valid as the beliefs of an athiest. Both are as valid as my own beliefs. My comments throughout this thread have been specific to your argument that religion is the root of all evil. This entire debate goes beyond one religion.
If you dont mind copying and pasting where Ive suggested its the "root of all evil". You once again simply read into what I say. Personally I dont buy into religion at all. I find it personally and morally repulsive to teach children lies. You can bury your head in the sand all you want and sit on your fence all day. The debate stays firmly entrenched on religion and what it stands for....lies.
And I respect your conviction in your beliefs. And FWIW, I have very little respect for Mormon and Jehovahs Witnesses who interupt me at home to press their beliefs as well. The people with the biggest problems in this regard are those who go against the philosophy of "Live and Let Live." As I have said, you are a zealot, and zealotry is often not met with understanding and respect.
You dont respect my beliefs whatsoever. If you get off on calling me a zealot so be it...that means my posts are getting through to you...and perhaps others as well. My pulpit for the most part is right here, I dont get my own TV Channel, Chruch, synagogue, temple etc etc to say what I want. If you dont want to hear what I have to say put me on ignore...it wouldnt bother me in the least considering you have nothing to offer. Color me ZEALOT!! 
To the best of my knowledge, Troutman hasnt point blanked called my beliefs a lie.
What are your beliefs? LOL If its letting religion be, then I dont think you have read much of what troutman has written in this post or others. troutman is much further entrenched in Humanist ideals than I...but we share exactly the same thoughts on religion. Once again you single my posts out because Im the visible entity in your mind. That is ok with me, it is what I fully intend to do.
Anda question: why did you feel the need to add others into this discussion? Why were you unable to leave the discussion at scientology alone?
LOL..well why pick one and leave others out when they are all the same? What difference does it make to you? You have suggested you dont follow what they offer anyways. Is your father a Pastor or a Priest? Do you feel the need to protect them? Cant they protect themselves? Do you have answers they dont have?
And an equally bogus statement is to tell me you are better because you do not follow a God. Also, I have never suggested I was better than you.
What a moronic statement. You once again see red when I post and read into something that you want to see or hear. Go back to bed and get some shuteye. I simply said that man is inherantly good...that man does not need religion to be good or to be positive role models. It was YOU that suggested otherwise. That makes YOU intolerant of my secular beliefs. Every post you make attacking my position suggests you believe you are better than I, when its painfully obvious you dont even have a position to back up..
So? Millions of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Agnostics, and et ceteras do wonderful things for man as well, and donates millions if not billionds of dollars to great causes. The only thing you argue here is that atheists can be as civic-minded as theists can.
Really? Is that what I said? Are you sure..I mean really really sure thats what I said...or is it something else talking in your head?
You teach your children your beliefs, nothing more. As I have stated a dozen times in this thread, you hold no monopoly on the truth.
