What the hell is an atheist going to say? He believes in nothing. - blue
They most likely believe in science and facts?

Thanks for the ringing endorsement, Blue. I "believe" in real stuff.
No magic. Keep yer hocus pocus.

I don't know what to say.
If fags came door-to-door, you guys would say, "That's cool, you're hip!", but heaven forbid a Mormon or Christian come ask for your love in prayer!
Quote me on that!

You're a doofus Bluering. Beyond help. You pick fights and don't listen to differing opinions.
I pity you.

Xtians sounds like an alien race. LOL!
I feel like one, at times!
"Beloved, as aliens and strangers in this world...!" 1 Peter 2:11
"They are not of the world even as I am not of the world." JC
"You are in the world, but not of the world!"
World = world system!
edit: Dave G - i don't doubt that I'm sure they have (i'v heard ones talk about doing it), i was just saying it is not a customary practice like it is with JW's or Mormons (part of what they are expected/instructed to do). Christians mainly focus on places out in the public. ie, beaches, parks, etc., but hardly even do that anymore!
Regardless, I know how you must feel when someone comes to your door, because I feel the same way when JW's or Mormons come (or other Christians, for that matter).
It IS annoying, to say the least!

What the hell is an atheist going to say?
 What if I told you it was possible to be free from all guilt associated with an imaginary friend?
[quote}He believes in nothing.
Not true. How about believing in things we can see, touch, taste, hear… How about "not the imaginary friend" scenario that the religious try to sell?
I don't understand how you can poise that question? Duh?
it seems to me that that is what you understand the most…Duh. (BTW - 'poise' has to do with posture. I think you meant 'pose'? Right?
Christians try to preach the word of God.
wow… You really are a christian right bluball? That would explain the lack of education and the amount of guesswork you post on the daily. Also, christians fail in the attempts to 'preach the word of god' when they don't follow what they preach. They don't stone people who have had affairs, they don't stone unruly children, they don't burn witches among many other things that their god had prescribed for them to do in order to make it into heaven. This equals fail in my book
WTF is an atheist going to preach?
Stupid question, bra.
how about thinking for yourself? asking questions that others may not want to give the answers to because it might mean admitting the whole show is made up and means little to nothing in the overall scheme of things.
Post post edit:

the fags have reason and self respect along with accountability…. they'd never do what you christians do

This is yer problem. You think you have all knowledge. I realize I do not. And I've seen lots of sh#t in many different countries. This is the best deal going.
And you appear to me to be full of sh#t. I mean that kindly. But you are full of sh#t.

I agree with Dave G, et al!
I think it is bad form to go to ones home/private residence to preach, evangelize & whatever else (not sure what JW's & Mormons call it). It's an evasion of privacy, imo! Out in public you can approach people or hand them something if you want, but their home is their castle and should be respected as so!

Actually blah, I don't know sh#t. What's more is I know I don't know sh#t. Give me any christian who is willing to admit that to themselves and I'll show you one that might be trusted with a penny. Until then, christians fail in that they tend to say they know the mind of god (the imaginary friend many of them seem to have)
As if you would know the difference

Right on splitter.
Being agnostic I am very open minded and like to converse on the subject. My experience is that religious folks want to tell me what is right and wrong, and are not willing to operate on a two way street. It's always their way or the highway!
Blue- you are a classic example of this!!!!

I always thought a person's personal beliefs were a strictly personal affair, and once they became about the other guy, we were hurled out of the personal and into a tug of war. The metaphor for this is two bald guys arguing over a comb.

Yeah, you probably don't care! But you do get worked up easily. You should get outside and stay of ST as it would be good for your blood pressure.
And no I don't need to choose! When I am dead the choice has already been made. It will either be the after life, or worm dirt!

I love it when Mormons come to my door. I see the young men coming up my driveway in their unmistakable "uniforms"...
When my front opens in response to their knock, they come face to face with a rough old man, a fiercely psycho look on his face and an even more psycho attitude - AND A REALLY BIG HANDGUN IN HIS HAND, HANGING DOWN AT HIS SIDE, BUT CLEARLY VISIBLE.
I peer at them over the top of my glasses with a crazy Jack Nicholson look on my face... and they scurry away.
I have such a good laugh after they leave!

For example, I've always wondered why folk get so bent about gay people being gay and doing what they do - and lest we straight peeps stop them, they will cheapen marriage, corrupt the unwitting and draw the weak directly into buggery and bushwhacking.
They call that 'fighting the gay,' and some Clergy and Congressman seem to swing for the fences on that one.
