My questions is for the people in the last category, the hardcore atheist/evolutionist.
Why do you disregard the theist/evolutionists? Do you believe them to be less busy then atheist/evolutionists? I'd think they'ed have to be busier with all the hosannas they have to fit in between the rational thoughts.
Why do you take time out of your busy schedule to argue with creationists who you consider dumb, uneducated or just plain delusional?
Isn't thinking that we're smarter reason enough? I know I feel better about myself for having scoffed at the silly ideas of others.
If you categorize creationist beliefs out there with monsters and fairies why are you wasting your time here?
Why if they categorize evolutionist beliefs out there with with Oh yeah! That's right they keep categorizing evolutionist beliefs with religion. Why do creationists waste their time scoffing at religion? Aren't they busy?
Some of you seem pretty intelligent, surely you have better things to do. Or do you spend time on other website debating the existence of monsters, fairies, aliens, crop circles and any other ridiculous belief you come across?
Ever seen a t-shirt that say "MUFON: Teach the Controversy"? And they don't even have the First Amendment working against them. But yes, I've spotted more then a few EvC members at other sites.
I am interested in hearing why some atheists feel the need to convert others to their beliefs.
All people believe that their beliefs are the best ones, and that the world would run more smoothly if everybody believed the same thing. That is why people, any people, try to convert others. Atheist have a bit more incentive then just plain ol' bias of course. Religionists have a history of catching us on fire. I hope I don't have to tell you how annoying that can be. Anyhow, the more Atheists there are the less tempted Religionist are to act on their all-to-human instincts. The dirty little secret of all Atheists, however, is that we all pray that some day we'll be plentiful enough to set y'all on fire.
Hope that helps; but, if you have a question that assumes less, you may get a better answer.
