I find it curious that words, and usually not even violent words qualify Atheists as "militant," but it takes a bullet in the chest of a doctor to apply the label to a Christian.
It has come to my attention that xtians are just trying to turn the tide. They are blindly throwing at us, the terms we use against them.
Think about how they call science "dogma" or say we worship Darwin or Dawkins. Accusing atheists of using circular reasoning. THEY are the militant ones. They just want to try and shift the blame.

Does it concern you as a none-believer that someone could hold such spite for such a benevolent creature as this lady?
Does it concern YOU that The Westboro Baptist Church hates American soldiers? Pickets and protests, wishing death upon them? Spews hate against homosexuals? Just look at the site name for crying out loud.
I think this to be a tad more "militant" than some snarky Youtube comments.
Care to comment?

Re: Benevolence
what is acceptable to one person may not be acceptable to others and neither sincere belief nor personal acceptance make something objectively true.
I still don't get this one, why certain groups of people feel the need to tell everyone else how to believe. Atheists just as well think the mindset of creationists and militant religious zealots are wrong. The difference is, we don't press our beliefs on people who think differently. We encourage people to think differently. We try to enlighten you and give you our opinion on why we think your worldview stinks. But for the most part, sites like this, and discussions like this, are started by the religious in an effort to push a certain way onto others. Atheists, for the most part, are just fine and dandy with you getting dressed up Sunday morning for church. I know I don't care. Just don't tell me I'm blatantly wrong for my worldviews.
atheists aren't evil baby-eating Satanic monsters, like his pastor told him.
Wait a minute......they're not?
