Reply #30: In my experience it is the religionists..... [View All]

...who barely believe their religions. Atheists serve as a nagging reminder of this failing. Particularly the adherents of the Abrahamics. And many have developed their cognitive dissonance skills to the point where they can walk around holding onto their religion's conflicting/opposing ideas with no headache, no frontal lobotomy and no apparent acknowledgment of anything even being amiss.

Christians exhibit the worst behaviors of this lot I think, largely because they're required by biblical commandment to (and I quote} "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you." And such. But it is clear that the majority of them are just giving lip-service to their religious beliefs for appearance's sake. And not only don't they believe in their own religion all that much, but they FEAR being accused of not acting like they do sufficiently because of what might happen to them if others (e.g. - fellow co-religionists) found out they're slacking-off.

Still, they refuse to do what their god has commanded of them. Haven't seen any eye-gouged-out nor hands-chopped-off Christians lately have you? And the hate they direct toward atheists (as evidenced by some of the comments from the RELIGIOUS in the linked article) is proof of this failure to adhere to their religion's tenets. I guess there's no loving an enemy when s/he is an atheist, right? But how do they ever expect to graduate to the heavenly choir hating atheists?

With their very existence and not having to do one damned single thing -- non-believers force religionists to face their own doubts and disbelief. And they hate them for it.

- So you ask: What do religious believers want from atheists? What they want is for non-believers to believe like they do, or GTFO. Literally....
