theyre shoving their religion down your throat and not giving you room to say anything of your own

No, Atheism is the state religion of Communism. It's an idealogy thing that makes sense.

my bad
the actual quote says our people instead of our enemies

but the philosophy of the quote is what the christians are doing
they think that if we start getting ideas then we will rebel against what they're doing
so they think for us and dont allow us to say our opinions

also
yes i think banning religion is wrong too

I simply tell them I don't care about their religion as long as it doesn't affect my daily life in a negative way.

As for the preachers, I say "How do you know it's the right way into heaven? Have you been there lately? Didn't think so :l".

It stems back to Marx, who believed that religion is used to oppress the poor and keep them in check. Why do you think so many people hated the Communists? It wasn't just for the political beliefs! I mean one of the most powerful countries on earth in it's day (USSR) was entirely godless! If you were a Christian wouldn't that scare the s**t out of you? I mean they had a ton of nukes! haha more than we did.

The only ones that go out handing panphlets to others where I live are the mormons. Both dressed the same with a white dress shirt and black pants and shaved heads. The second time I saw them outside of a grocery store I made devil horns with my index fingers as I passed them. Not much but they saw and that's good enough for me. The christians dont really need to do that because I live in the cathedral area which is centered around a church that towers over all other buildings in the area.

I usually don't get much Christians preaching to me so once in a while I get the ones that go door to door. It's usually always Jehovah's Witnesses that come to bug me and they scare me enough.

Yet the Mormons are trying to bug me now because I decided I wanted a copy of the Book of Mormon to highlight parts of thanks to The Skeptic's Annotated Bible site, and the King James Bible just because it sounds more creative than my Tyndale 70's copy. At least they call so I can hang up instead of visiting me. lol

They better not be making another of those "The Great Awakening!"

I wish us nonreligious people can "ENLIGHTEN" people but that be hypocritical of us. At my school, they have like posters about God and Christianity throughout. There's this girl I know with a sticker that says "One way!" (with a cross and a hand pointing up)

UGH!

haha i really would like to go through a great awakening
ive never been through one of those, and i wouldnt mind getting in some fights with christians.
i find it amusing
