What a crock of shit that is.  I know many agnostics/atheists who have more
compassion and understanding of others in their pinky than most Christians have
in their entire deluted mindset.  Point in fact, two close friends, the wife a
devote born again Christian, the husband an atheist.  Both have moral character
well above many "religious" people I know. You statement above is part of the
problem where you think yours is the one true diety.  You can certainly pray
according to your choice but don't blame others who don't feel the need to.  

Let's see, and prove me if I am wrong.  There have been more people killed
throughout history due to "God" based wars on whose was the better diety.  Do
you actually think the differences with Islam just started 15 years ago? Look
at the issue is Ireland (two Christin based groups).  Look at the issues with
Tibet with China.  It will never end until all religions sit back and allow the
total freedom of religious choice. BTW, that's part of the First Amendment if
you recall.

One other thing... can you name a war that was started by atheists? (Hint:
can't use Hitler, he was a Christian as he wrote in Mein Kampf, "By defending
myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord." Can't use
Hirohito, he WAS the japanese god at the time. Can't use North Korea, they
practice Juche. Most of the conflicts in Africa are predicted on the agressive
"dictator du Jour" who considered themselves as a god.)  Over and over....
where does it all point to... 

So please, if you're going to preach, please get your facts straight.
