OR,
Imprisoning an innocent man who's thought to be a danger to society?
Play Ball!!!

Then don't. Don
name of God. Atheists however usually dont care what anyone else thinks and have little or no desire to push their views onto someone else, so im going to go with fanatics.
Its all George Bush's fault.
The entire religous spectrum from athiest to fanatic's of all types is controlled by the tri-lateral commission and the UN.
Its all George Bush's fault.
Damn, you gonna be in Hairys bed tonight. Don
I try not to get annoyed by either. If I get annoyed, whose fault is it? Is it their fault for believing in something I don't, or mine for somehow finding other's beliefs (or lack of belief) annoying?
Yes, I know atheism and Communism are not even close to synonymous, but atheism is one of the tenets of Communism, and I don't think its appropriate to cavalierly dismiss atheism as totally "harmless".
But as to which one I'd rather have knocking on my door Sunday morning, an atheist, a Jehovah's Witness, or some fanatical super-Christian, I think I'd pick the atheist.
any fanatic is dangerous. my 2 cents [8D]
agreed
Therefor since American's keep buying crap made by aetheists or communists I'd say fanatics are the worse in the American eye.
You haven't visited the right threads here, then.
However, in short, let's look at this:
Hardcore Catholics: Spanish Inquisition - surprisingly few were actually handed over to civil authorities for punishment (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08026a.htm)
Hardcore Protestants: Salem witch trials. A handfull of people killed from what I understand.
Hardcore Athiests: Nazi Deathcamps.
I think the scorecard speaks for itself.
- So what is the definition of a 'religious freak'? I'm starting to think you all believe this term applies to anyone who holds that their beliefs are the true ones.
Further, I don't understand WHY people have this attitude towards those wandering JWs, Mormons, Baptists, etc. I invite them in every time they come. There is nothing I like more than debate. As a Catholic, I want to0 share my Faith with anyone who shows an interest in things eternal. Afterall, if you think about it, it's really the only topic (Is there a life after this? If so, how should we act now? etc... ) worth talking about for any great length.
I was just reading on Drudge about another case of Christian terrorism here in America. It seems a group of Christians were "praying" outside a Florida porno shop, trying to prevent it from opening. Well, it opened anyways, and I guess one Christian didn't want to just leave it at that, so somebody attached some type of deadly chemical delivery device to the shop's air conditioner, contaminating the store and costing $30,000 in damage and cleanup costs. Local Florida authorities described it as a "weapon of mass destruction." Domestic terrorism, courtesy of a Bible Thumper.
Mormans like guns so I am more partial to them. I have some good friends who are Mormans and they never push their religious values on me. At the church they sing the song of No Smoking, No Drinking, No Drugs, Etc. But around me they are asking for Cigars, Cigs, and Beer. They are so funny!!
can anyone be truly athiest?
Granted there are many people that don't believe in one God (such as the Judeo-Christian God) but they must believe in SOMETHING beyond a doubt.
A lot of agnostics or whatever believe that scientific proof will show the truth, so they believe in science.
Communists believe in the communist utopia or whatever they call it, which (to me) involves as much blind faith as believing the 6000 year-old Earth idea.
So is there such a thing as a true athiest?
isn't that the general definition of fanatic?
Fanatics of any stripe are the most dangerous people and institutional fanaticism such as the Spanish Inquisition or the Social Democrats of the Third Reich is even more dangerous.
What heaven?
Only Christians? That is not the way the Moslems are telling it and somebody has to be wrong.

I think you have finally hit upon the one point where we can all agree. Somebody is wrong.
Some other religions such as Islam is another story and one must be a
Islam believer or else. !!! Other "door to door" religious people trying to convert (enighten us) are easily sent on their way without
any problems and without any bad words. Probably we have several Atheists on board here and no problems. What one belives is what one belives in unless it gets to "more than just talk" and extermination of
another religion for "religions sake".
if someone claims to be athiest...I turn fanatic....[:D]

Scott, that post is redeeming for you
seriously... unless you are joking :-|
Communists=Atheists, Arabs=Muslims, Americans=Christians
But, not always.
Mormons acosted me on the street. JW's came to my house uninvited. No atheist has gone out of the way to bother me.
So my vote goes against fanatics.
The atheists have nothing to gain by bugging you. They certainly don't have a church building fund to worry about.[:D][:D]

Some of us have better things to do.[:p]
at least religious fanantics go the heaven(the christan ones), the athiest i just pity, they are screwed.[:(]
You been to heaven yet? If so prove it...
In my opinion, if a person doesn't believe at all in a deity, why should it bother them?
I'm not pagan but I wouldn't demand that the owner of a building remove the gargoyles or Sol (sun) off of it. I truly don't care that a seafood restaurant has a picture or statue of Zeus in the dining area. I'm not going to ask FTD to take Mercury off of its logo or Columbia Pictures to remove the torch-carrying goddess from their logo either.
