This is why I've come to consider atheism a religion. They now have an agenda, trying to convert people to their way of thinking, just like any other religion.Murfreesboro wrote: I recall, last year, I saw a billboard on TV or the 'net that some atheist group had paid for. They were taunting Christians with an image of the Wise Men, saying something like, "You know it's a myth."

Re: Uptight Neighbors?
Actualy, atheism is not a religion, it's an anti religion, which is basicaly the same thing, only instead of bring you to God, it brings you away from him. The main purpose of any religion is to promote belief in a certain diety or dieties. The main premise of atheism is to promote disbelief in any diety what so ever.

Re: Uptight Neighbors?
That's true, Mike, but I also get what NeverMore is saying. That billboard last year did amount to proselytizing. With all the political correctness about references to religion in the public forum, it is coming to the point where it seems, to me at least, that atheism is the state religion. Especially when you consider some of the provisions of the new health bill, compelling religious organizations to provide funding for things directly opposed to their religious beliefs. It's tantamount to saying they aren't allowed to hold those beliefs.

Goog point, Murf. I don't want to get into a discussion about that as religion can be a hot topic, but that is exactly what's going on with Obamacare. I'm glad I don't work in health care, personaly.
