It isn't 100% blatant but it does exist. And no, I'm not paranoid.

Paranoid? Maybe...maybe not, I'm not qualified to make that call. I
would, however, suggest that you may be somewhat over sensitive. What I see...and correct me if I'm wrong...are atheists, myself included, speaking out after years and years of suppresion. Until somewhat recently, one did not so much as
dare to speak out against the Church.
Again...I
could be wrong (it's happened once before
), but I dont see Christians being "attacked". I don't see Christians being hauled off and beaten. I don't see churches being burned. Nor do I see public demonstrations condemning Christianity. You are being
questioned...not attacked.
As a
whole Christians do not...
affect me?
Phase me. Whatever. I have some very good friends, both on these boards
and in real life that are devoutly Christian. That's great. I don't know if they are better people because of it, or in
spite of it, but I respect them all the same. You included, Jorgelito. But, don't accuse us atheists of attacking your belief just because we don't believe in it and are becoming more vocal about it.
