By your selective enforcement of who gets to say what. Believers of any
stripe can say whatever they please, no matter how ridiculous, but let
anyone call them on it and your hand down "can your hate filled screed".
Face it, no matter what, if a non-believer says anything, you label it as hate.

Yep, that means you DON'T have the right to force your beliefs on me. You
don't have the right to force religious beliefs into laws that everyone
must follow.

I have...how many times, now? Does any religionist hear ever hear it? The
moderate religions, the ones who do respect others and don't feel that they
have to have a full scorecard to get into heaven, don't push at all. The
dominionists do. And 'no thank you' isn't in any way within their scope of
comprehension.

-> 
-> Can you become an Adult sir?

SIR????? BWaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahah Well, yes, that fits
you. This echo should always be an all boys club. Us women just don't have
the brain ... or the balls ... to join in.

Can I ask you to please answer my questions? When was the last time an
atheist came to your door to share the 'good news' and refused to leave
when you said 'no thanks'? Or left a flyer offering free food if you needed
it but only if you sat through a lecture first? Or put up a billboard
stating "An Educated Person Knows the Origin of Species". 

And I can guarantee that around here, no thanks just doesn't work. I've had
to start keeping gates and doors locked from having pushy spreaders of the
'good word' walk into my house without even bothering to knock when the
front door is open but the screen door closed. (I also have a doorbell, but
it seems they're allergic to them)
