There aren't too many people in the Eastern Time zone that share my beliefs. I spend every moment of everyday around people that believe stuff I find weird, and the feeling is no doubt mutual. Not once have I been inclined to beat my head against the wall trying to convince everyone that they are wrong and I am right. Yet you spend half your life proselytizing atheism on message boards. You are the Atheist version of that really annoying neighbor who won't shut up about his Church. You might as well be going door to door with a name tag, and a free book about Atheism.
The day that something like astrology is elevated to prominence in our country and astrology readings are being pushed in school, astrology readings are engraved in stone and hung on government buildings, football teams consult astrology before and after games, astrology is used as the basis for legislation and people who believe in astrology and on street corners and going door-to-door, you'll understand where I'm coming from.

Actually I wouldn't give a crap.
I work with a handful of gals that are into that sorta stuff, and witchcraft, and whatever else. Doesn't bother me at all. So long as they don't turn me into a frog, we're all good.

Besides, the Atheists are the only ones behaving like the Astrologists in your dumb hypothetical.
They are pushing it in schools, using it as the basis for legislation, they won't shut up about it on message boards (which is no different than standing on street corners and going door to door), they want full control over what gets engraved in stone and hung in govt buildings, and they are even harassing HS football players.
Why in the Hell would I care what a FB team does before a game? If consulting astrology before and after games inspires OSU to an undefeated season, then go ahead and consult the GD astrology.

What "scientists"? Where? This doesn't sound to me like science, but just speculation based in inference.
Speculation can be good and lead to useful hypotheses that could be tested.... or not, usually not.

Not a handful. We're talking about 70% or more of society, like Christians are today.

Incorrect. "Atheist" shouldn't even be a word, just like there isn't a word for someone who doesn't believe in astrology or someone who doesn't believe in witchcraft.  Why would there be a term for people who want to keep imaginary space beings out of our schools and government?

I don't recall where i read it, but it was speculation on how IF a soul existed, what it COULDÂ be and how our spirit/soul COULD continue on after death.

By that logic bald shouldn't be a word b cause they don't have any hair. You hat a dumb argument.Â
Look, I am neither an Atheist not a mainstream Christian. I am just an impartial observer from the sidelines. We such it is quite evident that the Atheists are much more boorish and "in your face" than the Lamestram Christians, and it is not even close. They are also much more likely to use the govt as a weapon in order to attack those that they disagree with.

Yeah I get tired of that atheist with the bullhorn outside the Dbacks games not to mention the ones knocking on my door. So obnoxious. And then there's the ones wanting you to participate in atheist services at schools and put atheist slogans and commandments up on public buildings. It's awful.

It's awful. nah, atheists aren't positive, going door to door offering prayer and hope. They are running around like the 3 year old who didn't get presents at the sibling's birthday party and don't want the sibling to have any either. "you can't do that!" "You can't enjoy that"
And as far as commandments.....what would you want put up? "Anything goes.....there is no absolute truth"?

All these debates do is conclusively prove that we will never be able to function as a diverse multicultural society. Once the Supreme Court yielded to atheist Leftists and literally re-invented the words of the Bill of Rights to justify their actions, it set the stage for our demise. It moved us to post-Christian America which then took us to post-America America.

"Multicultural"meaning Christian's who want to force their religion into others' lives vs those who want a religion-neutral public sector.

"religion-neutrality" is a non existent thing.
