Oddly enough it does appear most of those doing the killing these days subscribe to one form of deity worship or another...

I am not aware of anyone openly claiming that atheists are shooting abortion doctors, or the dreaded non-believers are lopping off heads and stealing schoolgirls en masse as hostages or child brides...

Christianity lately seems to be about this:



While Islam has this going for it:



But we non-believers are the bigots...it's an amazing turn of words when you consider it.

To any potential jurors, this comment was made in the Atheist safe haven, where atheists often express their distaste and dislike for any religion. It doesn't make anyone a bigot it just makes them non-believers.
Religion is slavery for me as a non-believer, a form of a slavery of the mind, if someone is offended by words that run counter to their religious views the Atheist Forum Safe Haven isn't for them and they should probably not be alerting on such things.

Thank you for your consideration.
