Christians hate atheists for their freedom?

It makes sense if you think about it.  Christians have this all-powerful authoritarian figure telling them how to live out their lives.  Not only do you get punished horribly for stepping out of line, but this authoritarian is omni-present and will always catch you.  There is literally no freedom to do anything.  The most amazing thing is they don't realize this, or don't admit it.  This God does a better job than Big Brother could ever possibly dream.  But deep down in their hearts, they know they are being watched and controlled and it makes them angry to see those of us who are free.  Thus, they lash out at us.  Please do no fault them for it though, imagine how quickly you would become like that if you knew there was someone watching and condeming you every time you masturbate.

I think we should help our christian brethren escape this oppressive fascist called God.

>>182 If one looks at reality and covers for all variables, cross-checking and all that, then one can say "This is so until counter-evidence becomes heavier than the other scale". The problem with religion is that people depend on the notion of this super-natural entity, and when this notion is chafed they are as well, reducing their capacity for rational thinking and comporting their opinions and actions with reality. This goes for any irrational opinions of course (my stance on, say, healthcare could be proven to be uneconomical, unethical, non-utilitarian and not comporting with human nature and current factors, and then I would gladly change my position. Thus far, however, the facts and the logic doesn't chafe with I believe) but since god and 'his' various scriptures (including the Qu'ran et al.) permeates the world for these people, their irrationality goes deeper and wider.
