However I like FF for the beauty, and the music. What can I say, I like art...

Well, I'm a big Final Fantasy fan. But I gotta say, books work the brain more, and games do really waste time...

Christians don't go to the doors first of all. Atheists in fact get A LOT of respect. They are very mainstream. They don't want religion, but their view deals with religion, and that is self-worship. They have to force their views and don't even realize that they are very mainstream. Media, whether it's television, music, or books, they have to push the envelopes to desensitize the Christian crowd of the audience, or the neutral. I guarantee that if you are feeling alone that it is probably the lack of God in your life. I'm not saying that as a crazed Christian either, but I wasn't always saved myself and felt the same way. If there is a radical Christian, take it to them that they need to stop. But as far as I'm concerned I am seeing more Slipknot bands mainstream than a DC Talk group saying how there is more to life than just what we have now!!! So don't give me this "we as atheists feel alone." You have no idea. You have a large majority on your side, more than you realize because a lot of the "96%" of Christians don't have an idea of why they think that there is a God or do not even know much of Gods word. We don't have bands singing "atheists are morons for not believing our God." Much like the heavy metal bands that exploit the number 666, and pentagrams, and mainstream pop/rap feeding society with sexuality and lustual things, along with shows that do the same. Anything angry or hateful from "my side" may come from a hypocrite or one without knowledge yet, I used to retort in mockery because I knew nothing when I was younger, but at the same time, people that were older and were nonbelievers used things like the internet and AIM for the efforts of ruining faith, and there are people that are known for that. I saw a report on Comcast that a company had 800 video replies on Youtube of people denouncing God. I was one that always thought "God existed" but never knew why, but now I know and understand more since then. Here are the true facts about society today. 4% actually know God exists, while 3% actually serve God. And the majority of "Christians" misunderstand the term Christianity. A lot of "Christians" think that it's just going to church, and more think it's just what they are called because they don't have a religion such as bhuddism or anything at all. Christians want respect as well. And neither side wants a radical view of any view. So as far as that goes we all need to work together by getting rid of the conflicts from the radicalism of any view. No one should look at you as a moron for not believing in God, but from my perspective I would just want my friends to follow God with me because nothing has been more joyous and fulfilling than that for myself and I want to share it! And it makes sense to me, because nothing stays with you on earth, everything will go. But I believe with God that we are given the option to me more than just dust from the ground. That Gods love is unfailing, and he offers more than what the world can give because everything in the world just ends anyway. I sit at a table at school where my "friends" found out I was a Christian and there is someone always saying how "God's an imagination" and "I hate God," and comes up with a way of mocking God. And tries disproving God trying to make me a nonbeliever. It will never happen though, so I take the challenges, and while I don't appreciate his comments that mock God, I am more than happy to share my views because I know where I stand. I know not all atheists are disrespectful, but if you find a rowdy bunch of atheists, or atheists that are hasty to say something against Christianity, and you know it, but you won't tell them you know it. Say that you are a Christian, and see what happens in a week. Maybe if you say to a Christian (a real Christian) that you are an atheist that they want you to be saved. But it is different from trying to insult. However not all are "real" and so both sides have their disrespecful people. But the point of why I mentioned this is because it is not just from "Christians." But it is from whomever is not respectful that has to be insulting. But it is fact that a real "Christian" is definitely a minority since the majority of Christians don't even know why they believe and are quick to shake off any teachings from a church for example, and rush into immorality. The 4% and 3% (maybe even less by now) stands true officially. And for the record I do not approve of what Bush had said. However I will go as far to say that I disrespect, the disrespectful. Anyway I hope differences are set aside. God bless. [hr=noshade] I belive in God, but I am glad I am not religious. I bet that statement puzzles some people.
