i was talking to a co-worker at the office about 3 months ago, and we got to discussing faith. i told him im a Christian, he said he was an atheist. now, normally i would have said something, because as we all know, atheists are all going to hell. but, i like my job, so i kept the truth to my self. he however, didnt have the good grace to do the same. i got an earfull to say the least. so i just kept my mouth shut, even though i wanted to scream. later i brought it up with my boss. long story short, the atheist has now been fired (in a related note, his wife and kids left him, and he has since become a alcoholic vagrant). but this incident got me thinking... why do atheists hate us so much? iv been attending church all my life, and iv never heard of a Christian pushing their faith on others, or putting down others because of their faith. in my experience, Christians are the most accepting of differences in others. why cant they treat us with the same respect?
