Have a nice day.

I suppose we all have our own definition of what's reasonable.

I have found (for some reason) on this forum that the atheists can be as bad as the religious people in dealing with people who's beliefs differ from theirs. Not saying that all the members are like this, or that any particular member is.

There are people on both sides like that. Take, for instance, the recent ads. The Atheist add said there *probably* isn't a God, so we should all enjoy our lives. A nice message that leaves open the possibility that they are wrong. One church's response? To say that God does exist (which I would expect) and everyone who believes otherwise is a fool, thus insulting anyone who believes different from them.

I personally don't believe God exists, but am willing to be proved wrong. I also respect people's right to believe otherwise.
