You're the one that implied atheists have evolve fish stickers out of hate, not me.

Some people are all too easily 'offended' by other people's views. It isn't just the fish, the Flying Spaghetti Monster emblem is subject to the same attacks. I'm sure that a sticker that said "Americans for Evolution Education" would be seen as provocative by some.If they didn't want to offend other people they would have used a symbol that is distinctly different from the symbol that Christians commonly used.
legion of evolution hating greensborian's to prove that christianity is the loving, kinder faith
It's wrong to assume that someone with an Evolve Fish is an atheist. I do know some Christians (teachers) who sport them on their cars to demonstrate their belief in evolution and to show support for science education. But they also show other Christian stickers.RebelSnake wrote:You did just fine Liv. The only change I would make would be "evolution, atheist hating christians". Call it like it is.

...Anti-evolution/pro-creationism stickers are offensive to us who believe in evolution--and especially to those of us who believe that church and state must be kept strictly apart.

Good christians must insist that everybody has the right to have their voice heard; and until those kinds of christians stand up and denounce those in their midst who would committ crimes against people with different views, then their religion is going to be attacked more and more as an evil religion.
And it is going to become a more frequent thing that violent christians are compared to violent muslims because their behavior is identical
And Islam is a religion of Peace but true Muslims must defend the Q'ran with violence if neccessary. Sounds familiar?BecauseHeLives wrote:A Christian is not a phsically violent person but a Christian should be violent pretective of the Word of God.

Oh, my God! Are you now advocating violence against anybody who doesn't agree with your wierd version of the "Word of God"???????
BecauseHeLives wrote:I think you know what I meant but I'll explain it to you anyways.
I don't advocate violence at all when it comes to somebody that doesn't agree with you. I do however advocate that a person should be "violently", or could be said as "aggresively", protective of the Word of God. you should not waver on God's Word or try to bend it so you won't offend others. Did you pick up the phone yet?
