in response to osok308:

I suppose the Crusades, Inquisition, Islam, etc. never happened?? Hogwash? Not really. If the Christians could they would have everyone "believing" as they do. That's what the are commanded to do, go spread the "word". You are correct about it "never happened here", but the Constitution, which does limit government meddling in religion, is under constant attack and has not prevented religion to seep a little into places it should not be. "In God We Trust" on money, prayers at the start of congress and during other government meetings, etc.,and let's not forget forget the "Blue Laws" such as no alcohol sales on Sunday. These things to me would be like you seeing "There is no god" on money, chanting and sacrificing virgins at the start of congress or other government meetings and bringing back the stocks to put "Christians" in when caught practicing their black art (does that sound a little familiar to you? So much for doing nothing deleterious. As believers always do, you try to prove your point by things taking from your bible, which I don't believe in so quoting versus doesn't prove a thing. Besides you believe the bible says one thing and another believer will interpret it differently. If all of you, who so devoutly believe, can't come together, why should a I or any non-beliver ever think of taking your beliefs serious? The only thing I take serious about any religion is the fact that they have and still can pose a threat to any and all round them.

You used the Bible on me (albeit by your paraphrase). What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. I am not obligated to appease you by abandoning my truth foundation. And you didn't answer the question...Why does your skin crawl when you encounter supernatural/spiritual things?

Oh, and as an unbeliever, you are quoting things from your own self-idolizing mind, which I do not believe in. So it is a futile pursuit for you, who are god in your own mind to try to shove your self-god on me.

Your material is stale. Atheists of your ilk just spit and spew the same old attack lines. It's boring and tiresome.

And by the way, you think too highly of yourself: I wasn't trying to proselytize you, and I was not looking for your approval. I merely contend that atheists like you are paranoid, hateful, mean-spirited people who have been given an inch and now want to take a mile. You would, if you could, inflict and impose your godless and vile views on everyone. Just what you falsely accuse Christians of.
