My religion does recruit, I don't want to sign anyone up or turn them around to my way of thinking. I have no wish to disuade Atheists from their beliefs, and yet I am continually amazed at the lengths some unbelievers go to try to disuade me from mine.

Your last paragraph is typical of atheists. Why the hell should I re-examine my faith because I'm asked to by someone who doesn't understand what faith is?

Anyway... this thread, as usually happens with any thread to do with religion, has been taken over and turned into a faith-bashing instrument instead of the "should religion be satirised" dsiscussion it started out to be.

Dont forget you are also an atheist in terms of the many thousands of gods that people believe in. You are just not an atheist when it comes to your own god.
