As a so-called "white atheist",I only seem to be able to get on with Sikhs, Hindus and other "white atheists".

haha I asked the same question but about fundalmental christians.  For someone trying to figure out my own sprituality I find both sides rather annoying and superfical.  I think the reason both Atheists and Fundalmentals are on here so much is because their point of view is very simple to give a easy answer.  Beleive and don't question for the fundalmentals and don't beleive at all for the Atheists.  To answer many of the deep questions posted on here a lot of thought has to go into those answers.  Even with lots of thought, a good answer is hard to communicate.  Whole books have been written to answer some of these questions.  So it only appears to be narrow minded people in the population but in fact its just easier for them to give their narrow minded answers because to them everything is black and white

Asians, Blacks, Latins, Indians, Pakistanians, and every other  race I run across, including whites are discriminated against daily in some form or another.

I have a pretty bad knee jerk reaction to those sorts of things and it's hard for me to keep from answering their questions. I think the best thing to do is just not answer them at all. These guys (or gals) really do get a kick out of that kind of stuff and are amused at all the stupid white people (or what ever kind of people) that don't think their bigoted opinion is the truth. It seems to just reinforce their beliefs. know what I'm gonna try and ignore them, but I know I won't always be able to help myself. \nThat said, I know I've probably said some pretty sarcastic or inflammatory remarks in some of my answers but to attack a person for their beliefs is not the same as attacking someone for something that they can't change (like skin color or a physical or mental disability) PEOPLE CAN ALWAYS CHANGE THEIR BELIEFS. Let's just hope more of the bigots and racists of the world change theirs.

Some of the most racist individuals I have ever encountered are the ones who are constantly claiming Whites to be racist.

Dude, you're back!!!  I have the same problem, but he is much more forceful about it.  I just argued as an atheist and basically told him his views were bullsh*t.  He got so pissed off that he took the rest of the day off and was granted a transfer to another shift.  The rest of us had a party!  Other than that, bring in your own boom-box and jam it louder.

I have noticed this on occasion. Unfortunately it seems most people get in this state when asked their religious affiliation.

The only way I can really tell the difference is because Atheist seem to always start problems, I've been in fights with hundreds of them. \n\nReligious people seem to be able to find a middle ground and go from there. \nAtheist are too dumb to do that, I can't stand them and don't for long. \nTheir the assholes of the world.

Hitler was not an atheist, but your point is a fair one.  You cannot accurately judge an individual by his association with a particular race, religion, or other group.  Neither can you say that each member of the group is typical of its membership.

Yes.  I've done tabling with an atheist group.  I have bumper stickers on my car.  If someone asks about my religion, I tell them I'm an atheist.  I tell people about Richard Dawkins' book, "The God Delusion".  I answer religious questions here.

I'm British so maybe shouldn't get involved with your countrys politics, but as a believer, no I don't think atheists should be persecuted, or anyone for their beliefs. Most of my friends and family are not Christians and we respect each other's beliefs.

Seems to me that you also believe something blindly and narrowly... that you are right. Isn't that the real problem? That most people have deeply felt beliefs and believe they are right, and have a hard time tolerating others with different views? Your opinion and decisions about religions, our origins, and so on are valid, but so are mine. You speak of religious people being narrow minded, and refer to people like yourself as broad-minded. But, isn't it narrow minded to label any one group of people? You are saying that you don't like having a religious person's views imposed on you. But, in the same breath, you impose your beliefs on us, and label "anyone believing" as unfulfilled, and unintelligent. How exactly does that make sense? Since the group you are speaking of (religious people) is a group I belong to, perhaps I should enlighten you by letting you know that I'm not imposing my beliefs on anyone. I'm am quite ready to talk to those who would listen or have questions, and I am quite ready to listen to others. Do I believe blindly and narrowly? Well, if I didn't believe 100% in my God, that would make me a hypocrite who is wasting my time. If that says to you that I am either blind or narrow, then so be it. But you might consider that our time on earth may be better spent discussing issues without judgment - oh, but wait, Jesus told us not to judge, so I guess that won't work, huh?

i don't believe in religion to begin with. i would never join or convert to please someone else. i have to be true to myself and my native roots.

I didn't beat any Indians either.. It's not my job to make converts. I take His word, it's the Holy Spirit who makes converts....   Jim
