do you think those who fight and scream the hardest against religion make the?

sure do.  They are people who think things over and they are not gonna say I DO until they really do.  Not as high a percentage of sheep in them you might say.

You bet ya I do. That is the battle we are faced with daily. Ephesians says it best.\n\n Eph 6:11  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. \nEph 6:12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. \nEph 6:13  Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. \nEph 6:14  Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; \nEph 6:15  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; \nEph 6:16  Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. \nEph 6:17  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: \n\nThere is only one offensive weapon, the sword, which is the Word of God. But always have your shield of faith, which is Jesus Christ.

What makes a person fanatical is insecurity. They are scared to death because deep down they know their religion makes as much sense as worshipping monkey turds. So do they gather their courage and proclaim the preacher wears no clothes? No, they scream louder to drown out the doubts and recruit others to reinforce the decision they've made. \n\nIt's funny the pain some people will go through to avoid discomfort.

I'm pretty sure the capacity for starting fights is equally shared among all belief systems.  Certainly Yahoo Answers creates a forum for moronic, facile attacks on the belief systems of others, whether one is atheist, Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Jewish, Wiccan, Baha'i, Yezidi, Hindu, Jain, you name it.  Maybe what you mean is that your attention is drawn to atheist expressions of hostility to the beliefs of others.  Your own question does smach of anti-Catholic prejudice, for example, so perhaps anti-Catholic statements made by others don't offend you.  In all fairness, it is hard to explain the contemporary situation in the world of mutual hostility between, say, Jews, Christians, and Muslims by blaming the atheists, right?  I mean, the atheists didn't start the Iraq war and aren't playing a major role in perpetuating the Israeli-Palestinian crisis.  I think you are right to advocate for a more civil dialogue (you can begin by examining your anti-Catholic and anti-Atheist prejudices, perhaps)--considered starting with the man or woman in the mirror?

I don't think so, but they have to be hard with the fanatics, to stop fights and damage to property.

Definitely, the Cults! Those Pagans and Branch Davidians are tough!

This is very true. The problem is people using religion to justify their actions. It is very easy to say that I did what I did because God wanted that way; include a few bible verses that are compatible with your actions, and you are good to go. How can anybody that believes in God try to argue?\n\nBy the way, you see this all over the bible. God said attack and kill all. God said keep the virgins. God said to kill a bunch of kids. Some of the most terrible things in history were based on religious grounds. \n\nWe do not want to go back to those days, because then everyone will have a reason to go against everyone.

This question is actually laughable. Have you not read other questions and answers? Seems to me there is always someone willing to attack a religion or a group. Don't feel like Christians are the only ones. Personally I think Islam gets attacked the worst in Answers but that's my opion.

I think that not only do they have a high ego, but can actually be dangerous to society.  I believe in God, but I disbelieve in organized religion.  I believe that our hearts are the temples we worship God in.  Basically, any small group of people who get together to make decisions for a large group of people make me uneasy.  If you back one of those fundamentalists into a corner and ask the hard questions like "Why did my Mom die of cancer?" or "Why did my little boy get hit by a car?"....you're going to get "It's God's will"  or  "the Lord works in mysterious ways".  The truth is, they don't know.  But they DO know that God wants you to vote Republican, and He's against raising taxes but He's for the defense, and even though it's one of His creations, He desperately hates marijuana.   Personally, they just make me nervous.

they don't.  countries fight over power, over money, and over resources.  those who direct the fighting, who actually cause the wars, don't care about religion.  religion is just a convenient excuse for them to stir up hate and bigotry, which NO religion condones.

Have you ever heard the expression, "practice what you preach"  They have never learned that.\nMost religion is a puppet of the country that it lives in and rulers like to cause war because they are greedy.\nThey find something wrong with some country, sees them as a threat.  That gets people stirrred up.  Then the leaders say let's takem.  They are going to fight, their familys don't go to fight.  But, when the battle is over and they have what they want.  Their happy and tell the people you saved the world, so their happy.  In other words people are real stupid and let religion be used by the government as a tool for war.  If they would study history.

I agree with him....religion is the cause of many a war!  (in God's name-ironic huh?)

People who are only religious tend to be that way.\n\nIt is not so with true Christians. The only problem is that there are so many religious people out there giving the true Christains and Jesus himself a bad name.\n\nIt was the same way in Jesus' time. Jesus constantly rebuked the religious people of His day. They fought all of the time. But Jesus himself was not like them at all. \nEven still, people are still flawed, but Jesus is not. HIs love is perfect and unfailing. He loves you like crazy, no matter what anyone else says or does.\nGod bless.

Religious fanaticism.

I think that the kind of people who are awfully rude and cruel to others are the same kind of people that believe that they are superior, and that their religion (whatever it is) makes them superior.\n\nAvoid them at all costs!

No. Every lunatic that ever fought believed he / she was doing god's will, makes it easier because they don't have to take responsibility. Sad isn't it?\nSo some of you are saying that Bush and Islam DON'T believe they have god on their side?
