Not at all. I'm taking an "agree to disagree" stance for the sake of rampant intolerance. I don't want someone else force feeding me or my children religion, but on the same note, I don't feel it's necessary to force my views on other people.

You are the one insulting Christians. I never said anyone was stupid for what they believe. Hitting people with all the science in the world is not going to change what they feel is right for them. Religion is not something you can rationalize, and to use wording such as, "childish idiotic religious fantasies" is not going to open a practical discussion.
You make my point for me, I don't think there is another subject that creates the same feelings of hostility as the subject of religion. Your post is very hostile. Why do you feel the need to call people who believe in God insane? It's not my job or yours to change or challenge religious people, and you will never make an effective argument if you insult people. Religion is too deep rooted, and people hold firm to their beliefs.

For many, religion is an important part of their lives and has been for generations. People who believe in God outnumber people that don't by too wide a margin. Who are we to insist that what they have believed their entire lives is wrong? People are entitled to their own opinions, and to draw their own conclusions. Why does it bother you if someone believes something differnt? Why do you feel the need to take something that someone else feels so strongly about and ridicule them for it?
