If you mean freedom to brainwash people with outdated 2000 year old doctrines, lobby governments to impose religious views on secular society, and stifle scientific progress, then yes.

What the hell are you talking about? The person in question was handing out a book. Proselytising does not equal lobbying for a theocracy.

Just my opinion

Full agreement there, buddy.

Oh look, another tyrant. You make me want to vomit.

Go ahead and be an atheist. Nobody cares, and nobody is trying to force religion on you. Just keep your grubby hands off other people's liberty. Is that too much to ask?

As most, if not all, anti-theists are hypocrites...yeah, you are asking too much of 'em.

You're right. He whines about how religious people impose their beliefs on others, and meanwhile he'd like to impose his atheism on all of us.

Well, the Bible could be a legitimate threat to the Cult of Dear Leader. Because people may begin to see him as the complete douchebag he is.

[Hiero of Syracuse]

Not cool Sokka...
But I think religion should be more of a personal thing, though to ban the source of one's religion is a pretty low blow...

You can believe in whatever the hell you want. Just don't about it when the law and society cultural views differ from your beliefs.

To quote Ghandi, "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."

[boofhead]

Just don't about it when the law and society cultural views differ from your beliefs.

Indeed, that Bible woman should take those bullets with complete understanding of the righteousness of Dear Leader and the judgement of his divine courts. Indeed, it is an honour for her to give her life in the service of making Dear Leader more secure.

thats EXACTLY WTF YOU'RE DOING.

And here is was, thinking that ol' Kim was a loon. But then he goes and makes my day by killing one of those book burning (except the "good" book), women hating, science impeding, ignorance spreading, choir boy raping Christians. Bang up job, Kim!


Now if only we could convince the rest of the world to do the same to all other religious people, the human race could finally cast of its several thousand year old shackles of willful religious ignorance and make some real progress.

If your wondering why you don't have any friends, maybe you should read over the statement you just posted.
Your talking about ignorance, yet your being ignorant yourself.
Hypocrisy much?
Also talking about murdering people for their beliefs is just wrong.

Why don't you eat a gun and do us all a favor.

Absurd
You're just as bad as religious extremists.

On the other hand, any time I am confronted with people who mill about trying to convert I simply say
"Sorry I'm Catholic, but thanks anyway" and always take their pamphlet or whatever and go on my way.
It doesn't bother me at all if people try and convert me. Whether it's Jehovah's witnesses at the door or some of my hardcore athiest friends I treat them all the same.

With RESPECT
