And stop calling me an Atheist. Seriously.

Non-Christian does NOT equal Atheist.

Just because someone doesn't believe in the Christian God, doesn't automatically make them an Atheist.

Actively disliking the Christian Church does NOT make one an Atheist.

I am a pagan. Many of you know that. But every time I start talking about how I don't believe in the bible, I get called an Atheist. I got no problems with Atheists, they're great, and they don't try to push their beliefs on me. they ALSO respect that I have a religion, and that I DO believe in Gods.

People who are close minded typically are uneducated about belief systems as a whole.

If you're not Christian, you're *obviously* an atheist. In their minds, you're going to hell if you don't believe. In their minds, your higher powers don't exist. There is none but their God. Everything else is untrue, false, impossible.

Duh, Annie. Lol

You just can't reason with close minded people, Annie.

I said there was only one christian person that I've exchanged opinion with and I respected her. But my respect just gone with the wind for that person. I'm not talking about the one who said is done with your other post. But somebody who just peaked in that post. She just proved me she was also close minded. Le sigh.

haha, I'm a Christian (whatever some people may believe of our church LOL) and get offended on CM when people presume I am just because I believe in God. I'm like NO, maybe I'm not! I'm just not easy to please :P.
