Subject: RE: BS: Militant atheism has become a religion
It's not fair, really. We religious people have to work HARD for many years to form a good relationship with God. We have to engage in study, contemplation, self-examination ("the unexamined life is not worth living"), meditation, prayer, good works, self-discipline, the development of a degree of humility, recognition of the divine not only in oneself but in others too, acceptance of responsibility toward others as equals...it's a long and arduous course.

While all the atheist has to do to find God is...look in the mirror!


Ah, this demonisation of atheists by Christians is a dirty business. Unfortunately for "you religious people", it isn't only "you religious people" who take that long and arduous course. Not only that, a goodly number of "you religious people" don't take it in any case. Now get yourself off to confession: the "degree of humility" bit of the course didn't work in your case.
