(805 posts)Not Catholic, but similar. One thing I always understood was that athiests and agnostics didn't really like the religious preaching to them or trying to make them "believe" unsolicited. I understand why that's annoying and so therefore I don't do it. I keep my religious beliefs pretty private unless someone is interested in talking about it - which is rare. That's ok.
However, some of you non believers are beginning to act like the believers who feel the need to "save" everybody else. You go around and tell everybody how stupid they are for believing, having faith in something. Many of you start this nonsense on here to push your non beliefs on everybody else. I don't recall the religious on DU lecturing you guys all the time. If it's happened, I apologize, but I haven't seen it.
I thought liberals were supposed to be tolerant of others. People who don't shove their religious beliefs down your throat do not deserve this treatment. You believe what you want, others will believe what they want. If you're not religious, don't start threads about what you feel is imaginary or participate in threads talking about religion where your views don't need to be shoved down the throats of people who are very modest about their beliefs.
It's this very action that I would not expect from athiests, really.
