[QUOTE="Justinian, post: 77875, member: 923"] LOL. I was just talking the other day with a coworker about a friend of mine that refused to believe about Christianity coming from Judaism. Different story for different day. But, all religions have bloodied histories. Even Buddhism. It comes with the territory of anything, not just religion, that if you are the big dog at the top of the pile, sooner or later someone is going to try and knock you off. When Vlad Tepest (AKA real life Dracula) got his infamy, it was from protecting Christianity from the invading Ottoman Turks. Sulemein (Ottoman ruler) got his fame from conquering other Muslim and pagan nations in the region. The Greeks and Romans waged wars over their difference in gods with their own people. As to my knowledge, I don't believe that there is one religion out there that can claim that they've never fought a war to further their religion. There was even the one Egyptian Pharoah that had lots of internal unrest and uprisings that he had to squash because he decided that there was only one god. Later I believe they converted back to polytheism to quell the masses. I have a little theory that Atheism today is sprung from pagans of old. This being that once pagans were forced to stop worshiping their old gods, some of them must have thought that either the gods abandoned them or that there just must not be gods at all. It's a stretch, but it could be possible. This "war" we are having now between Atheists and Christians is about pushing bounds.

Yes, not because of any moral or religious ideas, but because that's the exact words that were put into the saying. There will always be differences of opinions and with them, you will always have people that have to push back. They just can't accept a difference and move on from it. They have to use whatever means they have available to push boundaries, to make people look. As Atheists worldwide struggle for recognition, it makes me wonder. Why? Why do push and act as hypocrits?
