And im sorry my remarks have offended you. The one in the thread about motors was just a joke, Im sorry you dont share my sense of humor. I just find it humorous that most of the population has been scared into believing something, and if they dont believe then bad things will happen to them. What kind of a god would be so mean?

What exactly am I scared of? Fear is certainly not what motivates my faith.
As for the argument it was one you started, not me. I only interceded with my perspective. I can't force anyone to believe anything based on faith. This is the nature of faith, going beyond what you can simply experience physically.
I talk with atheists and agnostics quite often (one of my brothers is agnostic), mutual respect is what allows us to have good conversations. We don't have to even respect each others beliefs, we just have to respect each other. I don't tell them I think they're going to hell and they don't tell me I believe in fairy tails. It's quite simple. I actually find discussions with those of beliefs that differ from mine quite interesting. But again, mutual respect must be shown.
I have friends from all different cultures, backgrounds, and faiths as well of those that have no faith. It's interesting what can be talked about when respect is first and foremost and we put the insults and stereotypes aside.
