I think the elevator isn't reaching the top floor for this guy...

I agree... but I do find that this kind of thing usually moves in this direction.

I think it's a great idea.

If they know where we are, maybe they will leave us the hell alone lol.

I really don't see what the benefit to such a registry would be. I don't need to know nor do I want to know the religious beliefs or lack thereof when it comes to my neighbors. I have mine. They have theirs. I'm perfectly happy with neither side having a word to say to each other about it.

My thoughts? He should make a national stupid people registry and put his name at the top of the list.

I do find it interesting that in his own words he put us in the same category as sex offenders.

If he wants to draw that conclusion, shouldn't he make a national Catholic Priest registry?

...so he wants to stamp us with The Mark Of The Beast, then?

isn't that Satan's job?

People like that guy are frightening. The sad thing is that there are many others out there like him.

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.

Rofl, I know, I'm tired of having non-beliefs shoved down my throat. Anyone who tries to force beliefs (or lack thereof) on other people, probably are insecure in what they're saying, and then go into fanaticism over it (just ask any ex-Jehovah's Witness, they place mental mechanisms so that when anyone disagrees with you, you "believe" even more. That is a sign that you don't actually believe it).

Now, if you're atheist and aren't running around trying to get people to believe in why they shouldn't believe in anything, then you might be legit.

And yeah, if the cross "offends" anyone, then they have some serious mental issues . I'm not offended by atheism or religion, I think it's all silly, and I couldn't imagine living the sort of vapid existence that would revolve around either of those entities. I'm here once to the best of my knowledge, I like to learn, I love to discover, if any new science comes out as to why a higher power or transfer of energy is possible or impossible, I read it. I wouldn't waste it on belief vs non-belief, hell, in all the time it takes for believers vs non to fight over something they'll never know about, they could have walked their dogs, finessed their cats, hugged their kids, or even fapped to internet porn. If there is NEW spiritual/non-spiritual discoveries, then yeah, those aren't a waste of time.

The fact that this guy is making a registry for atheists is kind of stupid, and waste of his time imo.

That Facebook thing is exactly why this Agnostic identifies more with atheists. I may hear atheists say they don't want god in public life but they don't threaten to actually commit violence against Christians (unless they're a pissed off 16 year old of course).

Once again, there are more religions to pick from than the extremes of atheism and Christian.

Buddhism is something I hear a lot of people drawn to. I don't know as much about it as I'd like to. But from what I hear, it tends to be a lot more about being happy than being judgmental and threatening.

Those are the 2 I am exposed to most often though. I've actually read up on Buddhism quite a bit. Though I don't follow the metaphysics of it, it has quite a good philosophy (that most of it's followers try to live by). As far as I'm concerned I follow a quote attributed to Abraham Lincoln

When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion.
