I am a Christian, a Roman Catholic in fact, and can see where this list has merit. Nobody likes to be told they are screwed up and going to hell. Growing up in 1960s-70s Mississippi, The fundamentalists in my town regularly told me I was hell bound for such offenses as making underarm fart sounds in Sunday school. After a while I started believing it and pretty much quit trying to get into Heaven. The following years were spent raising as much hell as humanly possible. Later on , I developed my own concept of God.

Lt Col Scott Shuttleworth - not correct as to only going against evangelicals. I don't particularly care for Christians "witnessing" to me or trying to convert me/bring me back to the "faith", but they have a right to do so. And as long as Christians can try to convert other faiths to their religion, atheists will have the same right to try and deconvert the faithful. I also point out that the Quran, the Sutras, or the Vedas are just as bad as the Bible, but there are not a lot of non-Christians in my part of the Bible Belt.
Second, the "full frontal attack" on evangelicals is nowhere near the level of the attacks that have been made on atheists in the past, nor the present. Atheists may be legally executed in 14 countries just for being atheist. There is no country in the world where a Christian may be similarly executed just for being Christian. You may want to look up Casimir Liszinksi before you talk about how badly Christians are being attacked.

Capt Gregory Prickett - yes, my intricate existence. Beyond that I’m not going to continue with the nonsense. You can come from a fish, monkey or spontaneous gas for all I care, I prefer a Loving Creator that gave me life. It had to start somewhere. The fish, monkey or whatever anyone wants to say we came from, from any logic, had to be created. Even the Big Bang theory can not deny the creation of something.

PO1 H Gene Lawrence - nor does the Big Bang theory support the creation hypothesis.
