This is about a thread on the Politics board discussing the tensions between Muslims and Jews over who can pray at the Temple Mount.
And in the course of discussion, I ran into this...
Eventually, I put the poster on Block, because he said he wasn't going to listen to anything I said.
What is it with theists that cannot comprehend that we have the same right to pester them about atheism as they do to pester us about religion?
Other atheists/agnostics, any thoughts?

I don't care. And stop trying to impose your belief system on someone else.
You can believe whatever you want, just leave everyone else alone. How do you not understand that?
I think I am going to start posting things to make you become an atheist.
Just remember, to an atheist, there is no god.

I do not. I am an agnostic atheist, as I have repeatedly stated on this board and the RFS Board.
Part of why I do not believe is because of the continued fighting among those of differing beliefs. It has been going on since religion began. No respect for human life of the "other". Christian against Jew, Muslim against everybody, Hindu against Buddhist. Religion results in a lot of death. It does not bring peace on Earth, goodwill to men.
What good does it do? Continue a comforting delusion that when we die, we don't actually die. But we kill each other over the conflicting rules.
In this country, you still have the freedom to practice the religion of your choice. You do NOT have the freedom to impose your belief system on anyone else.

"Marx was wrong. Religion is not the opiate of the people. Opium suggests something soporific, numbing, dulling. Too often religion has been an aphrodisiac for horror, a Benzedrine for bestiality. At its best it has lifted spirits and raised spires. At its worst it has turned entire civilizations into cemeteries."
