I’ve been getting back into binging on TED talks.
I found this one from Richard Dawkins, which is kind of interesting but more or less what you would expect from the most extreme [Mountain Dew voice] atheist spokesman on Earth. I’m not a particular big fan of him, as he’s just as devout about claiming there is no God as any Christian would be about there being a God. I say, let people believe what they want, and if they act on it, judge their actions, not their beliefs.
Anyway, I bring this to you because I really like this little snippet from his talk. It’s pretty timely, as we are about to elect yet another Chief to lead this country.

High office in the greatest country in the world is barred from the people best qualified to take it, unless they are prepared to lie about their beliefs. To put it bluntly, political opportunities are heavily loaded against those who are simultaneously intelligent and honest.
~ Richard Dawkins
Why are agnostic/atheist seen as bad people in this country? And if not “bad” at least the Christian community [majority] thinks that they need changing of some sort.
This is a generalization on grouping “Christians” saying the majority. Christians should not be judging anyone thats not their job. I will not disagree with the Christian community thinking they need changing but I see it more as people that know God would like to share with others what they have, if change happens then it happens, but it is more about wanting others to have what you have verses wanting to change people. People that call themselves Christians have no right to judge anyone based on anything, I think that there are many that forget that it is wrong to judge others against yourself. Just my thoughts as someone who tries not to judge based on beliefs.
