Why are atheists so mistrusted (despised?) by those who believe?
139 Answers
I've often heard it said (mostly by Americans on TV) that they'd rather vote for someone who was religious, regardless of their religion, than they would an atheist.
So two questions:
Question A: Christians, who would you prefer to have as a neighbour - a muslim or an atheist?
Question B: Muslims, who would you prefer to have as a neighbour - a christian or an atheist?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.birdie; I don't want to increase your wrath, but earlier on I put in this link and as you have not commented on it I am re-submitting it in case you have missed it, I know it is an Islamic publication and will be biased, but so are the other sources. As a special favour to me (maybe you owe me one?) would you please read it in full trying to be impartial and say if you can answer all the questions that it poses. http:// www.cre scent-o ...sh-3 412-art icles.h tml
Khandro... “...would you please read it in full trying to be impartial and say if you can answer all the questions that it poses...”
No I will not. I have read your linked article in full and I can counter all the arguments contained within it but it would take me many, many hours if not days and months. One could write a book about this matter – the political, religious and social implications of the murder of the innocents.
But we're on AB. I'm not prepared to start wasting my precious time spending hours and hours answering specious questions for you or anyone else to shrug their shoulders and dismiss me or simply ignore my posts.
However, I will agree to address individual points in the article if you so wish. I don't care which particular points you chose but please be aware that we have only 4000 words on AB with which to answer them.
Read the article again and break it down in to manageable chunks for me and others to have a crack at answering.
Thanks.

How she came to prominence is irrelevant. The facts as we currently understand them are that a Taleban fundamentalist attempted to assassinate her, and that deserves condemnation without reservation or fudge.
All that you 2 seem to want to do is to offer a grudging condemnation, hedged about with mitigating factors. There are no mitigating factors.

Keyplus - “... Birdie and impartial…………….. What are you talking about Khandro...”
I'm actually quite surprised that you understand what the word 'impartial' means. And for your information, I am impartial in that I weigh up the evidence on both sides of an argument before committing myself to one side or another.
Unlike you who just blindly follows your religion's teachings and customs without ever engaging you brain.

Khandro - “... it seems to me clear that had this child not been so highlighted she would not have been attacked...”
Or put another way – if this little upstart hadn't had the temerity to want a decent education and had simply kept her silly, disrespectful little mouth shut she might have reached adulthood without being attacked by oppressive, religious bigots.
Is that what you're saying?
