I understand atheism, since I was one for many years. Then, I read the bible. I found that I was against religion, and the hypocrites that claimed to know God. I had thrown out the baby with the bath water.
Each person has their own personal path. I fought hard to find truth, and when faith came to me, I was overwhelmed by the beauty of it.
I now have faith strong enough to die for God, and that will never change. I do not need physical evidence, I know God in my heart.
CENSORED (by popular demand).

You're fellow atheist I am a disscussing/debating is not being defensive because he/she is confident in their worldview you on the other hand are not. That is you're not able to make an argument with an attack/insult.
Its simple YOU DESERVE TO BE INSULTED.
Thats the best argument you have?

Because what others believe could be VIOLENCE towards you for no reason. Sort of like Muslims cutting your head off for being Christian.

I've participated in a similar thread by Devout Agnostic, and a lot of the same things were said, including Atheism as a religion, NWO type atheists wanting to reeducate people, Albert Pike stuff, etc.
Are you satisfied I'm not out to get you?
Are you out to get me?
Because if we're "cool" I'd rather just peacefully coexist, and stuff.
This is kinda cheesy, but I recently bought The Waltons season 4 for $5 at a pawnshop. I loved that show as a kid, and still love it. Just a tv show, but it pretty well described how one of my Grandpa's grew up.
I understand how Christians are dismayed by the coarsening and vulgarization of contemporary society, and I use profanity a lot, but I bow my head at grace when I have dinner with Christians.
I don't hate you, or think I know everything. I don't like being harassed, but that doesn't often happen except with stupid laws.
Are we cool?

Sure I never dislike any1 until they start hurling personal attacks rather discuss the topic at hand.
You said "I don't like being harassed, but that doesn't often happen except with stupid laws."
I feel exactly as you do.

We are in no way threatened by your false religion, but it goes against my nature to sit idly by and watch you guys brow beat good folks to hell!!
.
if that's the case, then why to you foul-mouthed, hate filled atheists spend so much time and energy trying to ridicule something they don't believe in?

What produces such hate filled reactions? If they don't believe it, why don't they ignore it? Why do they bother to react?
Because most beliefs are wrong, historically and factually.
If your beliefs are wrong historically and factually then there is no reason to tolerate them.
These new age beliefs rarely translate into the world they just translate into "me me me". That might not be personally wrong but again I don't need to tolerate people like this when I interact with them because I can adopt people's beliefs in a second and hold them to their own beliefs. If you can't hold yourself to your own beliefs, why the hell would you push them on other people except to be a preaching douche. People need to keep their cults to themselves.

If you never experienced love would you argue that it is an imaginary feeling? I believe you would. But, for those who have it, it is real.
This is the same with faith. You will never know what it feels like until you have it. Then, it will become very real for you. People who never experience faith, will never understand what it is about.
I don't doubt that the faith is real ... I doubt that the deity's real
