*SNORT!* I am neither an atheist nor a Christian. What always gets me is that evangelical Christians especially, fail to understand that I am just devoted to my religion as they are to theirs, and that religion is not something to be traded in like an old car battery. Frankly, I think that that actually speaks very lowly of Christianity, that it is somehow a "replacement" religion--don't you?

It doesn't matter what I say--evangelicals have already made up their minds about me before a conversation begins. Besides, I would rather spend time living my religion than trying to "defend" it to those who refuse to understand that my religion means just as much to me; who are too ignorant to understand it as anything but "false." Logic, you say? I find Christianity to be the most superstititious of all the religions; most often logic and religion have little or nothing to do with each other. Where is the logic in assuming that my religion is false, and that you have the only true one? As J.R.R. Tolkien (who was a Christian, by the way) writes in "Lord of the Rings," "One to rule them all" is the ultimate evil. You would have homogeny where I would have pluralism and diversity.
There is no point in "defending" my religion to one (or any) who cannot see beyond simple monotheism.
