Nothing teaches people about religion more than two parents murdering themselves in front of their small child.

How many atheists have you ever heard of that killed someone for believing in god?</font>

I was pointing out that this e-mail is highly offensive towards atheists and not only that, it portrays a false idea that atheists are more violent than christians.</font>

*sigh* this is just making ah-.. ath-.. Non-beleivers look more violent than christians. It emph-... Makes the fact that they did drugs etc stand out along with the fact that they are non-beleivers. It's sickening and stupid at the same time. Christians are too strict and horribly ignorant. Funny how I used to think why not very many people like them >_>

I probably am being oversensitive about the atheism-jab, but i'd appreciate it, dogs, if you wouldn't presume to tell me what MY OWN intentions are, especially when you are obviously horribly incorrect.</font>

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">And 1%? I think not. Much, much higher. The Inquisition and the Crusaders may only have been a small number, Christian mobs more than make up for them.</font>

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Like you said, you can't judge the majority by what the minority may do, because if you did, the christians WOULD be judged as more violent</font>

That "story" is misleading, to say the least.

First off, children aren't exactly the best witnesses. Ask any cop. If you line up 10 people who look almost the same and ask a child to pick out a specific person they saw previously, their choice will be totally arbitrary (and often the first person they look at). Even adults do this.
