Ok here is a simple but effective test/story for you people who believe that Atheists are a bunch of pains in the asses trying to force our "belief" on you guys.
Here is a situation you need to imagine and really think about:-
A new "religion" is created in the same vein as Scientology but its belief is that we were all created out of the eyeballs of a giant space walrus.
Of course you believing in the one true god (allah, jehova, god/jesus etc.) know this to not only be wrong, but ridiculous, but after all it is their right to believe what they want so of course you shouldn’t judge them or ridicule them.
Someone comes up to you in the street and talks to you about this great religion we will call Walismus with Walicus the Walrus as their deity. He won’t stop pressing you, although you are not interested. He asks you why you don't believe in Walicus, you decide to answer......What do you say?
They now start to approach you every day, several times a day and people start to talk about Walismus on the TV and Radio all the time. When you meet people they great you with “May Walicus bless you with many glorious days of blubber”
Now one day, when you are so sick and tired of hearing about Walicus, a man with a beard on only the right half of his face (so say the teachings of Walicus), approaches you and asks you the same question of why do you not believe. You are extremely agitated with all this forced feeding of Walismus so you decide to tell him what you REALLY think……What do you say now?
You now go about your daily business, but are hearing about Walicus on a constant basis and it is has now become main stream with over 3/4 of all people believing in it. But of course you know that there is only one true God, and that this is a cooky religion that has no basis in fact, no proof and no proper reason to believe except for wishful thinking (as Walicus grants the believers an eternity of free cable t.v. and strippers).
But it is their right to believe what they want, no matter how stupid it sounds to you, so why should you be bothered?
Soon there are so many believers that many politicians are believers and are coming more and more into power.
They have voted that Walsmus should be taught to your children in schools and they have voted that having sex with a woman under the age of 28 and having LESS than 6 children when being married for more than 10 years should be illegal. And have now made it so Tuesday is the day of rest and that Sunday is not only a work day, but you should work twice as hard (so say it Walicus), and the fact that YOUR God has said you must rest on Sunday matters not as this is a democratic society.
What do you say now? Do you stay silent? Do you allow your life to be dictated by people who believe in a space Walrus? Do you allow your children to be exposed constantly to its teachings?
