Suuuure you don't stir up trouble! ;) I'll believe that. (heh. heh. riiight.) Anyway, some Atheists DO come to Christian boards and start debates. Some Christians don't care if they do or not, but some get angry because they haven't learned how to deal with people who are different from them.

Some may TRY to convert you, but nobody can MAKE you believe anything. Any Christian (or anyone else) with brains should understand that whatever you believe, you make that decision yourself. No one can make your choices for you. So really, you can't ACCUSE Christians of FORCING thier belief in God on you because you're the one to make the decision of whether you believe it or not. Beliefs cannot be 'forced'. Or at least one cannot 'MAKE' someone else believe. You get what I'm saying? I'm saying that it is irrational to point the finger or call the kettle black in these sorts of cases.

Also: You seem to be saying that there is no purpose for God, why not? You must think that God & Science disagree. I've always loved Science and I don't think they have to contridict each other at all.
