    It depends why they believe. Irrational faith is harmful, even if innocent.

    I don't consider having a conversation to be harassment, but for the most part, evangelizing isn't my problem with religion. I expect people who believe certain things to care that other people don't believe those things, when the consequences to non-belief are the worst one can imagine. I just happen to think they are wrong. I'm just as evangelical about my atheism as religious people are about their religion (maybe a little less, I'm not going door-to-door, or standing on a street corner shouting, or going to foreign countries to convince them I'm right).

    i don't consider having a conversation to be harassment either so i guess we agree on that. extremists start out by being angry at people who believe in something different. i don't go door to door or grab everyone i see and tell them my beliefs are right. i only try to act honestly according to my beliefs.

    I honestly don't care what people believe, but beliefs have consequences in this life. Those consequences that are the reason I get angry about certain beliefs being proliferated. For instance, that women are lesser beings because they came from Adam and are responsible for original sin. Such a belief would be merely curious but for the fact that it's used to justify sexism.

    the bible doesn't state that eve is responsible for original sin, it tells us what her actions were, and the concept of original sin is not stated in the bible either, its merely interpreted that way by certain people. i believe in just the teachings of jesus, not paul, or the old testament.

    Considering the topic, did Jesus teach that He died on the cross?

    The greatest faith is passive. Both non-resistance in the bible, and ascension into paradise from earth in the Quran are passive acts. Ultimately the outcome is the same, Jesus went to Heaven. ​

    Maybe some Muslims think it unbelievable that a religious text would say he did die on a cross.
    Are you actually unaware that religions contradict each other.

    As one com

    As one comedian put it about warring religions "Like tantrum school kids chanting 'My invisible god is better than your invisible god'"

    Dr_Toad was not harassing anyone that I could tell. He merely stated an opinion that "Gods are a product of fears and stupidity".

    I don't think there is anything about the reported life of the man Jesus that can be asserted with any kind of certainty.
