Do I think athiests would try to convert Christians? No. I think they would try to kill them, as they have in the past (The Pharisees who pretended to honor God, Rome etc.). Then again, if I am going to bring the Bible into this and follow its model, athiests would ONLY try to kill Christians if they evangelized... But seeing as that's a major belief of Christianity, yes, I could definately see mass murder taking place.

I don't know very many, if any, atheists that would actually try to kill Christians, even though some of you make it very tempting. And even if a few would, there are assholes in any group you know.
Nah, we don't want to kill you. We just want you to develop some rational thought. And, if that's beyond you, we just want you to shut up and leave us alone.
But seeing as that's a major belief of Christianity
If christians do something we can't? I know quite a few atheists who like a good bottle of wine, don't christians use wine in import(ant) celebrations? What about singing, christians sing in church, atheists just sing. Can't we do that either?
Back to the murder nonsense, why would we kill if we evangelized? Convert or die doesn't work (I know a story about a muslim guy from centuries ago who got baptised 3 times and released but went back to being a muslim, laughing at Charleslemagne). If we managed to convert, why would we kill? In short, how did you ever rationalise this?
If another Christian threatened me to convert or die, only then would I kill them. Only in self-defense.
Nonviolent evangelism would be met with other tactics. Biblical contradiction, sarcasm, etc.
Nonviolent evangelism...that's kind of an interesting concept, considering that evangelism means "bringing the good news,"...
"Good news! You can keep us from killing you if you accept Jaysus!"
Holy cripes, how wrong can you get?
You've just shown us that you know nothing about atheists, the Pharisees, history, or Christianity.
Well done, you're completely ignorant of everything you talk about!
I read about all the mass killing and torture done by the atheists back in ... uh...wait a minute. No, come to think of it, it was the Christians I read about murdering hundreds of thousands for centuries! , in the name of Jesus. And from some of the quotes here on fstdt, I believe they'd love to get that ball rolling again.
Which brings up somewhat of a question of mine; if I was presented with convert or die/be tortured and all I had to do to get out of it was to pretend to love Jesus I would do it in a heartbeat. This makes me think that all the torture was done just for the sheer fun of it, and all the people rounded up for it were going to get it no matter what.
Yet there's Europe becoming more Atheist by the decade and nothing of the sort happening.
But Christian infighting and Christian intolerance of other religion burns strong even there, good thing the secular laws are in place to protect all people.
And Atheist wouldn't convert you, we'd want to de-convert or deprogram your indoctrination, many of you walk away from it yourselves after years of hypocracy.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
