Sorry to burst your bubble, but Islam actually came after Christianity, although Judaism definitely came before. (Jesus was a Jew, after all.) Mohammed acknowledged Jesus as the prophet before him.

I like to use less popular books on the bus in DC, as there are a lot of Christians. I use the Qur’an sometimes, but I sit in in my lap and if people start staring, I use post-its to write big notes about different sections, the more controversial, the better. Most of the same people ride that bus everyday, so it keeps them away once they’ve seen me hold it a few times.

you are quite correct it is a bad piechart, it should be a bar or line chart

being a lesbian may be wrong, but being put down because of it is wrong also. I personally am a christian and we have several lesbians in our church. if they attacked you or insulted you, then they were actually sinning according to the bible.
And how did this graph turn into a discussion about religion?

While once a week might be good for you, religious Jews pray 3 times a day and Muslims pray 5 times a day. Deal with it. Both religions are older than Christianity. Didn’t your pastor teach you to respect your elders?

Oh, this graph is too funny. Pie chart or not, you get the drift. I am an old Christian, and I know that, if I pull out my Bible and read it in a public place, there are going to be lots of people who will tiptoe around me.

Yes, we have been told to go out and share the good news by Jesus himself, and that’s what we are to do. Unfortunately, being Christian doesn’t mean we’re perfect–just that we have a perfect example to follow in Christ. So, yeah, there are a lot of scary Christians out there. There is a lot of in-your-face obnoxious behavior by Christians, who try to brow beat people into hearing what they have to say. Even though we share a Savior, I might avoid them on a bus, or tell them to “walk the walk instead of just talking the talk.” True Christians, if we follow Christ’s example, are loving and compassionate, but we humans take a long while to get it right. God’s not done working on you yet, and he’s not done with me, either!

I don’t know why Christians would stop speaking to you just because you’re a gay atheist. We don’t agree with you that’s sure. Maybe they just didn’t know what to say.

I so agree. Not everybody will avoid you if you have a bible and it’s not like us christians will start preaching or trying to force you to change your religion. Besides, it takes alot of courage to be a christian because so many people put us down. I think we should get more credit for even having the courage to take our bibles with us on the bus than this.
Sorry if I sound like a jesus freak, but this is something I feel strongly about. Remember, we on’t have to sit around and whatch them put us down, we can stand up for ourselves.
And even if it is true, it is definatley not funny, just plain rude.

Good point. The ones on TV, strangely enough, that come to my mind, are the mega-church preachers who tell you if you give them a large sum of money, you will be saved. Words cannot express my disgust.

You know, of course, ignoring the fact that I’ve had many Christians cease speaking to me when they found out I was an athiest and/or gay. And I say this as a Republican. Yay, log cabins!

This should not be a pie chart. The title suggests a list of items as you yourself just stated, there is nothing about numbers or percentages.

You could put on a suit (if you’re male) and put a name tag on which says Brother (insert name). Guaranteed to keep people away. Or you could drive a car. Simplez.

People mumble because they’re deep in prayer/mantra. It helps to focus the mind on being in the moment – like meditation. It stops distracting thoughts.
