Why Books are Better than Drugs

I see this kind of 'open mindedness' (is that a word) in a lot of people.

"I'm open minded, so you should be open minded, but if your opinions aren't like mine, you can't be open minded, you stupid bigot"...hmm...okay.

Or "I HATE CHRISTIANITY ALL CHRISTIANS SUCK AND THEY ARE ALL BIGOTS". I have basically had this said to me by someone, and it actually made me laugh out loud, because this is actually the biggest case of bigotry and hypocrisy I have ever seen.

This isn't directed at anybody, just referring to the topic. I've seen Christians (and I am one) close their eyes to the fact that they are being hypocritical, and I've seen atheists/agnostics completely turn themselves around and backwards to prove that something doesn't exist.

One question to all those atheist who are bent on 'converting' Christians. Why? It's not like there is a reward for that person if they DO 'convert' (I hate that word), unlike Christianity.
