that quote is your entire post. If you are going to get angry, I suggest you review what you actually said first.

I bolded the first part yes, but the entire quote is there.

first statement of yours-

Quote:
I've always found the world of many atheists/agnostics to be quite interesting. Although I rarely hesitate to state my opinions on things, I've never been one to try to push my religious beliefs off on others, except for a few, rare, close and personal conversations.

The world of atheists/agnostics OTOH seems to contain many people who REALLY put forth a case for why others should join him in his disbelief. If you don't believe, FINE, have at it.

It just seems very odd that many of those who do NOT believe are so BENT on trying to convince others not to.

Just sayin'.
second statement of yours-

Quote:
I can't speak for others desire to "push" their belief on other people. I only know of my OWN activity in this regard.
you don't see the hypocrisy here? On one hand you make a broad claim that those who are athiest try to push it on others as a general rule, on the other hand you say you cant speak for others desire to push their belief on other people.

You contradicted yourself, and moreover, your initial comment flys in the face of recorded history of people butchering each other trying to push religious belief systems on each other
