I'm not the one that is terrified and kissing mythical ass to be "saved",Bubba.
Not ONE Christian is "terrified." You make up everything you say.
Loving and respecting our Creator is not "kissing mythical ass."
And rest assured, we ARE saved. You, not so much.
Christians are, on average, happier than atheists. Christians have better sex lives, lower rates of clinical depression and suicide. Christians give more money, more blood, and donate more of their time to all categories, religious, secular, family, and friends.
On your side of the Godless Ledger, atheists have murdered 150,000,000 in the twentieth century. That grisly toll continues, though at something of a reduced rate.

I find a need for God in the universe and in my own life.†- Arthur L. Schawlow, Professor of Physics at Stanford University, winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, believes that new scientific discoveries provide compelling evidence for a personal God.
“As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind.†― Max Planck
"Only a rookie who knows nothing about science would say science takes away from faith. If you really study science, it will bring you closer to God." - James Tour, Professor of Biochemistry, Rice University
For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been waiting there for centuries. - Robert Jastrow
“Astronomers now find they have painted themselves into a corner because they have proven, by their own methods, that the world began abruptly in an act of creation to which you can trace the seeds of every star, every planet, every living thing in this cosmos and on the earth. And they have found that all this happened as a product of forces they cannot hope to discover. That there are what I or anyone would call supernatural forces at work is now, I think, a scientifically proven fact.†― Robert Jastrow
“There is no doubt that a parallel exists between the big bang as an event and the Christian notion of creation from nothing.†- Nobel Prize winner George Smoot
Note: I posted this before reading the Moderator's warning. Rather than comment as he did, the Moderator SHOULD have deleted the hateful crap immediately preceding his post. Hateful condescension is anti-intellectual, unscientific, and utterly typical of atheists. They never seem to realize that.
