Quoting your own words back to you, and asking questions about them, is not being a "bully".
The Bible actually teaches us to question and test people's words.
If you aren't ashamed of your own words, then quoting them back to you shouldn't be a problem.
So far, you have actually started making accusations against ME.
You came to a christian forum, made statements which you KNOW are antithetical to our beliefs, and CONTROVERSIAL.
So how can anyone here be a bully for QUESTIONING YOU for BEING INTENTIONALLY CONTROVERSIAL?
You came here making intentionally controversial statements,
and when I questioned you about your own words...
YOU have started making accusations against ME.
I didn't call YOU any names.
But you've done that to me.
You don't get to come here, make intentionally controversial statements, and then when someone questions you... you get to call them names and act like a victim.
Watching this same thing happen every day just makes me tired.
It's so transparent.
And so old.

Max, I hate to further upset you with more comments but you did call me an atheist. Which I am not, I found that offensive.
So far I have just been open and honest with my interest in this forum. So far you are the only one who has had an issue with me being here.
“Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.”

You're not an atheist?
I'd love to clear that up then.
* Your profile says you're not a Christian.
* You clearly said you don't believe in God.
* Then you said you think the world would be better off without religion at all.
So... you aren't a christian, you don't believe in God, and you don't believe in any kind of religion.
That is all taken from your own words.
So, if you aren't a christian, don't believe in God, and you don't believe in religion...
and now you say you're not an atheist...
then what exactly is your belief system?

I said the world would be less violent without religion.
I don't really have a belief system. Also you really dont need a label and you dont need to label people. Just accept people and give them a chance.
I just enjoy learning about different religions. One thing you will learn in life is that you can learn something from everyone you meet. It just takes an open mind and a few minutes of your time.

Sure 
If it is true that there is a hell and believing in Christ ensures ones eternal wellbeing, then one is not merely responding out of fear of hell but are responding out of a love for the truth. Now i agree with you that people do indeed believe because they have a healthy fear and view of Gods judgement i.e. hell, but what makes a world view consistent and grounded is not what people are feeling or not feeling but rather what makes a consistent and grounded world view is its ability to accurately reflect every single aspect of reality and give answers for why this is the case.

Atheism:
People who don't believe in God are called atheists.
That's the definition of the term.
If you don't believe in God, you are, by definition, an atheist.
It doesn't matter whether or not you like the term.
If you do not hold to theism, then you are an atheist.
You may call yourself whatever you like,
but the rest of the world will probably call you an atheist,
because that's what you are... you fit the correct definition.
* I can call myself a spotted goldfish, but I'm still a human.
* You can say you "don't need a label"... but you're still an atheist.
I refuse to descend into semantic absurdity just because someone else wants to live there.

I'm not defending him or anything but some people don't like labels. Me for instance I don't like to be called by any denomination not even nondenomination as that itself is a denomination and I don't even like calling myself Christian I simply call myself a child of God.
I am a Christian but My identity is simply a child of God

Blain,
Let's move beyond your own dislike of denominations, and deal with the real issue I was originally dealing with above... the fact that an atheist wouldn't admit he was an atheist.
In our post postmodern relativistic culture...
many people try to avoid any kind of label just to avoid REALITY and all ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THAT REALITY.
If you're a boy who wants to be a girl, you just say, "I am now a girl," and everyone is supposed to pretend you've magically turned into a girl. Just by changing your label from boy to girl, we're all supposed to believe you have somehow ACTUALLY CHANGED from a boy to a girl.
Chickenkiller, who by all definitions is an atheist, wants to say, "I'm not an atheist", as if those 4 words will magically transform him into something else. Well, they don't.
We have this mutual convention called language, that helps us to communicate.
We have words for things.
If the whole world looks at an oak tree and calls it a "tree", but YOU choose to call it a "donkey"... well... it's still a tree.
