It's not impossible to follow but it's like one does not have any self respect if they let the other person abuse them and then offer them to abuse more.

I have seen and known people who do follow the bible and say "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing." They forgive those who have done wrong to them and ask me to do the same. I don't believe in this but I believe in punishing those who commit a crime. Jesus asked to forgive the Jews who nailed him on the cross but I will never forgive them. If we keep forgiving our criminals, what's the point of having any LAW then?


I went up to the person and caught the stick with which he was beating up the dog and I made the dog to just run away and hide in the building. I never bear if I see anyone who is illtreating animals.

When I was more on the liberal/progressive side of things not long ago I was somewhat influenced by the concept that believers where more ignorant in part because they were less intelligent.  That message is a well played sales pitch and one which we see uses in a fair fraction of run-of-the-mill advertising campaigns.  People get off on being told they are smart to act in a certain way, and left wingers are especially prone to this line.  I still believe that there is a correlation between certain aspects of mental function and attitudes toward metaphysical things, but am more inclined to believe that the correlation is weak enough to not be much of a factor in most interactions.

Another complaint I had against religion is that I felt that as an organization, religion had a direct impact on society through lobbying efforts and the like, and thus a direct impact on me.  This may (or may not) have been a real problem when the religion was more strategically mobilized around the Reagan timeframe.  Lately I'm more of the opinion that whatever Judeao-Christian ethical constructs foisted upon me through the state are not a huge problem.  Most of them make some sense and the problem is not excessive.  For now.  It's something I continue to keep a wary eye on, however, and the potential for problems  bothers me in what seems to be the same way that it bothered certain of the founders of the country.  Loss of freedom at the hands of the religious class is hardly a rarity historically speaking.

A am as much an atheist as ever (preferring the term 'heathen') but as I age and observe things and interact with different people I am of the mindset that there are a great many religious people doing a lot of good things.  (BTW, this includes Hamas and Hezbollah who are primarily social organizations trying to best serve their people who are under great stress.)  I cannot help but feel inferior in some ways to people who give up a part of their lives in the service of others, and I no longer believe that this is simply a quid-pro-quo with their God to buy a place it the afterlife.  At the end of the day many of these people are better humans than I and a lot of my heathen brethren.

Edit: counterparts -> brethren (more correct and appropriate usage.)

Human beings have so little knowledge about the universe in which they live, that they don't know what having sense is like. Thank God that He fills in the important gaps for us with direct knowledge in the form of the Bible.

Is it fuck BADecker. You're so epically dishonest and a shining example of why atheists hate religion, because religion REQUIRES the believer to maintain a state of intellectual dishonesty, which means you have to lie to yourself against everything your rational brain recognises as being logical fallacy.

Religion is a belief system based on faith. Atheism is a rejection of such belief systems, BECAUSE THEY ARE ENTIRELY FALLACIOUS, in place of a free-thinking, objectively reasoned, critical perspective applied to one's reality.

Your persistent appeal-to-authority, appeal-to-ignorance and, worst of all, special-pleading are simply so you can declare things to be facts without actually having any evidence to support your claims, as is the case for ALL theism. Repeatedly posting your link to your atrociously poor-quality notion of 'evidence' does not, and will not, magically make it credible and worthy of consideration.


Nearly enough evidence? How about the fact that within this Universe there is no reason or requirement for a deity and anything you want to speculate about outside of this Universe is simply making-shit-up(tm). You have no reason or evidence to justify or warrant the notion that a deity exists, yet you persistently speak of such as though you have great knowledge, but you do not. You are conditioned to believe and you are slavishly following your conditioning, that is all you have and that is all you are at this time.



Religion poisons everything. That's why.

Don't even bother trying to head off on the usual dishonest tangent about how religious groups do a lot of 'good', when NOTHING they do requires their religion and, in fact, an atheist charitable group is by definition more worthy of respect for their actions because they do not conduct themselves charitably on the basis of being watched and judged by an invisible super-being.

Mother Theresa was a nasty narcissistic delusional monster who made sure that those she 'cared' for suffered, because she believed that only through their suffering could they get close to her particular invisible super-being.

Yet most theists persistently cite her as being a wonderful example of theist benevolence.

It doesnt take nearly as much grey matter to realize that there is no single entity capable of creating this universe than it takes to write down a troll book & start a new religion with it.

Atheism is not a religion it is the opposition of faith with inquisitive questioning. Atheism doesnt seek to disprove that god exists, for if it did exist atheism would try to figure out why it exists.

On average the typical atheist would spend more of his free time finding evidence of 'god' and disproving hoaxes. A typical theist would simply believe whats being told to him.

If atheism was about any form of hate, then it would be hatred towards blind faith.

That is good thing. And everyone  has its own opinion. I respect your thinking. And its not compulsory that every person have same thinking.

Nonsense.  I'm an intelligent person.  I have ethics and morals.  I don't need spirituality. 

Tell that to the mictobe who asks where the petri dish came from.


At times atheists say that God doesn't exist. At other times they act the part without saying it.

At times atheists have faith in things and people. Religious people question all the same things that atheists do.

Some atheists attempt to prove God doesn't exist.


The polls are designed to elicit the information out of the people being polled that the pollsters want to hear. Do you have any polls to back this up?



Not all atheists hate God. Some are simply ignorant of Him on the outside. But there are those who hate God down deep, and are using the atheistic attitude to try to make Him go away.

There's is a lot of stuff in life that seems illogical. Yet it is there, and it does work. The existence of God may not seem logical in some ways, but this does not mean that God does not exist. Until there is proof that He doesn't exist, atheism is at least philosophy in all atheists, and is religion in some.

Because religion has kept us (mankind) in the dark for ages...because religion is the worst lie ever told and yet still efficient after 2000 years....because most religious institutions don't pay any government taxes...because most religious people are hypocrites who think that confessing to a priest/imam/etc  "washes away" their sins and they can go on being scums again and again until they drop dead and "go to heaven"...

God forgives if you confess. How convenient is that ?!

I should be religious too, it would help me sleep a lot better at night...I just have to lie to myself and others and of course....confess ....

1. We try to disprove "its'" existence by proving it doesnt exist. We could do it the other way around as well.
2. We are anything but ignorant. We dont vehemently oppose a religious freak and burn him at stake for opposing our views.
3. The fact that there is no liquid water on Moon was widely accepted. Just goes to show you that even the scientists can be wrong but this also can be interpreted as that not all the popular 'beliefs' are true - no matter how many people believe it.

It would be wrong to say one cant prove that god doesnt exist, because we can. You just have to give in to the fact that all that you have been told by your ancestors who were a bunch of noobs was all a big fat juicy lie.
