god is a belief. but, organized religion ruins it. religion ruins it by having crazy rules more than blockbuster on everything. what to eat, love, pray, clothing, etc…that and all those “spiritual” leaders on power trips. and, the bible was not written by god, it was written by a bunch of jewish old men who hated rome and roman rule. and, the earth is billions of years old, not 6000.

Religion and morality are unrelated. If you were to actually practice what is in The Bible literally, you’d be in jail for murder, animal cruelty, subversion of the First and Thirteenth Amendments, and being a generally intolerant schmuck.
Meanwhile, you have atheists who actually do things to improve the state of world, not for fear of divine vindication or in want of a better afterlife, but rather out of the good of their own hearts.

When Extremist Muslim Terrorists, the Westboro Baptist Church, and Pedophile Priests appear to be the “Face” of God, this happens.

I think one thing that athiests and religionists can agree on is that if the Rapture causes all of the believers to disappear from the earth and leave the rest of us behind that it would be pretty damn sweet.

You have to remember that the book about the Higgs’ boson was supposed to be titled “The G*dd*mn Particle” but the publisher changed it.

The people are sick of god, and the bullies in his fan club.

A beilef in something more powerful than their “God of Abraham” is what REALLY freaks them out! It’s a lot to do with the NONviolence aspect.

Will do, ruff!
Heavy B almost 12 years ago
Yeahhhhh, I don’t. I honestly don’t. I went to church for years, realized it was all bullsh*t, became an Atheist.

I can find lots of instances of people being killed for not believing in god. I can even find instances of people being killed for believig in the “wrong” god or worshipping him in the “wrong” way. But I’m having trouble finding cases of people being killed for believing in a god.

Yep, it’s definitely some of the believers but, it’s also that you don’t exist.

In all of history (so far) the result of waiting long enough is destruction. It happens whether you believe or not

Matt Adams, your post speaks to itself. Some Christians are intolerant conservatives loaded down with prejudice, we knew that already, but it’s nice to get it confirmed. But not all are. Same with atheists. And give me a doubting atheist over a committed religious nut ANY day, in ANY circumstance.

I have no desire to mock them. I just want them to leave me the hell alone!

and what values do the right wing have, hate is a great value, greed is a great value, the rest of the seven deadly sins are great values.

indeed, if Christ is saying to turn the other cheek then why are you good Christians acting like even an eye for an eye doesn’t apply.
zonmoy almost 12 years ago
god gives god a bad name, gods followers just give him a worse name than he manages to give himself.

Yeah, politicians give Christians a bad name. I go to church and I have liberal views. I’m pro choice. I’m not an insane politician. I don’t own guns. I support the assault weapons ban.
