"Religion is fragmenting the human community," said Sam Harris

Actually two are, your secular atheism is one and Muhammad's death cult is the other, and you seem to be allied with one another against our Judeo-Christian culture.

Amen! He's clearly not dead...but sometimes I wonder whether He really gives a damn about us or not considering what we put Him through.

A greater number of "atheists" and "pagans" adopt the same hackneyed tenets of a faux Judaic-Christian ideal (golden calf). They also subscribe to the Judaic fetishism of "sin," but will fight to their death in denial of it.

Most of them are so wrapped up in their own polemics that they have become nothing more than pathetic anti-Christians with the same false hypocritical philosophy. They just slap a new label on it hoping nobody will notice - - they replace the idea of "avoiding sin" with "morals."

Morality and all of its associated ideals are rooted entirely in the presupposition some higher power defines what is correct for human behavior.

Today, "morals" are a religious pagan philosophy of esoteric hobgoblins. Transfiguration is a pantheon of fantasies as the medium of infinitization. Others get derision for having an unwavering Judaic belief in Yahweh or Yeshua, although their critics and enemies will evangelize insertion of phantasmagoric fetishisms into secular law.

"There is no God."

Great bible quote! Here are a few more of similar quality and wisdom:

Wherefore my bowels shall sound like a harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kirharesh. (Isaiah 16:11)

"and lusted after her paramours there, whose members were like those of donkeys, and whose emission was like that of stallions." (Ezekiel 23: 21, NRSV)

"But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?" (II Kings 18:27)

Yep. Plenty of wisdom in the good-book.

I'm starting to think that having a book on the New York Times best seller list is like getting a Nobel Peace Prize. It just don't mean $hit anymore.

"There are people who don't believe in Hell until they get there"

There's a village atheist in my small South Carolina hometown, always writing in to the local paper, denouncing believers as ignorant superstitious peasants, threatening to sue local churches for ringing their Sunday bells and invading `his space', but most of all, proclaiming the intellectual superiority of himself and his fellow "brights" (his term!).

Yep, atheists are smarter than everybody else. Don't believe it? Just ask 'em.

Religion is fragmenting the human community.

Interesting notion. Religion is generally what keeps a community together.

It is really ironic in my view that atheism is held by many to be the 'educated' view. Irrespective of he details of what one believes, it is much less defensible, logically, to believe that all of existence has no meaning, than to believe that there is a reason we are here.

Atheism = self-deception carried to the extreme!
