The big problem with the idea of there being no God is that there are too many people who fancy that they could fill the void.

I would encourage all freepers to use the Truth Project in a small group:

I’ve been told Atheism is not a religion. If that’s true, we can ban these people from talking without having to listen to them scream about discrimination...

ping for later

The McGraths also point out the folly of believing that if religion were eliminated wars would cease...

Maybe someone forgot about the Soccer War that broke out a while back?

If you live your life as if there is no God, for your sake you better damn well be right.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

One of his proofs of theistic obtuseness is that "viruses like HIV, as well as a wide range of harmful bacteria, can be seen evolving right under our noses, developing resistance to antiviral and antibiotic drugs."

How come Sammy doesn't understand that an HIV virus that mutates is, um, still an HIV virus?

Oh right, it's because most people who stump for evolution don't actually know very much ABOUT evolution.

Nineteenth-century novelist Gustave Flaubert used to joke about archaeologists discovering a stone tablet signed "God" and reading, "I do not exist." His punch line had an atheist then exclaiming, "See! I told you so!"

That's funny.

Aetheism is hardly a religion, it’s a misguided way of life.

An old guy told me once that he was like that before he went to Vietnam. he said a bunch of his fellow soldiers were the same way. Real hardasses.

then he said he came to the realization that there is no such thing as an athiest in a foxhole.

[TheDon]

"An average Christian, in an average church, listening to an average Sunday sermon has achieved a level of arrogance simply unimaginable in scientific discourse."

I'd say the manking caused "Global Warming" believers is a good counter point to this point!

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Here's something to have a little fun with atheists - You might be a fundamentalist atheist if....

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

I’ve been told Atheism is not a religion.

Well, atheism is not a religion, but it is a faith-based belief system.

[ASA Vet]

we can ban these people

That happens here when someone admits to not being a supernaturalist.

[TheDon]

atheist is short for autotheist

[HerrBlucher]

You believe the astronomical size of the universe somehow disproves God, as if God needed a tiny universe in order to exist.

I went around and around with an athiest on another forum over this point....he just couldn't give up the idea that a big universe meant there was no God. When I asked him what size universe would accomodate the concept of a God he had no answer.

Ban people from talking?

Do you have any idea how that sounds in a free country?

[windsorknot]

Atheism is irrational. For atheists the existence of God is not even open to question: not only does God not exist, but there isn’t even the possibility of his existence.

Nothing turns me off from religion more than the behavior of Christians in threads about Atheism.
