    The bright side of Atheism

    Actually, even at work, school, and in my dealings with the government, you will find a surprising amount of non-compliance. I am two years behind on my taxes (they owe me money, not the other way around, so they're not too fussed about it). I skipped 60% of my classes in high school. I've...

    The bright side of Atheism

    You've misunderstood me. Dogs and children can feel guilty for no other reason than "breaking a rule" established by their caregiver. They don't have to understand the rule. A dog doesn't know why it's wrong to eat his best buddy's birthday cake while the kids are all downstairs watching a...

    Another pointless war?

    I agree, but many people simply believe whatever they are told by the authorities they have submitted to. "We'll be greeted as liberators" and so forth.

    Another pointless war?

    This. The US has been trying to put out a fire by drenching it with gasoline, over and over again. Either they are unaware that bombing people makes them angry, politicized and violent, or their intention is to make the ME angry, politicized and violent. I personally lean toward stupidity, but...

    A few thoughts from a former atheist

    Just different. Much worse for about half, who died, and a few generations during the cultural genocide bit, but to the extent that they have recovered and reestablished their autonomy and traditional justice system, probably. They have choices now that they didn't have before, and access to...

    Dark side of athiest culture

    But it wouldn't only be atheists who get riled by various expressions of faith. Remember how the Christians got outraged that Muslims wanted to build a mosque in Manhattan after 9-11? And in certain Muslim countries converting to Christianity is a capital offense. I think being irritated by...

    A few thoughts from a former atheist

    What does it make you wonder about?

    Why do people deny or have various doubts about God?

    Lots of Christians don't take the entire bible literally. Those who do are a tiny but disproportionately noisy minority.

    Dark side of athiest culture

    Ah, you are talking about extreme anti-theism, not atheism.

    The bright side of Atheism

    I'd rather "get it wrong" by disbelieving the various unbelievable things other humans claim to be true without evidence than "get it wrong" by believing every untrue thing I hear throughout my life. Hell is only one of an infinite number of things people have claimed without evidence. As...

    Dark side of athiest culture

    Lol. Or sawing off your hands to prevent yourself from accidentally praying.

    Why do people deny or have various doubts about God?

    When my mother stopped taking me to church, she said it was because she felt closer to God in the wilderness than in church. Try that. :)

    Dark side of athiest culture

    I don't even know how one could "extremely" not believe in the supernatural.

    The bright side of Atheism

    I'll take that bet too.

    The bright side of Atheism

    It's not that big a deal. He probably just didn't want you to put yourself out, and knew that prayer wouldn't have any effect on his wife's outcome.

    The bright side of Atheism

    I agree with this. But I've been wanting to tell you for a while now that it's "comfortable" and "circumstances". This completes your English education! :D

    Checkmate, Creationists!

    So god makes kids out of dirt and kids make dirt out of squeaky clean surfaces. I call infinite regression for the win.

    Why do people deny or have various doubts about God?

    If only I could drink at work.
