    Pantheism vs. Atheism (Others are welcome)

    Indeed you have the right to any concept of god that you wish. However from the average atheists perspective you are adding unnecessary gaudy complexity to that which is perfectly simple and elegant. Why muck up the beauty of this natural universe by instilling it with anthropomorphic...

    Rejecting religion should be easy

    I believe it was carl Sagan who first made that statement. Dawkins is a big fan of his. :)

    Do animals worship a deity?

    I don`t think so. I know of no animal other than humans with the neural faculties capable of creating such an abstract concept.

    Rid Desire

    Why does "desires life" equate to "fears death" for you. One can desire life without fear of death. Many even desire death because they believe it will bring them greater life.

    Suffering and happy?

    Yes there is a serious martyr complex within Christianity in general. However it`s only the Catholic religion I know of that romanticizes suffering to the point of making it actually desirable and praiseworthy.

    Suffering and happy?

    The only religion I know of that sees suffering as a pillar of their theology is Catholicism. It`s a depressing scriptural outlook.

    What is to be made of Howard Camping?

    I think he`s just really bad at math.

    Deeply Disturbing Article

    Interesting tidbit. I don`t see your problem with it. It was posted as a debate with both the atheistic and theistic sides represented. Of course the atheist was far more rational. :) As far as making fun of others beliefs I don`t make any more fun of someone who sincerely...

    Atheists: why the Christians?

    I think it`s probably because you and the atheists in question live in a heavily Christianized culture. It`s the largest religious influence where you are so it is the religion that affects the atheists in your culture the most. Why ***** about Hinduism when you don`t have to deal with it? I...

    lady gaga is an abomination

    I`m not a gaga fan, wouldn`t recognize her music if I was listening to it. I do like that she tends to **** people off just for being the way she is. I haven`t seen the Meat Dress, anyone have a link?

    An honest question for women ...

    I have in my youth. The idea isn`t so appealing now. No, there are many opportunities for sex, finding a human I genuinely like is a rarity not to be tossed away.

    "Truth" What is it?

    I was under the impression that most science was awash in a state of "I don`t know". It`s their purpose to figure it out.

    Atheistic Religions

    It is not a lie. Please read for comprehension. I said the definition "is not the definition Websters HAS for religion" I went on to say the definition didn`t come from a "current" copy of Websters. Both of these statements are true. So now to proceed with an event never before...

    "Truth" What is it?

    I don`t think anyone is arguing against this. But how do we know it`s truth without verification? For me to accept something as truth it must be verified in some manner. I`m not so bullheaded as to need "irrefutable" evidence but some acceptable evidence is necessary. Until I have...

    "Atheists Do It Better" and have more fun

    No just ex Christians, actually upon further reading the abstract it does include many other religions. They just weren't mentioned in the first few paragraphs so I missed them. You aren`t attempting to state that there are no sexual prohibitions or inhibitions within other faiths are you...

    "Atheists Do It Better" and have more fun

    Ok, a quick glance at the report shows that the survey subjects (14,500) were all non-religious (Not necessarily atheist) people who had de-converted from a numerous different sects of Christianity in favor of a secular lifestyle. This is really no surprise to anyone familiar with western...

    "Atheists Do It Better" and have more fun

    Semantics. I don`t know Google it. It doesn`t interest me since I`m already aware of this truth. All that I`ve met but I admit that would mostly be practicing western Christians. They ALL have many dogmatically inspired sexual hang-ups. Edit: You can download the report here if you...
