Did I ever mention Alice Miller?
I commented on your advocation of an adversarial parent/child relationship as indicated by your 'righteous retribution' comment.
Which again, I say is pitiful.
Careful backtracking there. You might trip over something you have said before.
I can understand why some bash Christianity. When Christians make statements such as atheism is a religion, which is like saying not collecting stamps is a hobby, I can see why Christians are ridiculed. I might not agree with how some go about bashing Christians, but I can certainly understand how it comes to this. The church is competition as far as a state that runs a communist system is concerned. Killing church leaders because they are considered a threat to communism is something most people do not condone, but at the same time it is easy to understand why these communist leaders take this route, they are power hungry tyrants. A communist regime might promote atheism because it's none threatening, but to claim that communists kill in the name of atheism is asinine. It's no wonder that Christians are ridiculed for such idiotic notions.
Then don't complain when you are ridiculed for making such silly statements. There is no dogma attached to not collecting stamps anymore than there is for not sharing in the belief of the theist.I said I believe not the christian community believes. Some groups of athiests act more like a religous entity than christians of diffrent churches do. There is no scripture to adhere to, there is no higher power but Dogma does exist.

I'm sure not collecting stamps is a hobby: you just have to go out of your way to avoid collecting them.When Christians make statements such as atheism is a religion, which is like saying not collecting stamps is a hobby,
Archer, do you even read the crap you link us to? That site has near-zero knowledge of science, or atheism for that matter. "Atheists believe religion is bad" What a load of bull. Atheism is merely the absence of belief in a higher power.

wow, that was really stupid and wrong. And you wonder why people who say baloney like that get repudiated?
Wrong, wrong, wrong. Here's what atheists believe: There is no god. That is all.I can do this all day but here is a fact Abrahamic believers have only one thing that is common. GOD! Atheists have the opposite in common.
Pretty much everything we believe that is based on faith is top of the do not delieve list for the Atheist kind of an Anti-Dogma.
If that's your logic, you can expect to get ridiculed. No, Archer, denial is the opposite of admission.Bull!!! You can say all you want but denial is as much as admittance at times.
Are you trying to tell us that the atheists, who have been in this religious forum for years, attempting to persuade all christians that they are wrong to put their faith in God's word and who strive to disprove and debunk all that is written in scripture, in their attempt to convert the God believers over to their godless belief, are not zealuos people who are devoted to their godless belief/religion? Wake up matey and open those blind eyes of yours.
Archer, read this carefully.
The definition of atheism: THE ABSENCE OF BELIEF IN A DEITY/DEITIES
That's it, OK? No hating religion or mass-murder. Merely the absence of belief in a deity. Stop tacking crap onto atheism that doesn't belong there. Do I start saying that Christianity hates all other religions and wants to kill them?
Christianity is the single greatest influence on western culture and opposition comes from all sorts of believers and non-believers alike that don't appreciate when Christianity interferes with politics, science class, and human rights. Atheism has nothing to do with doctrines of any sort, furthermore, I don't know exactly what your so called god consists of so I don't even know what I'm atheist about as it concerns you, and why should I care?Quote; dogswood; There is no dogma attached to not collecting stamps anymore than there is for not sharing in the belief of the theist.
S-words Response; are but there is dogma attached to the godless belief of the atheists. Do you belong to any atheist forum and donate to their cause?
From the Universal Dictionary, "Dogma;" "A doctrine or system of doctrines proclaimed true by a religious sect."
"Religion;" Any objective pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.
"Atheism;" Disbelief in or denial of the existence of God.---The doctrine that there is no God or that the word "God" and statements about it or using it are meaningless.
