I can't even say "no" in the poll because it's such a loaded question, meant to somehow make me feel bad for choosing it (though I don't, as I don't believe in a Hell that my child could even go to).


It says in the fucking Bible that children that die in abortions or still births go directly to Heaven.

I get the feeling sending babies who die by no agency of the parents are sort of bad publicity for God.

Um, I'm not even sure what to say this. I think that you really would have to first define exactly what a "mental disorder" is. Because if it's just a negative mental thing, then everyone with below average intelligence would be classified as having a disorder. So what would YOU define it as, and by your definition, does it fit?

Also that poll was incredibly biased. :clap:

I mean sure, I have several mental disorders, but I'm pretty sure Athiesm isn't one of them. This is a ridiculous idea. Correlation doesn't equal causation

Yeah, thanks, guy who just created his nation.

We figured as much.

Frankly, I'll do anything to get my post count up.

It's a bonus if it makes religious people look ignorant.

As a non-asshole Christian who respects other peoples' religious beliefs or lack thereof, this is quite possibly the dumbest, most bigoted, wrongest thing I have seen since Donald Trump's campaign started.

Congrats on that one.

Could it not also be just as valid to argue that religion is a neurological disorder given its basis in the belief in things that cannot be demonstrated to exist?

Organized religion, like political ideorgasm and sportsfanship, is Neurosorcery. Parents should be screened for these before being granted a license to breed.
