All Y’all Atheists.

[The Blaatschapen]

I can see that. I am all for freedom of religion, but I am against freedom from religion.

If you are against freedom from religion then you aren't actually in favor of freedom of religion, as one is an integral part of the other.

In Dutch we'd translate both as the same. Silly Anglophones

Considering the amount of theists who commit crimes, lie, cheat, and steal, and believe they can get away with it by praying away/confessing the sins, that's an invalid statement.

Your conscience and character play a far bigger role than fear of having a pitchfork shoved up your ass after you die.

Atheist commit on average, more crimes than theists.

As a Christian, I've always been bothered by the depiction of God as "sky-daddies", or just some bearded guy in the clouds. Besides the concept of the Heaven being the sky, there really isn't any treatment of heaven as being "in the clouds", at least not since the middle ages, and even then it was metaphorical not literal.

Sorry, just had to say that.

Other than that, since I feel I should contribute, I'm often taken aback at how poorly atheists are treated by Christians. I may not like you're decision to not believe in God, but I understand that it is your decision, that it doesn't make you evil or indeed any less capable of good.

I do hope too that it wasn't Christians that led you away from Christ, since that is perhaps the worst thing a Christian can do.

I was never "led away from christ" I just never had any need for a super-powered imaginary friend.

Though if Tony Stark is available, I won't say no.

No, I don't think it is at all hypocritical.
Just because you have the right to express your religion, does not mean that the government can endorse a religion.

But if a particular government worker wore, say, a cross or a burqa, is the government endorsing a religion? If a child says in the classroom "But everyone knows God doesn't exist", can a teacher say "Well actually, I'd disagree with you here, here and here"?

Government employees wearing a symbol of their faith is not a problem. A teacher voicing her personal beliefs (unless carefully couched as being solely his/her personal beliefs) in the classroom is not okay.

The end of all wicked people will come on judgement day.

And according to your religion, the end of all people who don't beileve in your "savior" will be condemned to hell, even if they are good honest people.

No, it really isn't.
All atheism is is the lack of belief in a deity or deities.

Dya, don't continue the feeding. His posts are only getting worse (including holocaust denial). It's not worth it

And Stanley Kirk Burrell is his prophet.

It wasn't the unicorns was it? I got worried about that until I read up about it and realized unicorn is a modern appropriation of the word that meant Rhinoceros. Why it's never been changed to Rhino is beyond me.

Honestly, the hardest thing in the Bible for me to understand was the bears mauling the kids for mocking someone's (might have been Elijah, but I can't remember off-hand) lack of hair.

I mean sure, the guy was a prophet, but that seems a little brutal. I'm not going to pretend that I have a right to judge God, but it's a bit odd as far as retribution goes.

See this?^ This is why your on my friends list.

Why thank you!

I never knew how those worked... I've never added a friend just because I always assumed it would do something, and I never understood what, and never really cared enough to investigate.

Can we have a thread for non golfers too?

What about those of us who don't paint?

I've always wanted to talk to people like me who can't play the drums.

I suppose I can understand that way of thinking. If I believed God was just in my head, I'd likely not have need of Him either.

But if Tony Stark sends me an invitation to be his best friend... Who cares if no one else believes he exists?

You'll be disqualified since NSG is considered to be a performance enhancing drug.

If I was friends with a billionaire playboy philanthropist, everyone would believe me, because the evidence would literally be raining from the sky. Don't fly power armour drunk, kids.

Just helps me keep track of those posters I respect.
