If you're stuck back in time, and you want to worship Zeus and Mars and Athena, feel free to do so – or just keep holding on to your godless faith in science with all it's frauds and misconduct, and embrace your atheistic religion – the choice is all yours, lol.

It aint necessarily so wrote:

The Christian church has no respect for Americanisms such as church-state separation. Their church only gives lip service to such ideas. Their first four Commandments command religious observance, and exclusively to the Christian god.

Christian philosophy is anti-American in spirit. The models of government are authoritarian: the god over man, and the man of the house over his wife and children. There is no voting in heaven, and their god doesn't take surveys or count hands.

And there are no rights or freedoms in the bible - just the right to obey or burn.

Does anybody really doubt that if the church had the power to enforce its theocratic model that it wouldn't?

Even more so, has that church ever had the authority to burn witches at the stake or impale heretics in the iron maiden and said, "No, that is cruel and barbaric. We refuse to exercise that power"? Of course not.

You flatter yourself.
Christians don't what your azz in heaven! We don't want to save you from yourself. We just want junk science stopped.

The atheist's leap of faith

“According to the News Bureau at the University of Illinois, "Life did not begin with one primordial cell. Instead, there were initially at least three simple types of loosely constructed cellular organizations. They swam in a pool of genes, evolving in a communal way that aided one another in bootstrapping into the three distinct types of cells by sharing their evolutionary inventions."

I have some news for the University News Bureau. If you talk about life beginning as a "loosely constructed cellular organizations" that swam "in a pool of genes," then it wasn’t the beginning at all, because loosely constructed cellular organizations swimming in a pool of genes already existed.

Ex-atheist, Lee Strobel said, "Essentially, I realized that to stay an atheist, I would have to believe that nothing produces everything; non-life produces life; randomness produces fine-tuning; chaos produces information; unconsciousness produces consciousness; and non-reason produces reason. Those leaps of faith were simply too big for me to take ..."

For the beginning to be the beginning, there must be nothing. Zilch. If you disagree, in simple language, explain to me where I am going wrong. Tell me what was in the beginning--what was it that began the evolutionary process? Let me guess your answer. You don't know what it was, but you know that it wasn't God.”

"You don't know what it was, but you know that it wasn't God.”"

How true!

And a small religion 2.3%.
No other religion in the history of the earth Has lost more members then Atheist.

Why do atheists hate God?

Recently, I have had a lot of conversations with atheists. Many express a strong hatred of God. I have been at a loss to explain this. How can you hate someone you don’t believe in? Why the hostility? If God does not exist, shouldn’t atheists just relax and seek a good time before they become plant food? Why should it matter if people believe in God? Nothing matters if atheism is true.

“If God does not exist, shouldn’t atheists just relax and seek a good time before they become plant food?”

[SEEK A GOOD TIME? Naahhh.....they'd rather waste their time hating.]

They hate because their soul is screaming for God and they Ignore it which causes internal strife.

Umm...let me see...atheists are atheists because they secretly want to believe in god?

By your twisted logic that must mean that religious folks are really atheists running away from god.

Again...you guys are kinda creepy.

"2005 poll by AP/Ipsos surveyed ten countries. Of the developed nations, people in the United States were most sure of the existence of God or a higher power (2% atheist, 4% agnostic)"

Wikipedia :

"According to one estimate, atheists make up about 2.3% of the world's population"

So stop blaming us for all the world woes.

Hey sock puppet for Wimp Lo, When you put "A" in front of a word, it means "without or not", for instance, "atypical" means not typical, "asymmetrical" means not symmetrical, "asymtomatic" means without symptoms, now, would you like to guess what atheist means? DUUUUUHHHH. No wonder you and Wimp Lo get along so well, niether of you has an IQ above 30, which makes sense since you are his sock puppet.

Atheism is not a religion.

Two questions...

Why do you use something from a 2005 source?

If you claim that, based on your source "2.3% of the world's population consists of individuals who profess "atheism, skepticism, disbelief, or irreligion, including the militantly antireligious." How do you continue to claim that atheism is a religion? You can't have it both ways moron.

You are such an idiot!! ROTFLMAO!!!!!

It's a need they have in order to argue that their religion is better etc....
They can't argue against what atheism really is (a lack of belief in a god(s). The only way to argue with that is to prove that there is a god, which they simply can't do.
