Your god gets credit for nothing until you demonstrate its existence. Until you do, Santa has equal claim to the credit for existence.

Fortunately for mankind, the mechanics behind life do not depend on your ridiculous theorizing in order to operate.

Intolerance of Christianity? Are you kidding?
You'll find that we're far more tolerant of you than you have ever been of us. For example, you'll find that if you want to nail a chicken dipped in goat blood and a stick with jingly bells and dance all night shaking the chicken and stick at the moon if that's what gives your life meaning, moral grounding, and a framework for understanding the universe, nobody will try to burn you alive for it.
I promise you that we won't burn you at the stake, impale you in the iron maiden, or stretch or twist you on the rack. That already makes unbelievers more tolerant of Christians than Christians have been of unbelievers.
Nor will we call you vile, abominations, the moral equivalent of murderers and whoremongers, nor fit to be dropped into a lake of fire while fully conscious.
We're going to show you mercy. You wouldn't like justice very well.
Is that tolerant enough?

Atheists never commit evil so fully and joyfully as when they do it for power and self gain (ergo communism).

You're the ignorant one. Atheism- the theory or BELIEF that God does not exist. You contradict yourself.

I'm the atheist, therefore I choose what it means, it means I lack the belief in a god, that's the dictionary definition as well. End of story.

Yet, you pretend you do comprehend it, all theists do.

If theists could comprehend what cannot be objectified there would not be so many versions of God. God is a metaphor for that which transcends all levels of intelletual thought and religons the touchstones of our "sensed" divinity expressed.

So explain how it is that medical science works?

Yet the world did survive, and went on to suffer the atrocities of godless communist regimes where millions of people were maimed and killed ... The historical record of collective atheism is thousands of times worse on an annual basis than Christianity’s worst and most infamous bloodbath, the Spanish Inquisition.

What do you think would be the difference if Pol Pot and Mao had been Christians? Are you implying that that would have saved lives? Hitler and Stalin were raised in Christianity. It didn't seem to make much difference, did it? Not any more than it did during the Spanish Inquisition or the Salem witch burnings.

Totalitarian ideologies like Stalinism are simply religions like Christianity and Islam, but with human gods. They are all cults of personality, where worship of the leader and strict devotion to his pronouncements is demanded. They are equally authoritarian and intolerant, and as you noted, each have long histories of genocide.

Secular humanism, which is only guilty of giving the world modern liberal democracies, human rights, and science, repudiates it all:

"We affirm humanism as a realistic alternative to theologies of despair and ideologies of violence and as a source of rich personal significance and genuine satisfaction in the service to others."

Add this to the unholy gruesome slaughter of abortion and the numbers are unconscionably staggering!

Every member of the Supreme Court that voted with the majority in Roe vs. Wade was a theist. Most abortions have been requested by Christian women. I'm afraid that blood is on your hands.

Atheism - The theory or BELIEF that God does not exist.(google it) There most certainly is scientific evidence that God is real. Look it up. I ain't doing your work for you. However there is NO SCIENTIFIC evidence to prove that God does not exist. It's not possible. You just can't do it. The mere BELIEF that God does not exist is a BELIEF within itself. Ergo you are a hypocrite.

What value would a proof that gods do not or cannot exist be? Who would it benefit? Not me. And not you. Right?

If "the god!" is beyond all intellectual thought or imaginings able to be conceived of by man, then, how can you make that statement?

Wait, don't tell me, you know.

Why is it that theists have such a hard time copying and pasting links, and further, why do they have problems copying and pasting links that are crappy, too?

Sorry, but where did you say your proof was? I looked at those pieces - nothing. Which one did you think contained a proof in it?

Who is "God"? Jehovah-Jesus? The proof that that god is a mythological creature is in the bible it is said to have written, which is self-refuting. It tells us about a perfect god, and then describes a monster in a book full of errors. There are no more perfect gods making mistakes than there are married bachelors.

A real god would have known how the universe and life on earth evolved.

I'm not a hypocrite as I know what I believe and why I believe it and I don't engage in the same behaviors I condemn others for. In fact, I don't condemn anyone at all.

Then somebody's posting in your name and making you look like a hypocrite. From http://www.topix.com/forum/religion/atheism/T... :

"The total body count for the ninety years between 1917 and 2007 is approximately 148 million dead at the bloody hands of only fifty-two atheists"

"the greed and gluttony of an amoral science driven vision to industrialize the world"

I never said that God didn't exist. Atheists did. By definition atheism is the theory or belief that God doesn't exist. It doesn't specify which god. It just says God. Back to my question: What proof or evidence do you have to support your BELIEF that God doesn't exist?

Who or what is "God"? If you can't define it, you can't very well expect others to take seriously your claim that it exists.
