Atheism requires as much faith as religion?

[Dave Nelson]

Buckethead wrote and played a song for a famous entertainer. One that had some evident identity problems which our Topix atheist can surely relate to.

Really pretty little song. Listen to the very end.

What a pal.

They don't make speedos my size.

Like putting a bowling ball in a change purse.

Yeah. When a beautiful relationship with a woman only cost $15 an hour.

And on that day it will become a scientific issue. Not before that.

If its not a scientific issue, you ignore it?

That would be fascinating! I'd be more than happy to accept such results, once independently verified.
Would you be as willing to accept the results if it proves there is no such thing?

Yes I would.

But that ain't gonna happen

Interesting... When you get there...
What will you say to Islam's martyrs from 9/11?Will you see their 72 Virgin stash and be jealous?
Where are the toilets?
Will you fish in the lake of fire?(Pre cooked)!
Will ANY tele-evangelist be there?
Will nuns and priests finally get laid... And By whom?
What does heaven mean to you?
I envision too many problems, especially previous relatives!
;)

I don’t plan on going to hell.

Yes I do think there will be some tele-evangelist there.

Along with the 911 Terrorist among others.

Hell is a difficult place to understand. I don’t dwell on it.

I have seen flames and been in flames as a fire fighter. Even burned by a high pressure jet fuel. There’s no pain like being burned by fire.

Why would God do such a thing as build a place like hell?

God is an extremist, he does everything in extremes. He couldn’t just make one star but he made so many they can’t be counted. He has a extreme loving side and a extreme angry side.

This is all a joke to Atheist. They remind me of a man named Harry Randall Truman. He lived near Mt St Helens in Washington State. Officials warned him that the Mountain was going to blow. He laughed if off.

He died along with 56 others around the blast zone. Where he stayed in his lodge was buried under 150’ of magma and ash. That’s roughly a 15 story building high.

Atheist always want proof. I think Hell is going be plenty of proof. I don’t wish it on anybody. By the time Atheist get to Hell they'll be believers but it will be too late.

And real women were at home prepping dinner & got beat if they tried denying sex to their husbands.

Did a week in Steelers camp. They passed on me. Said I seemed like a trouble-maker. I got in 7 fights. I remember, because it was one each day.

I played for the New York Yankees one year as center fielder. After the year was up they never called me back.

That was the end of my baseball career but hey, I can say I played baseball for the Yankees. I wasn’t good enough for a long term contract but that’s the way it goes.

Then they booo hoo and cry when their husbands cheat on them.

Yeah! You are the toughest keyboard tough guy on topix!

I bet you won everyone of those 'fights' too! LOL!

Each one of your characters is tough! Yeah, I have noticed that.

Each one tells silly jokes, too!

Given enough time, you may prefect this multi personality disorder thing you got going.

Enjoy!

Not really a relationship if you pay for it, which explains why you're on here a lot, no?

They must have heard of your experience as a space cadet and frequent flier miles to "out there".

Stop pretending, you work for the Illuminati and we all know it.

Anybody else see a disconnect here?

If I "reserve judgment" until evidence is presented then I would be the opposite of a "fanatical fundie."

"Peach on earth?
Not as long as religion exists."
~anon

When parents proclaim that their little ones are Christian.
This infers that they comprehend:

1 The Jesus tale as explained in the Bible
2 The concept of heaven & hell
3 The concept of 'faith' in the invisible
4 Original Sin
5 Forgiveness
6 A Triune God (aka Big Daddy, Junior & Spook)
7 Communion

It matters not how much water is sprinkled on their heads, how many magical words are whispered, they haven't the slightest notion what it this about and thus they cannot be a Christian.
