I don't get why all atheists feel the need to be pricks, they should respect other peoples beliefs. While I don't necessarily believe in all of the christian religion, I dont verbally attack people who do

All Atheists don't. And it's Religious people I usually see shouting in the street damning people to hell. Why don't they respect that an Atheist doesn't believe? Don't go pretending that Theists are some sort of victim.

All atheists don't feel the need to be pricks. Wikipedia, contray to popular belief, contains plenty of facts and good summarys of theories - making it a useful place to link to.

Also there is absoloutely no burden on an atheist to respect someones beliefs. I hate that notion. I don't respect Islam, for instance. I respect peoples choice to believe as long as they go about it in a way that does not interfere with the lives of others ... but why should I have to respect the religion? What if I find the religion disrespectful?

I hate this idea that we have to respect someones religious beliefs. The best I can do is respect their freedom of choice as long as it doesn't intervene with others freedom of choice.

Well said. The day that religion is ousted from our schools and politics then people may have a little more "respect" for it.

But who can respect adults saying they believe in what the bible says? - i mean come on..

I do agree with that, you only have to look at America to figure out why religeon shouldn't be a factor in politics, any old guy can get into a position of power by wittering on about god in the deep South.

Offer alternate explanations or criticise the things in favour of its existence? You can prove that your kids imaginary friend doesn't exist, so I'm sure you can do the same for religion. Its the same thing after all but imaginary friend on a mass scale

Just found this on Google also

The Bible and the Church says that:
1. God is omnibenevolent. He has infinite love for all humans.
2. God is omniscience. He knows everything there is.
3. God is omnipotent. He can do anything he wants.


The problem of Evil and Suffering
1. As God is omnibenevolent he wouldn’t want us to suffer.
2. If we were suffering God would know how, why and how to stop it
3. God is omnipotent and can do anything he wants.

So God can't exist. And if he does its not in the form he's expected and so you begin to chip away at this so called God.

Seems pretty logical and straight forward enough to me?

Offering an alternative explanation isn't proof though and no one can prove that a childs imaginary friend doesn't actually exist either

I don't really have a problem with Dawkins, Hitchens and that lot, and I find it a bit stupid when people use the term "fundamentalist Atheism" and make out it's just the same as Religious fundamentalism. The worst the militant Atheists do is challenge religious beliefs, albeit quite aggressively, but at least they don't wish to see you suffering in eternal hell just because you didn't live your life as their God supposedly dictates

Only thing about them is they seem to debate and meet with complete twonks. Some Christians can put their views across really well without coming across as a raving fundie. They may've come across some of them people and I have not seen it, but from what I've seen, they meet complete idiots.

Yeah that's probably right, I did actually read recently how Dawkins declined to attend a debate with some top Christian theologist or something, might have had a reasonable explanation but the article I was reading was pretty much implying he was a bit of a cop out

God, Sticks with his mini novel post with lots of links and a cheeky reminder he moderates a Science forum or whatever it is

[Crimson Dynamo]

Even on DS there are about 5 believers and all are fairly hopeless.

But its not the people, its the baseless stance that religion gives them.

[Sam:)]

I don't believe in hell, in a way I don't believe in any of it (if anyone was outside barrots in Henry Street at around 4 you would have seen me tell some american preacher to **** off. Its just comforting to think that when we die that its not the end.

Whether or not there's an afterlife, I think it's annoying when people try to force their views on you. So whether that's a religious person trying to convert you or a non-religious person trying to convince you that there's no God, it's annoying either way. Let everyone be, isn't that what we're meant to be aiming for - some kind of universal tolerance of each other?

And even that simplification isin't accurate. What about fence sitters and people who have not made up their minds yet?

Agnostics, yo. Word.

I'd say they are non believers

i'd feel sad for him if he hadn't used that music in the video. It's like Michael Bay teamed up with Magnetic Man.
