There's an update here:

Here are a couple gems.

<<Someone doesn't get what theism means.>>
"

O... you are a theist? Come on now... There is a god, there is not a god... if you want to say there are many gods, does that make you a subset of theism or atheism?

Of course, you can not claim either, can you? That is because there can not be many gods. It is an illogical and insupportable thesis."

<<Someone is stuck in the dark ages>>
"Ah who ever said the sun is heavier ? Scientists(man) not God . Sun is made up of gases which are lighter than the earth's surface.It makes alot more sense for the sun to go around the earth. THere is nothing egotistical about that. God made man his center of attention."

<<Someone confuses Christian values with morals again>>
"...But to get back to the rest of your post I would like to ask if you have any proof, facts or figures that atheists love their mothers or their country I would love to see it. And you should know that unlike Christians, who are taught to love and respect their parents (read the 10 commandments), atheist are not required to do so and often don’t because “hey, since nothings’ going happen to me after I die why should I care”, that’s just how they think.

1. the thing I think is great about atheists

is that we don't need the fear of god to make us do the right thing. We just do. I know "they" think godless equals immoral but every atheist I know (real ones, not ones who are just trying to piss off their parents) is good person who does the right thing because it's the right thing not because they're afraid of consequences in an afterlife.

Funny, none of them hate their mothers either. And now that I think about it? to a person they're all politically active and realize that waving a flag doesn't make you a patriot.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

3. Very true.

It pisses me off royally that the flag has become this symbol of idiot flag waving faux patriots now. The Flag stands for something incredible, but I can't seem to separate the two. It's unfortunate.

[A HERETIC I AM]

2. I think i need a shower now.

"With my children, I am not going to push any of them to go to college of any kind at all, but if our sons want to, I'll be all for it, but I'm not going to force it. But I'd try to discourage our daughters from going, they would be much better off apprenticing in the home for how to serve their husbands than they would be going to college to "get a career"."

(bold emphasis mine)
Yeah, that's gonna work.

This one just reeks of the application of the old Texas "he needed killin'" defense

"Dawkins, you and your atheist friends cannot win. America WILL become a Christian Republic even if we have to write a whole new constitution. Millions of us are dedicated to this righteous cause. We will suceed. And then we will invade godless countries like "Great" Britain and kill all of your heathens. First we need to take care of things at home and in the Middle East but we will get around to Europe. You Godless freaks will die but then you will roast in hell for infinite time. Goodbye you loser"

Somebody just shoot that guy.

[alarimer]

4. "Somebody just shoot that guy"

No. Somebody just shoot ME if these people ever get their way (or more of it than they have already). I don't want to live in their world.

[RushIsRot]

5. They won't want to live in the world of their making either!

[Maestro]

6. In second quote the holier roller misspelled, succeed.

I swear, they are nucking futs!

12. Hmmm...

Gee, that doesn't sound like a terroristic threat or anything, does it?

But, of course, the Wregime would never think to keep a Christian forum under surveillance. After all, as the song goes, "They'll know we are Christians by our love."

7. "God made man his center of attention"

That, to me, is largely at the center of widespread religious idiocy. Many people just can't accept the fact that they are simply one of several primate species that evolved from one-celled organisms over eons on a planet in a solar system in a not particularly special galaxy within a universe that is immensely, immensely vast.

Their tiny little brains and massive egos lead them to believe they are at the center, and that the hovering omnipotent deity thinks that they are the mostest specialist bestest things in the whole universe! :rofl: It's pathetic!

[Fire Walk With Me]

8. That is one of the signifying problems with humans.

They believe what they like, what appeals to them. Facts or a story in full context need not enter the process.

It is also a great secret of spirituality. Thought is irrelevant. Two monks were arguing when the master walked by. "Master", they said, "Is the flag moving or is the wind moving?" "Mind is moving", answered the master.

[ghostsofgiants]

9. Why should I share my thoughts?

It's not like they're sharing any thoughts.

[EstimatedProphet]

10. How about a real-life one?

I've seen "saved" people drinking out in public in Mississippi, when they believe that drinking is evil. And they claim they can do it because they were saved, so they can do what they want now.

[LordJFT]

11. they are generally very hippocritical

[Orsino]

13. Anyone equating theism with morality scares me a little.

I have to suspect that person's warning me what might happen should he chance to lose his faith.

Deep down, though, he's probably just been indoctrinated with religion since birth, and so isn't able to distinguish it from the moral lessons he also learned.

[skygazer]

14. What cracks me up about the religious in general

And these wingnuts in particular, is that they believe the completely illogical with all their heart and soul and think it makes perfect sense. However, a person who believes in aliens, or witches, or ghosts, or Santa Claus or anything else which is just as absurd or illogical is labeled a fool or an idiot or a heretic.

I posted the other day about the girl in my Anthropology class who asked how evolution explained witches. The professor told a story about the African juju men and how the tribal people believed he could cast a spell that would protect them from the bullets of the European colonists. And so the warriors went out and got shot to pieces.

She said, "Well, that's just silly." :wtf:

How's it any different? He said, "How about Superman?" She said, "Well, that's just a made-up story."

:wtf:

How these people can walk and chew gum at the same time is beyond me. :banghead:

[ElboRuum]

16. Yes, it is a mystery.

"How these people can walk and chew gum at the same time is beyond me."

Are we sure they can? Or are we just assuming here?

[Scooter24]

15. This one sort of pisses me off-

"All Aboard! Everyone hop on the Darwinist holocaust train!

Well the everyone grab your ticket! The dark side is going to make it that every man, woman and child has free health care. It's not exactly the same, but for me it brings back images of the jews being led towards the death showers in Germany."


I don't know whether to just sigh or bang my head against a wall. Such stupidity.
