I don't know about that ****.

But as far as pushing a belief, at least Christians claim there's something to lose if you don't convert to their way of thinking. What of atheists? Seems like nothing more than purely wanting to be a pain in the ass.

They're trying to save people from Heaven.

huh?

I still contend "atheism" isn't actually a belief. Its a refusal to deny the obvious.

...see non-astrologers, non-alchemists, non-hindus, non-pagans, non-christians, etc.

THIS is an exerpt that was taken from your post from a thread titled "Hank Jr compares Obama to Hilter" wayyy back on 10/05/2011.

"I see most of what I said flew over your thick skull. I'll make it real easy for you.

1) The point was that if a young, regular dude like myself was able to meet numerous musicians that displayed more instrumental talent than your rhinestone god ever has (on multiple occasions, nonetheless), then it might be a good indicator that Junior's not all you're making him out to be."

I guess Forrest was right, "Stupid is as Stupid does" ....Dude.

That neither says enough about my age in comparison to yours nor does it justify your playing of the age card.

Still arrogant and stupid.

Also, that's a lot of trouble to go through. Take a deep breath and relax, brosephina.

You believe that God doesn't exist. It's impossible to know one way or the other.

A non-belief is a belief?

Since you don't believe in any of the Greek Mythology Gods, what special name should we give that non-belief, belief?

:crazy:

Actually, isn't a non-belief a belief in it's own way? You believe there isn't a higher power. I'm not trying to get into a 15 page debate, just asking.

Well, they turn a non-belief into a belief. They don't say, "I don't believe in God" they say, "There is no God." Which is a statement that requires an element of faith. That element of faith inspires them to act accordingly...for instance they go way the **** out of their way to try to sabotage Christmas.

It's much more than just a non-belief for many. Non-believers are called "agnostics". Atheism appears to require more than just non-belief.

You're equating atheism only with a non-belief in the Christian God. An atheist believes there is no higher power of any kind. You don't need different words for non-belief in various deities.

I just got a call from Chris Hitchens. He said he was wrong... that there IS an afterlife.

It's a giant Starbucks and only atheists are allowed.

That makes Christians worse, in my opinion.

If Christians feel strongly enough about it that they want to convert or push their beliefs on others - it is quite possible they feel they are doing good by saving people from going to hell.

What are atheists trying to help christians by telling them they are full of ****? What are the atheists hoping to accomplish? It appears they are just trying to be jackasses. Whereas Christians can at least give the impression they're trying to help.

It is quite possible that atheists are helping Christians to stop wasting their time, resources, efforts, and happiness on children's stories.
