    Christian Atheists
    These are the ones who fooled themselves...

    "Belief in God is stupid, illogical & insane" They shout. United. Not a bad beginning.

    Atheism is becoming a religion. They are uniting against religions, all of them. Wishing to get it abolished, to rebuild the twin towers, undo the crusades. Fuck them right? It's their freedoms, they can do whatever the fuck they want with them. It's hypocrisy. Hating on people for their religious choices. What do you think the crusades were? Every religious movement seems to have their own holier than thou spiel.

    If religions cannot live together, then having only one that remains once all the others have been exterminated would be a logical end point. But how do we choose which religion should be around at the end? How many people would give their lives trying to get there? Is Atheism a logical religion for the entire world population? Would the realization of having to make a better world for yourself now as opposed to the after-life have a positive influence upon society when this will would inspire crime within less fortunate people?

    My problem with atheists is so; my understanding is that atheism just means not believing in a God. This doesn't mean no religious thoughts or feelings, no spirituality and definitely does not mean common moral code. One atheist can think he is justified in killing another person because his feet were too big. It just didn't fit with his image of the world, so he fixed it up. The guy with the shoes too big may have also been an atheist, out to buy a pack of smokes.

    If you want to create an atheist, hating Christian religion. Then do that (Maybe you're an anti-theist), but let an atheist mean someone who doesn't believe in God. And leave it at that.

    To address the whole morality bullshit, people make up their own minds unless they're told and taught how and what to think. In our society, we are told exactly what to think and more often than not how to go about thinking it. For us to think as individuals, as people, that just because we are slightly aware of the shit we are being fed, we're somehow not going to get diseases from it. Our idea of morality is a predominately Christian one because we live in a Christian world. Christians have fallen a long way from what the bible says they ought to be, and we as a society are living on those ethical standards. For example: there are still debates over the validity of challenging God's will in genetics.

    (Apologies for the indecent lexical choices; I'm just an animal, I get angry sometimes).

    "Logic and reason aren't enough: You also have to be a dick to everyone who doesn't think like you."

    I'd say I'm agnostic, but I disagree with religions (see Christianity) that say people who hail to a different religion are just outright wrong without even trying to understand any aspects of it.

    There are many religions that predate Christianity by thousands of years that tend to share the idea that provided you believe in a higher being or god then it's all good.

    & anyone who denies the existence of dinosaur bones is pretty much a waste of resources.

    Religious debates will exist as long as man does and who's to say who is right or wrong? I can't even define right and wrong in these instances.
