the difference

lol'd

Atheists make a point why God is not worth being worshiped, peoples logic is to blame atheists for spreading atheism... what?

This is going nowhere, But just for the Christians... no atheist is going to be mad that you say atheists spread atheism, it's not an insult and far from an argument even if it was.

you: Jee, I hate when people shove their beliefs down my throat.., totally okay when atheist do it though.
Double standards all the way!

Gregor Mendel was a Catholic monk. Religion =/= disbelief in science. Get your facts together.

When have I ever said I didn't want to discuss religion, I just don't believe in anything beyond reason and science, demanding proof for peoples bullshit when they make a claim is somehow wrong or what?

For me nothing is taboo, and you can discuss whatever you want.

Ex, I really love biology and the theory of evolution, if someone demands proof of evolution or says it's incorrect, I will gladly debate it and show all the evidence.

I'm not going to church telling peoples they are wasting their life, nor do I go to hospitals telling people heaven is a lie made to control their lives.

But when people ask me to respect, subsidies and let their religion grow through indoctrination... And then cry foul when completely simple evidence and accountability is requested, it's annoying.

I really don't give a damn about what you believe in, just keep it to yourself. Oh, you can read my comment to anonymous just below. I hate copy-paste.

This is completely a strawman argument. See you're wrong because you assume every atheist has a problem with religion because they "shove it down people's throats." I for example have an issue with the beliefs themselves and the whole idea behind faith. Not because someone is shoving down my throat (which is happening, but I can ignore it)

I don't remember saying every atheist is a douchebag. On the contrary, I met many intelligent people with different beliefs (or lack of them). If you didn't notice, I was answering freddyhollensen. And I was talking about FJ, because, honestly, I see a anti-religious post making front page every day. Imagine, the other week, there was a post that had a picture of bible with caption "Bullshit". Made front page. How?

You really think people would call the bible bullshit if you treated it as what it really is, tales and stories of your ancestors.

I'm from Scandinavia, and I'm an atheist... We show great respect for nordic mythology, because we know that is what it is, it's what mountain/sea/woodland tribes thought back in ancient times, as is the case with your bible and desert tribes.

FYI, my girlfriend is catholic, and (not related) I also like going to church, because it's part of history here in Denmark, and it's a nice culture.

Atheists are not really making fun of the bible, they are making fun of you and what you take it for, sorry. You maybe ought to ask yourself if it is deserved rather than instantaneously playing a victim role.

But when you join the real world, you'll realize there is no magic books nor spells that can help you through life just by folding your hands and making a few chants. For me this doesn't really matter, I don't know you in real life, but I am sincere and completely convinced that if you started thinking more critically about religion, you would not regret it... Ask yourself, what's the worst that can happen, you learn the truth?

I asked to keep your beliefs to yourself. And there you go, describing me your life in details.
Dude, really, debates on the Internet are a waste of time, you'll get it eventually.

If religious people could keep their religion to themselves, there probably wouldn't even be a word for atheist...

Whatever you say hon.

You specifically said "you" meaning you were solely talking about freddyhollensen, then you follow it up by putting words in his mouth. You accused him of disliking when religious people shove their beliefs down his throat, but were okay with atheists doing it to other people. All of it was completely irrelevant to his comment.

If you meant something else then you should learn to actually word it correctly

the problem is everyone just does it anyway

I'm not even mad anymore.

Make a post saying I hate religion-discussions at FJ. Start one of them. I'm such a prick.

Just one more thing they have in common.

Hate religion all you want, but you shouldn't ignore the fact that donations from church's towards charities, and charitable churches, play a large role in helping people, especially in disaster relief. That has nothing to do whether or not a god is cruel.

well then why not just donate to THOSE causes instead of the church only trickling a tiny amount of it there by the end... fucking retard

your distorted gif shows your affiliation with satan

You're missing the point. Many churches help people with the donations they receive through church funded and run organizations and themselves, whether that be through The Salvation Army or something else.

Many churches use money to keep themselves afloat and to help those in need. For instance, many more dollars were given to the Japanese tsunami relief through churches than individual charity.

Not all adhere to that, mind you, but many.

Thank you. As I was about to eat some fucking delicious noodles I scrolled through this comment section filled with verbal diarrhea and it made me almost threw up. Then I saw your comments and it saved my appetite.

No Sir, it is you that missed the point... which is why give money to people who are "saving your soul" when beliefs are free, they are taking the money to what? build large buildings to a god that even in their scriptures is against those exact buildings... to feed and house their ministers who are making a living out of a hobby, you do not get payed to share what you love and force an opinion on someone you still have to contribute to society... they do more to maintain their wealth and hold than they do charities when you can spend that money directly on those causes to help humanity than stuffing the pockets of an >organisation<... they are wealthy enough to keep themselves going with businesses. The fact I had to actually explain all of this to you makes me want to weep for your ignorance.

You've explained the same thing over and over. The fact is, people are selfish assholes, and churches motivate the sheep to be charitable. But yes, drive them to nonexistence and see how many of the typical apathetic American sheeple give two shits.

Being devil's advocate, yes, but it's sometimes necessary on this site that's full of pseudo-intellectuals that boast their intelligence and accuse those of ignorance on the sole premise of them being an atheist or against religion, which is insolently foolish.

"Not feeding the church" will accomplish nothing well. Even if they were gone, we'd replace them with something else that would be equally stupid.

Jesus, can you really be any more biggoted

I don't really think I've expressed much prejudice or hatred towards any specific group of people at all. Seems somewhat hypocritical.


Although towards the whole human race? Perhaps.

I wonder why people donate to a charity if a church asks for a donation, but donating to that charity itself is too hard for them.

That's funny. I recall learning about the Holocaust in History classes, and one of the tests was on religion in the Nazi party. the National Socialist Party disassembled ALL organized religion, including Christianity. Hitler played the religious person until he was in power. Afterward, Hitler even persecuted people preaching the "love thy neighbor" message of the Bible, because it was dissuading people from following Him. He closed seminaries, and sought to make people worship HIM instead of God.

Yes I'm sure that's why "GOD WITH US" was on the belts of every German soldier

Again, to get the religious folk on his side. To make them believe he was doing god's work, so he could gain more followers.

Also why he believes he's doing god's work in mein kampf and references god many times? Still doesn't change that Matthew 23:35 is one of the main reasons jews were hated.

Mein Kampf was the main form of publicity... it was published about 20 years before the Holocaust began, give or take a few years. Volume 1 was published in 1925. This was the main literature that got Hilter his following.

That will be death using solids. That's 3 of the 4 states of matter. What happens when We kill millions with the last state of matter?

Captain planet arrives?

fusion bombs. fusion bombs everywhere

Yes, warn them, knowing full well none would listen.
