For the past week or so some demented muslim from Yemen has been msging me with all sorts of delusional religious bull****. On Friday instead of replying to his superstitious nonsense I sent him a picture of a huge plate of bacon.
Haven’t heard from him since… ๐
Hmm, from the Oxford English.
Dismiss

You give atheists a bad name.
You are entitled to your own opinions, you aren’t entitled to your own facts. You are effectively pissing away your life with faith that 2000 years ago a bunch of Palestinians knew everything about the universe. Epic fail.
Confrontation results from religious discussions for one simple reason: youโre telling them that their most fundamental beliefs are wrong. But the fact that you are telling believers theyโre wrong isnโt necessarily a bad thing because, in a modern context, being able to voice your opinions and challenge those of the majority is critical. Unfortunately, as a result of cognitive dissonance, the uncomfortable feeling resulting from holding conflicting notions, facts can seem like ridicule when they work against firmly held beliefs. But, if a person gets upset about a statement of fact, then that emotional reaction isnโt your fault…..
Ah, I see, so eye-witness statements, from hundreds of years ago, have to be 100% accurate, but it’s perfectly acceptable to allow for mistakes in eyewitness statements of recent times.
Send 3 & fourpence, we’re going to a dance ๐
RpR and others will correct me if I am wrong but belief is not about scientific proof it’s about faith.
Believers don’t need to prove their faith – they just posses it. So rational attempts to seek proofs are irrelevant.
This argument can never be resolved because the gulf of understanding is too great.
What can be claimed without evidence can be dismissed without evidence ๐
Why is it necessary that you have enemies? I don’t have any nor do any other atheists I know.
Maybe you should read this:
http://www.pitzer.edu/academics/faculty/zuckerman/Zuckerman_on_Atheism.pdf
& yes, it is 23 pages long, but 7 pages of that are references to back up what the author claims. Something the bible sorely lacks & instead contradicts itself on just about every other page. (The 4 completely different fairytales about when jesus’s tomb was found & what was in it etc for instance.)
No more sacrifices or hoops to jump through to avoid damnation, simple faith is all that is needed.
Matthew 10:34-36 – “Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
God is only a title, there can be many gods but there is only one kahuna.
The Christian God is the god of gods.
Bit inconvenient when just about ALL the other religions claim the exact same thing. 1.5-2 billion muslims say you will burn in hell
Christians claim the jews & muslims are wrong.
Jews claim the muslims & christians are wrong
Muslims claim the jews & christians are wrong
Atheists agree with all of them…

The Ten Commandments may have been written for the Jews but aren’t they still in the Christian Bible?
Didn’t you get the memo? They get to pick & choose which parts of the OT & NT they follow. Most of the time you bring up some asshole deal that jebus did & they say “Oh, but that was in the Old Testment”.. Then you point out that he wasn’t in the prequel & they get all confused.
If you would keep up with the program, if there is a god, there are no other older religions, only man made corruptions of the one true faith and god.
Really? Then why would the bible need to state “you will have no other gods before me”? If there were no other gods, there wouldn’t be a need to include that awkward admission…
& the fact that you follow a version of the bible written by an English King who had an incestuous, homosexual relationship with a cousin kinda shoots down any claims your lot come up with regarding morality.
Or you could have said:
No religion is interested in education; they are interested in CONTROL,
Just as we were, in this nation, when witches were burnt at the stake, or drowned; with education, this no longer happens, and it’s to be hoped that other races learn the same message, and quicker than we did, too.
Witchcraft is more superstitious nonsense. They didn’t burn *witches*, they burnt women who were different or didn’t buy into their BS.
And the main tenet of the Christian religion (can’t talk for others, since I’ve never bothered to learn about them) is the Ten Commandments, which tell you to be just that; I do find it rather sad that you don’t want children to be taught that.
Which were stolen from other, older religions…which you’d know from a comparative religion class ๐ & while we’re on the subject, the first 4 or 5 of them just deal with this god thing being a jealous & vindictive jackass & are nothing to do with how you treat other people. You’d also know that 75-80& of the bible is also stolen from those same older/other religions.
If people are going to pick a book to teach morality then maybe pick one that said “oh, btw, owning other people is wrong”. There’s are lots of books written since that have nothing to do with superstitious nonsense & are FAR better for teaching people not to be assholes.
Nice try, stirrer; religions exist, as well, so why shouldn’t children be allowed to know about them?
Absolutely they should, that why they have classes on comparative religions & mythlogy etc. I know religions exist, but for the most part what they worship doesn’t
Wrong, atheism is a disbelief in god, and it’s impossible to disbelieve something until you’re told about it. Everyone is born INNOCENT.
So you’re ok with religious people stealing a childs innocence? & you’re right, we shouldn’t even have a word for people who don’t fall for this superstitious nonsense. We don’t have words to describe people who don’t believe in astrology or alchemy…You really are a nasty piece of work, aren’t you?
& you finish off with ad hominem, you’d fit right into a religion, pick one ๐
Nice try again bunky but refusal to allow speaking of God in the public class room, is teaching atheism.
It is a doctine, a very short one.
The teacher in that case you mentioned is probably going to get her tit in the wringer over that.
Not mentioning god is NOT teaching atheism FFS, Here is it again in bold: Atheism is the default position, EVERYONE is born atheist until adults lie to them
An absence of one thing doesn’t mean it must be something else. An absence of coconuts isn’t a Chevy any more than an absence of trees must mean you are in a desert.
Would it help you if I typed slower or do you have a grown up nearby to explain words to you?
Doctrine (just for you)
1a belief or set of beliefs held and taught by a church, political party, or other group:
One more time: A lack of belief isn’t a belief, unless you think “off” is a television channel & bald is a hair color?
Why stop there? Don’t teach them a foreign language, until they’re old enough to decide if they want to speak to foreigners; don’t teach them science until they can decide if science is for them; don’t let them play sport, until they can choose which sport they want to do; don’t teach history in case they learn how people have killed each other, and might get the idea.
Because people actually speak different languages, science exists as does sport & history..
