  2. You should know by now that atheists live to make stuff up to support their beliefs. :)

  3. I read the article and it did a very good job of telling me everything atheism isn't. Other than that it told me nothing at all.

  4. The common mistake of both is to automatically associate religion with God. :D

    However, they both have their beliefs.

    One believes in a God.
    The other believes there is no God.

    But one has......BINGO Night!!! :D

  7. Great! You and your crew keep telling us what your not, what atheism isn't, so what is it? This is starting to read like one of those to good to be true classified ads. They go to great lengths telling you everything you won't have to do, but never really tell you what you will be doing. Usually ends up to be some type of sales job, which is what you're doing here. Selling! The harder you try to spin the tale, the more you show what hardcore believers you are in your idealogy.

    Do you say there is no God.

  9. Any thread with the word religion or God in it, the athesits feel the need to post.maybe they feel left out, lonely,no purpose in life.


    At any rate, one thing I know for sure, atheists don't tithe every week. bunch of cheap mofo's.

  10. We Have A Responsibility…as unbelievers, we have a responsibility to the future of our species to do whatever we can to disseminate the science and eliminate the myth.
