    how the hell do you know Bill Gates in an atheist.
    in the past my mom said she saw him in church in rancho sante fe with his wife.

    my mom could be wrong or bill gates could have been just going along with his wife... but how the heck would you know what he believes.

    Plus few intelligent people would really say they know there is no creator of the universe.

    Few people are that emotional.
    Most "atheists" are really agnostic.

    almost by definition if you state you know there is no creator you are not acting intelligent.

    go figure what intelligent person would say they were atheist.

  4. I don't believe in god, leprechauns, elves, unicorns, bigfoot, etc.
    Show me a god, leprechaun, elve, unicorn or bigfoot and I'll reconsider.
    Until then I'll consider your leprechaun theory of creating the universe pure fantasy.

    I've seen this plenty of times. Perhaps you should get out more.

    by traditional definitions that is agnosticism.


    Saying you know the universe was not created is irrational.

    Saying you believe there is a Creator is not irrational.

    From a scientific perspective:

    Saying we do not know whether the universe was created or came about some other way... is the truth.

  7. Oh crap! And here I've been giving to Doctors Without Borders ! Plus I go out of my way to help my old and infirm customers and I do honest work and don't gouge ! And oh shit, I just remembered I gave some food to a food-drive for the poor the other day ! I've been a baaaaaad atheist. :(


    I'm sorry, have I knocked you down from your holier-than-thou high horse?



    BTW....Many, if not most, atheists believe in Jesus. And they don't equate being good with going to church once a week.

  8. Oh not at all. You just show how defensive you guys get when challenged. Giving all them cans of food that has been your cabinets for weeks away. That's so nice. Helping those old people oh man thats great too.

  9. Sorry we get a defensive when "you guys" accuse us of being immoral. We're kind of crazy that way.
