The Unbelievers

So Hannibal is part of your theology? Do you eat liver with fava beans and a nice chianti on the Sabbath.

You are too pathetic.

lol....I suspected you were dense but I am amazed to learn just how dense you actually are......did you really draw from my explanation of moral principles that I am a cannibal or are you simply posing as a simpleton to throw me off my game?......
 
Can't wait to see this. Persisting in delusion is a hindrance to progress. Sure, it may be comforting to convince yourself that you will live in paradise forever and be reunited with your dead relatives, but that does not make it true. There is absolutely no evidence to support the idea of a god or afterlife.

It is no easy task persuading people that there is no god, however. I understand why people choose to believe in god. Life is difficult, lonely, and brief. The idea of there being a greater power that created us for a purpose and watches over us is very appealing.

Nothing you have said about moral principles relates to theology, unless you consider those stories religious.

Since my beliefs harm you in no way, what do you and so many others seem so intent on dismissing what we choose to believe.

If I choose to believe and I find out, when I die, that I am wrong; then I've only wasted my life
BUT
If you choose to not believe and when you die, you find out your wrong; then you're wasted. :)
 
I don't get why non-religious or non believers have to belittle those that do.

I mean, I get why religion should not be a part of government...Theocracies are oppressive, tyrannical governments.

But as far as personal and familial belief....it's none of their business. I believe....I teach my children to believe as my parents taught me. Obviously, that doesn't give me the right to demand compliance from non-believers....but the opposite is true too...don't demand compliance from me.

You aren't going to shame a believer into atheism.

It's part of the "hive mind".
Since they don't want to believe, they don't feel that anyone else should believe either.

I believe in five legged chickens and mermaids made of toffee and fairies who ride on butterflies. And I am more intelligent than you. I am because I say I am and you cant prove me wrong.

Yep....I rest my case... although, five legged chickens sound great....I like dark meat.
 
Low, I can deduce from your posts that you are quite stupid, just as I can deduce the level of a man's faith by their daily works.

Fuck....I might as well take you off IA....

I agree...but by the same token, we shouldn't force our beliefs on those that aren't interested. You know annoying it is when a Jehovah's Witness comes knocking on your door(no offense if you're JW)? Well...that's what we're like when we try to shove our religion down their throats....and especially when we try to set public policy for everyone.

Everyone needs to live and let live and respect one another....even if we don't agree all the time.

HA HA HA HA

Three stories about JW's.

One night, years ago, I was working on my pickup and was covered in oil and grease.
While I'm working, two JW's showed up and wanted to talk to me.
I told them "Sure; but I have to finish fixing the truck and could one of you hold this wrench, from the top, on this bolt, while I crawl underneath and tighten the nut".
They both left. :)

Another time a man and a women showed up at my house and wanted to talk.
I invited them in and during their discussion; then said that no one could be held responsible for a sin, until they knew it was a sin.
I then said I had a question.
"Did this mean that if Hitler never woke up in the middle of the night and questioned whether he was wrong or not; that he wasn't responsible and would go to Heaven?"
They both left. :)

Saved the best for last

I wasn't involved in this one.
Two friends of mine were renting a house, before I knew them, and they used to throw some wild ass parties, on Friday nights.
After one memorial Friday night party; there was a knock on the door, Saturday morning.
One of the guys opened the door, BUCK NACKED.
Both of the JWs left and never came back.

/boggle.....have you decided to debate out in left field?....I'm no longer sure what you are actually discussing.....let me refresh your memory.....you attacked Christianity as a source of moral standards, I showed you to be a total idiot.....no, can you get back on track?.....

actually I am laughing at you for spending so much time, and energy, berating something you don't believe in.

Wahhh! Atheists state their beliefs firmly in a public forum and you call it berating. Meanwhile, theists knock on other peoples doors, yell obscenities at the grieving and frequently tell non believers they are evil and wish hell upon them.

You guys are bunch of thin skinned pansies. It's not "berating" that is bothering you, it's that you are being challenged. Get used to it dinosaur.
