It was a little harsh, yes.
But there is an “us”, atheist is a category that puts all of the people who don’t “believe” together, it’s a classification to organize and sometimes stereotype people.
And if they say you’re going to burn in hell and be raped by giant tentacles of doom for the rest of eternity it shouldn’t bother you since you don’t believe in it right?

3:34 is the most truthful thing ever for this thread.
Yeah I think there should be a law that only allows decisions based on a professional opinion instead of a religious one in politics.
But can I get a serious response please? :3
Believe it or not, that IS my serious response. I don’t really give a flying rat’s rear if they believe the silliest things. It’s that those “silliest things” carry over into laws that are used to oppress people or deny others their rights.
THAT is where my issue comes in.
Otherwise, believe that Summer Glau is a Black Mesa developer for all I care. I’ll just snicker and move on.
Inversely, it’s a question you should ask the religious, too. “If atheists do not believe in God, it shouldn’t bother you because you believe in God, right?”
But doesn’t their (some) religion say that our souls are in danger of eternal punishment? I guess that bothers them and that’s why they feel they should tell us.
And there we go. That’s where the problem comes in. Their religion teaches them that they’re superior and that only by “educating” the “stupid” people can they be saved from eternal punishment.
Well, I’m sorry, but I do have news for them: “WE ALREADY KNOW WHAT YOUR RELIGION SAYS!” If you haven’t convinced us atheists by now, you aren’t going to with another 2,000 years of proselytizing.
Why do you think atheists don’t say anything about Jains, Sikhs, Zoroastrians, Shintos, Buddhists, and many of the other religions? It’s the proselytizing.
Now that we’re starting to get Muslims that are proselytizing, atheists are starting to go after them, too.
I don’t see any atheist saying that ALL religious people are “atheist hating nutters”.
I was not saying Soup was 12, just under the age of 40, nor was I saying all christians are insane. I am however saying that there are enough christians in the world who dislike atheists because of radicals that hate religion that normal atheists need to shut them up. I have not accused anyone of being insane.
Why is PI equal to 3.14159265…?
Why is PI equal to 3.14159265…?
Because it relies on Euclidean geometry. 
That’s a question for a mathematician, not an atheist.
But in answer to your question, the fundemental laws of the universe and thier specific measurements in relation to eachother were formed by the massive quantum fluctuations that were occuring during the GUT era of the hyperinflationary period. This is when the first elementary particles and thier associated forces were first “calibrated” to thier specific variables.
Almost certainly in another universe pi is some other number related to laws that govern said universe.
Hmm. I see valid points in both the Athiest and Christian/(insertotherreligionshere) arguments. But you see, I don’t give shits. This is why I’m agnostic. It doesnt tie you to anything at all.
Actually, not really. The only time I see Muslims proselytizing is when they are giving a sermon or talk where most of the audience is Muslim anyway. And you won’t see people from your local mosque door knocking in your neighborhood too.
Actually, I’m an agnostic and an atheist. I don’t know and I don’t believe.
Like I said, it’s just beginning. I used to frequent the alt.atheism newsgroup and we’ve had Muslims from time to time come to try to espouse the “wonders” of Islam. I think it’ll be at least a couple generations before you have “Have you heard the Good News about Allah?” :fffuuu:
Nah, Islam is growing pretty rapidly without any proselytizing. You get people coming over from all sorts of ways of life, just from researching it or listening in on sermons.
Perhaps, but then again, that’s what happened with Christianity, too. And there are still people knocking on doors espousing the wonders of the all-powerful abusive spouse.
You’re over analyzing this way too much. Don’t twist my words, read the post.
I did read your words. And came to that conclusion. Please tell me where I’m wrong.
Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
