Atheist

"atheism is a fad more than anything"

no, atheism is a lack of belief in god.
and it makes a lot of sense when you open your eyes up.

Bertrand Russell, the brilliant philosopher, mathematician and social critic, should have been included. He was perhaps the greatest populizer and advocate of atheism ever.

Also, Edison didn't prefer being called an atheist.

lol agreed. *pulls out coke* cheers!

Did they have a choice?

American Journal of Pschiatry studies show a much higher suicide and depression rate for the religiously unaffilliated (Atheist), and its passed to the children also. Reasonable explanations are , Atheists believe they came from nothing and are going nowhere, not sure why they exist at all. Christians feel they are created in Gods image, feeling their lives matter, and God has a plan for their lives. Why depress yourself, your children, and threaten their lives by your war with God?.

Where did this anthropomorphic deity you contend created the universe come from. This being is vulnerable to the same critique. If you respond to this question by suggesting, that is begging the question, this deity is eternal, I will respond by asking you why the universe, or existence, cannot be eternal? Why can only a being with human qualities, that the god of Abraham, be eternal?

so?

The gigantic % of early & current scientist (Issak Newton & MANY more) were Christians. Look it up.

"since there is no testable observable evidence that gods exist i do not believe that they do. that's it."

It's in your own point of view as atheist. But how about on the point of the ancient people who witnessed God's existence. How about Adam's, Abraham's, Moses's, etc.? They are obviously competent than you do.

jamr; thank you for the apology it is humbly accepted. i will make my position clear so you will not assume you know what i believe.

since there is no testable observable evidence that gods exist i do not believe that they do. that's it.

the only thing any theists can say that interests me at all is offering such evidence.

"F**k the World, Where all going to Hell.-Chunkybut555."

einstein said: god doesnt play dice with the universe.....before that he die, he begin to bielieve in god....doesnt religious god...god....everything...ich atom, ich molecule,...galxies,,everything is creation

I wish everyone would have a Coke, smile and shut the F**k up. Christians wine about Atheists, atheists wine louder about Christians....blah, blah, blah

"Yes we do our God told us they do not"

I said CREDIBLE evidence. Circular arguments are not credible.
BTW, I have no gods(and don't need any).

Really. He doesn't seem to have a god. But whatever he believes in does a lot more good than what ever you believe in. His beliefs=computers, medicine, all of human progress for the last 5 centuries. Your beliefs=witch burnings, stagnation, corruption, suicide, hostility to reason, hostility to progress, denying physical reality, etc. Furthermore, I don't think you could do serious math or physics, you're too stupid. Just putting the difference between you and "followers" of science into focus.

So, you're saying that we shouldn't be intelligent. And you're saying people should be tested on things that aren't taught in schools: math, physics, biology, english, history, social studies, etc. And that's an affirmation that non-schooled kids are somehow more qualified to do the job? My head hurts from unreason.

"Yes we do our God told us they do not"

haha, so does the god of islam, god of hinduism, etc. each one claims their god is "the only god". so how is your god better than their god?

ercooper " I'd like to see a study of the IQ average between christians and Atheists" IQ tests are generally based on things that are taught in schools. Furthermore, research has shown that having a higher IQ doesnt actually make you better able to do the job once you have been employed. In too many cases persons of high Intellegence are also of low drive. Daniel Goleman shows those factors at work when people of high IQ flounder and those of modest IQ do well. Its only one factor in life

four deuce: glsad to see you are here.

Got any credible evidence that any other gods exist.

Yes we do our God told us they do not

We have the only God that was always described as trancendental. The only one

Our God always told us there was a beginning. Yours told you the universe was eternal. FOOLISH GOD

YOUR GOD said the cell simple FOOLISH GOD

Come to think of it your GOD is usually wrong more times than right.

But you dress her nicely

"God is"

Wrong. God is purple with large tentacles, and he crunches people when they dare to defy him. Don't like that god? Got any credible evidence that any other gods exist?

"Bless me father for I have sinned. I am Italy's premier & wealthiest man, ex-member of the P2 masonic lodge and my criminal charges include bribing policemen & judges, false accounting, tax fraud, illicitly financing political parties, buying property illegally, violating antitrust laws, money laundering. Mafia involvement, perjury & complicity in car bombings."

"Ego te absolvo, Signor Berlusconi, and don't do it again. Please leave your small donation of 20 million euros as agreed."

Two billion Christians in the world - leading religion. Most of whom are Roman Catholic. You give Italy Jesus Christ and you get the RC church. Everything you give Italy gets perverted into a caricature of what you give it. More focus required on RC church and Italian corruption in order to understand the phenomenon better.

Atheist aim to dispute everything a theist believes, but cannot prove their atheist beliefs to anyone that God/god does not exist. Theist have something their belief of a God. Theist can say why has the Bible (if they are Christian) lasted for 3,500 years with 40 different people writing it in 1,600 years worth of time. Atheist use unproven scientific theories and inconclusive evolution to explain the origin of organisms. Their is no such thing as "pure atheism"

We have Seth Green on our Side! I'd like to see a study of the IQ average between christians and Atheists.

I am religious, I believe in Chuck Norris!

metacafe is like a ghost town.

atheism is a fad more than anything, something that intellectuals feel they must be in order to be more credible as an intellectual
