    Hi Guys,
    I am very pleased and happy heart, when I come back like a baby, the baby has a special place in the side of God, the baby always has a clean heart and soul and away from sin.
    Babies are not atheists, atheism is set on when the baby has grown up, use common mind so it can determine the choice of life, will follow the rules of God? whether you are obedient to God or not? or declare God does not exist! He wants to be free without thinking of any book of religious beliefs.

    Yet when God sends them diseases or starves them to death he then tortures them in Limbo till the end of times. But he loves them anyway..

    Religion is an invention. It helps weak people to go ahead in life, it's a moral support. Do you see any babies on a rug positioned to the direction of Mecca saying "Allah akbar"? Do you see any babies going to a church parloir and say "father, I have sinned" ? NO, no, and no.
    Later in their days, they will, or not, enjoy or not, those invention: TV, religion, internet, math, etc...but they are not born with them.

    Not knowing something is not the same as not believing in something...

    But not knowing something is the same as not having a belief in it.

    Technically, though i'd suppose it would need to be capable of sentient thought. When i said "everything" i was referring to animals rather than inanimate objects like rocks and kitchen utensils, but then you knew that and have just pretended not to grasp this simple concept as an attempt at forming an argument against something (it didn't work by the way, it just made you look a bit slow).

    The word "atheist" literally means (a)without (theist) believer in god. So, like i said, every position besides the assertion that a god does exist is an atheist position. It includes people who state categorically that there isn't a god, it includes people who don't know, it includes people who haven't thought about it. Atheism encompasses everybody besides those who hold the position that a god does exist.

    another way to look at this is:

    1. babies cannot possibly be religious.
    2. atheism is a religion.
    3. therefore, babies are not atheists.

    Gerinja, do you enjoy looking at turds of weird shapes and making pictures of them? If no, can I say that not making pictures of turds that have weird shapes is hobby of yours? Think before you post next time, just an advise.

    You are both right. Belief or unbelief requires a decision and babies, tables, spoons and fork can't make one whether alone or with the help of parents, etc. They're babies, right?

    It's what everyone gets when they think of God as a person because in this way the tendency is to attribute to God human qualities like everyone has with all the failure in decision-making. It's probably fair to say that God, if there's one like everybody else is talking about, isn't human. And so he (she, it, they) shouldn't be treated like one.

    1. "babies cannot possibly be religious". It's like saying they can't pour milk into their bottles by themselves. They can't do it, can they?2. "atheism is a religion". Is it? So then, theists and atheists are one and the same? What's the point of these posts?3. "therefore, babies are not atheists". They are neutral having no minds of their own, neither theists or atheists, or else we could send them to school the minute they are born to learn about God or lack of it.

    The inventors of TV, books, internet, etc get your money. But the inventors of religion (and there are many) get your obedience, because you are afraid of their doctrines of eternal damnation, they get your peace of mind, they get your health, and they get your money..

    my point is that atheism is a religion, a religion of self worship practiced by silly people.

    and there goes the keyboard warrior making blanket assumptions to people he doesn't even know. That kind of statement coming from a Christian shows your hypocrisy.

    I know a Troll when I see one.
