    Atheists
    I believe Atheists are people who are thinkers. They don't accept anything at face value without inquiry, research, knowing the facts. They're scientist who believe in experimentation. No blind obedience, no blind following... They are leaders... Rebels... Che Guevara was an Atheist... Albert Einstein was an Atheist... Bruce Lee was an atheist. These are great leaders who have shown vision and courage by doing what is right... Don't listen to religious people... They're deluded.

    Religion
    Its good to be religious. Religion purifies your body & mind. It is a nourishment for the soul. When you feel the spirit within you, then you can never go astray... You continue to do Lord's work, spreading peace, love and justice. You love your neighbor as yourselves... You give charity... It gives you the inner strength to achieve the impossible... Don't listen to atheists, they don't know what sins they're committing by denying the Spirit.

    Greatest sentence in internet history.

    Atheists like living in reality, the religious can't handle reality so they make up stuff. They're actually scared of reality and that's why they make the fantasies they do so they don't ever have to face it. It works I guess, until you die and find out some other religion was right.

    Athiesm is a religion. It takes quite a bit of faith to believe in nothing.

    If you learn the English language well enough you'll find that your statement makes no sense.

    ncz, Thanks for making my point. the 2b definition would apply here just fine. 2b: firm belief in something for which there is no proof

    If your mind is wide, you will know much about God.
    If your mind is narrow, you will have the knowledge that befits your mind.
    If you have no mind, you will be an atheist.


    Regarding the scientists who are atheists:
    It is very well known that those who study the universe either bow down for God due to the Greatness they see in the Creation or they lose their mind because they cannot comperhend such greatness in their narrow mind.

    So are you going to go as far as saying it takes quite a bit of faith to think fairies and unicorns do not exist?

    My statement is simply that any "belief" takes some element of faith. Athiesm is a belief in its own right. But to believe in nothing would take quite a bit of faith from my perspective.

    atheists are cool just like me....:cool:.

    I am an atheist.

    I believe that even if God exists, none of the religions are going to lead us to him.

    religion actually prevents us from thinking freely.

    it is worse than physical slavery - it is mental slavery....you believe things because somebody told you to.

    if there was any god and wanted to tell us something, he would have come to us and said it.

    god doesn't need prophets, angels, avatars blah blah blah.

    I consider myself agnostic for this reason. I think what you're getting at is certainties. We can't be certain of much, and to be certain of something so controversial and something we know absolutely nothing about is just fail.

    But.. I'd rather be an atheist than religious. Their argument is logical and supreme. I believe in the possibility of their being a higher power (which is why I'm agnostic) but it's my personal opinion which isn't backed by fact at all.

    I know it's semantics, and semantics can get us in trouble, but I consider myself an atheist in the sense of the literal meaning of the word - derived from the attic greek - a-, ἀ- (not, or without), theos, θεός, (deity). I'm simply without a belief in deity. For me, it ends there.

    I love how it takes the religious only 2 posts to essentially claim that believing in fairies and disbeliving in fairies are the same thing. They have been schooled on this point so often I wonder if the only thng that enables them to keep making it is a complete lack of intellectual honesty and integrity.

    the west doesn't have any religious reasons for the war....for it and its allies, the reasons are strategic and political.

    it is Al Qaeda and other Islamic groups which consider it an attack on Islam and are thus involved in the war.

    if it were indeed a Christians vs Muslims war, many other countries would have jumped in by now.

    I do not believe in gods, myths, fairys (no not that kind you silly folks - the ones with wings), or superstitions. I believe in man, however it becomes harder every time I read stupidity... so instead of believing in mankind as a whole, I have hope for those leading the technological revolution that will one day bind man and machine together. Trans-humanism is a good thing... because no religious nutters will ever want to be augmented mentally and physically by our investments in technological advancements and biological understandings. Basically, there are those that are pure technists, where they wish to rely on the machinery built by man, then there are those who believe the future is bound to biology...

    I personally am in the middle ground of that one, as are others, that both, melded together, can bring the best benefits to the human race. Live longer, be stronger, smarter, better, faster, and eventually biologically immortal (no one can truly live forever - but you can be biologically immortal). People often bitch about over-population... but think of it this way... if I can survive without an atmosphere thanks to biological and technological enhancements - why would I stay on Earth? Though many would not want to leave the planet behind, those that refuse the future based on myth, fear, and superstition will most likely be the ones to stay behind.

    Atheis are those people who accept anything after testing on the anvil of logic .yhey are also called thinkers.While Religion purifies your body & mind. It is a nourishment for the soul. When you feel the spirit within you, then you can never go astray.

    It certainly is, a religion based on pride.

    The scriptures are true that say people will be ever increasing in knowledge, yet never coming to the truth. Knowledge puffs up, love builds up. An athiests wants to argue evidence, but they won't find God ever without faith to begin, as it is impossible to please God without faith. Also in the balance is pride, God resists the proud.
