about kids and church lets face it if we didnt allow kids to go to churnch until like other issues they reached an age where they could make important decisions of their own (16 say) rather than be drilled with scared tactucs from birth you would have empty churches in 20 years

Religion / Re: Why Atheism?

something cjjkrenz said i had to reply to" Just being yourself and don't debate about religion is the way to peace the world, not to mock other religion."this doesnt work if the other religion wants to convert or kill you as some extreme religious zealots believe.history has shown over and over and over that religion is NEVER about peace because even if your religions is 100% peace some other religion will call you a heretic and decide you must die because you are wsrong. Why atheism is simply:because it doesnt make claims about unreal things without evidence and claim them as true.and to the person who listed all the "prophets" ...has no one found it odd that as intelligent a species as we are today in 2010 that god has only chosen to communicate with illiterate men (always men),shepards farmers and peasants from 2000 years ago rather than talk to his much improved human species? its stunning how things like yeti,ufo sightings, and other supernatural claims have reduced almost 50 in the last 5 years alone...why?because everybody has a cell phone with a camera.it is no coincidence that as we attained the means to verify supernatural claims people like god became very very silent

Religion / Re: Responses to a few common arguments

well lemme add to what youve said with something not brought up.every claim religion has made and prediction they made has been wrong and all evidence ALL 100% of the last 2000 years favors the fact that there is no biblical god.for example the sun travels around the earth.the earth is flat. disease is caused by sin.surgery is sin.aids is gay punishment (yet lesbians are the lowest risk group).god is prolife (though has no problem killing babies to satisfy his blood lust).the earth is 6000 years old.and when their backs are against the wall their reasoning is nothing short of hilarious (dinosaur bones is gods way of testing our faith is my favorite). religion is now so irrelevent and silly that the ONLY claim they have  left is apromise they cannot even prove real ,and that is life after death.thats the only lure they got left and they cant even be sure about it.church numbers are dwindling checka ny countries census over the last twenty years and the smarter we get a s a species the more distant god will be.though im sure that in 2000 years from now there will still be some people waiting for christ to appear from the clouds ina superman uniform to save us all.....

well how about common sense and the intelligence that you would say your invisible lazy sky man gave us. how about...why judaism?they believe ina loving compassionate god after half their people died in the holocaust.why catholocism?does it make sense to catholic women that their sexual doctrine is decided upon by an 85 year old male virgin in italy? why mormonism?the creaot of their religion spent 4 years in jail for FRAUD before his revelation began...but to accept christianity as a whole you have to accept the following 1)god would rather appear and talk to and show miracle after miracle to shepherds and nomads  in the middle east to a very succeptible people rather than converse with a much more enlightened advanced version of his created race today(hmmm coincidence i think not) 2)that even though it would take the light from your average star 3/4 million years or so to appear in the night sky that the world is only 6000 years old (oh and you better ignore the 10,000 years of recorded sumerian history too) 3)that an all powerful all intelligent creator needs daily constant adulation and praises to fill his fragile ego 4)your god is a sexist pig (where is thou shalt not rape?) who curiously deems it important to not covet what thy neighbour has yet never once mentions how morally wrong slavery is (for the record christ never speaks out againsst slavery either)...i could go on but the amount of stupidity and immoral behavior required to be a christian is just disgusting and islam is no better,and though your parents may not have influenced your beliefs i would argue that georgraphy more than any other factor decides your religion because face it if your were in iran or iraq you would be screaming muslim diatribe at me with a koran in your hand

Religion / Re: Christian Viewpoint 1: Is Everyone Savable?

even weaker is this clap trap"Thus, while I believe that the Bible is an excellent source for teaching us about what God would have us do, I also believe that an appeal to God to learn if we have interpreted his will correctly is beneficial, even necessary. I hope this helps you understand my point of view."first has it not occured to you that someone who created the universe and made everything would not also have the intelligence to have what if anything he wants clearly defined,and if you actually read the bible  you would see that what god would have us do is butcher boy babies at birth, rape women , take slaves, and kill all disobeyers...not a very compelling figure  at all....but some people will believe anything....

the point is im existing now..im enjoying the gift life is...everyone and everyting dies...you may  remain in fear of death if you wish...but why atheism?atheism ahs never lied to me...or made outrageous supernatural claims....atheism will admit when it errs and learn from its mistakes rather than think itself unfallible...atheism is based on fact and proofs not fairy tales....and there are no atheist freedom fighters..no atheist martyrs...no atheist suicide bombers..or riots caused by clashes of atheistic thought.....

this is a great argument in itself showing religion to be false....imagine..children  rather than have fear installed into them constantly in their devloping years...imagine instead if they were not exposed to religion until they reached the age of reasoning say 17/18...and they would look at these silly beliefs and religion would be wonderfully replaced by commmon sense
