Prayer ... SERIOUSLY?!

Thoughts. Sad how the most important country in the world breeds these tools. From where I sit, its quite disturbing.

Edit: I wonder how much time is wasted in a Christians life praying like this and going to church. Anyone have any idea?

I want to move to a place with more atheist than religious people.

What is the point of praying before eating, at my cousins house for thanksgiving they made a prayer before we ate and i just left into another room and somehow that offended my mom?

They honestly think everybody in the room is christian. It's a good thing they don't know im atheist, i would get sick of hearing their mouth about god.

Most intelligent species on earth but idiots somehow dumb down the rest.

Religion is like a Penis, you shouldn't whip it out in public and you shouldn't shove it down your child's throat.

OF course. Two nuts growing on the same tree.

Better than one lonely and empty bucket in a sandbox.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

I never feel lonely here. There are 10 normal people for every theistic fuck head.


While talking about stupid fucking prayers consider this:

Quote:HAIL to thee, Amun-Ra, Lord of the thrones of the earth, the oldest existence, ancient of heaven, support of all things;
Chief of the gods, lord of truth; father of the gods, maker of men and beasts and herbs; maker of all things above and below;
Deliverer of the sufferer and oppressed, judging the poor;
Lord of wisdom, lord of mercy; most loving, opener of every eye, source of joy, in whose goodness the gods rejoice, thou whose name is hidden.
Thou art the one, maker of all that is, the one; the only one; maker of gods and men; giving food to all.
Hail to thee, thou one with many heads; sleepless when all others sleep, adoration to thee.
Hail to thee from all creatures from every land, from the height of heaven, from the depth of the sea.
The spirits thou hast made extol thee, saying, welcome to thee, father of the fathers of the gods; we worship thy spirit which is in us.

Pretty much the same old shit which later xtians rehashed into their boy. Nothing new under the sun, G-C...of course you think any one who believed in Amun-Ra is a hopeless primitive. Perhaps now you will understand why I think you and the Amun-Ra fan club are both hopeless primitives.

Get with the program son. Your god is as phony as theirs. You are on your own. Man up and deal with it.

I assume you were being ironic when you posted this on a forum dedicated to people who all think exactly like you do, right? :-)

Why do you hate God so much? It just seems absurd to me that you spend so much time and effort hating and arguing against someone you claim to be convinced does not exist. If I were an atheist, I really don’t think I’d spend any time on the issue of God, just like I don’t spend any time arguing against the existence of Santa or the Easter Bunny, and I certainly do not hate them and those who do believe in them. Just doesn’t seem to add up.

Had someone at work today say "Bless you" after I sneezed. Ive been having bad alergy attacks lately..anyone else?

Anyways, me and this guy have known each other over a decade now and he knows Im an atheist and is really cool about it. So I looked at him and said "Well...thanks for the blessing...but I dont think it will help me. The medicine the allergist prescribed me is barely helping as it is."

He said; "Oh yeah..I just remembered right after I said it" referencing my atheism.

I said; "If it cures my allergies then I will be VERY appreciative of it." and got a big smile out of him. I can understand the honest hope in some believers. Those who really want benevolence to spread.


I know it doesnt sound like much..but this is how cool atheists and cool christians interact. In fact religion rarely if ever comes up as a topic between us. I have had some christians say "I will pray for you", but the way they sneer it, it really means "I feel sorry for you."

Dont be an asshole atheist or Christian...be a cool atheist or christian....the world needs more of the cool ones.

*A hint on how to be a cool atheist or christian: Dont wear your beliefs on your shirt sleaves. In other words, walking the walk is more important than talking the talk.

Most Christians (but not all) are arseholes, the homophobia and arrogant know it allism about life and afterlife and how the world came about assures that.

Yes, lets all be "good atheists" and not respond to the unending stream of religious drivel that permeates every corner of our society.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Homophobia? That term makes no sense at all. It's just an invention of the left to demonized people of faith.
