I just find declarative threads pointless.  You've found god, and it's totes not a phase guys.  And?  What do you want faceless strangers on an internet forum to do about it?  We're not here to validate you.

Everone, isn't there a peaceful way of discussing our points without McCarthyistic accusations of trolls? What is the point in a flame war?

I'm just pissed he's (now confirmed to be intentionally) misrepresenting lack of faith and equating it with faith. Atheism is not a religious worldview. If religion didn't exist, atheism would be the default and have nothing to do with a religious worldview and no religious person could dispute that. That religion just does happen to exist doesn't change this but they like to make it sound like it does because it makes them think they sound less preposterous.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

Okay, another piece of advice for future endeavors..

You have to dole it out like feed to pigs.  You can't blow the mcarthyist load at the first provocation. The difference between a good troll and an incompetent troll is discipline.
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!

To me at least, i think that religion is a person's view on God. Atheists don't belive in god, that is their view.

Yes, I understand, but you wouldnt call it athiesm then if everyone was athiest then, would you? No, but it exists, because religon exists, it is the lack of belief in a religon, a religous view while not a religon

A page and a half of someone playing dumb when it was clearly explained how they fucked up isn't a good enough indicator? I can usually spot them within a post or two, this was evidence overkill.
