What were you expecting? Don't be so stuck on yourself. I don't live to meet your expectations.

From you, not much, and boy, you sure delivered! Given what you post, I don't think you even try to meet your own expectations.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Sounds like a joke.

A priest says to a parishioner, "Do you have a religious impulse inside you?"

"Why, no father."

"Would you like one?"


Also works with catholic priests and choirboys...

Okay well how about you clarify what you were trying to say, because it wasn't at all obvious.

Translation: I'm not sharp enough to follow, might you help a dumbass out?

Remember that creepy scene in The Omen when Damien's nanny says, "It's all for you!" and then hangs herself in full view of the kid and everyone watching?  That's the same vibe I get from Jesus.

Ideologies. An atheist’s world view can be shaped by an ideology just as much as an Abrahamist’s world view can be shaped by Islam, Judaism, or Christianity.

Except, and I know you've had this explained to you multiple times, atheism is not a worldview.

Atheism is simply, being unconvinced that theists' claims that a god or gods exist, is true.

Or even more simply, you claim a god exists, I ask for demonstrable, falsifiable evidence, and valid and sound logic to support your claim, and if you fail to provide said evidence, I remain unconvinced.

How can that be a worldview? That would like saying that my disbelief in the existence of bigfoot, is a worldview.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Rationalism is definitely a worldview, but…like atheism, not a religion. Offhand, I’d say the most likely avenue for religious ideation in atheists swirls around nature. Not just in the analog sense of wonder- but also in ideas like a natural balance, or a proscribed state of primal nature.
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!
