Theists and deists seem fanatically obsessed with the notion that there is a God.
We are merely reacting to them.

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

Look, Science is flawed because it is performed by men. I shouldn't have to expose my children to such things if I choose not to. The Bible has a pretty solid track record, whether you believe it or not.

Some examples for this solid track record please. And quote me a textbook that says science is perfect.

it's like saying humans can never build a flying machine because it's flawed, let's not even try. But look we have planes now. They're flawed. Does that mean we shouldn't acknowledge the things they can do? do you not use soap? modern medicine? or do you pray when you get sick? should your children not have the option of going into the field of medicine if they so wish in the future? Because they won't be able to if they don't learn basic science when they're young, however flawed that is.

I am not bashing Science, just pointing out that to Atheist Science is the Holy of Holies. I like Science a lot, just not Scientism. In fact, I am an Engineering student, which involves a lot of applied Science, and my goal is Medical school. So, you are preaching to the choir. No pun intended lol.

When you say 'running defintion in this thread' you always seem to mean your personal defintion that no one else on the thread agrees with.

I have bronze door handles. I couldn't get in and out of my house without them.

I am referring to the definition that was ascribed to me.

Science is not a religion. You have been brainwashed into believing it is. Also, you seem to only be at odds with Biology and Geology, because it goes against your religious views. As a scientist with an open mind, you follow the facts, which the Bible produces none.

You are applying to med school and you think that evolution says humans will one day be god?

I wish to be free from the presence of religious fuckheads who think their particular invisible man in the sky is real while all the others are false.

I am simply tired of your pious bullshit.

I hear the North Pole is nice this time of year. When are you leaving?

13 pages into this thread, and you still have no idea what atheism is, even after several people have explained it in clear language.

Atheism is the absence of theistic beliefs. Full stop.
Very few atheists claim to know, with absolute certainty, that a god does not exist.

Quote:They desire a world without "religion" where everyone is an Atheist. The governments that were Atheistic always had a godlike figure in the form of a man, such as Mao.

A world without religion would NOT mean that everyone was an atheist.

True, totalitarian Communist governments replaced the bad dogma of an infallible god with the bad dogma an infallible leader (or State).

Quote:Atheists would make good politicians with their ability to deflect almost anything.

No atheist on this thread have deflected anything.

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.
