Yeah, killing people who disagree always makes sense.

These wackadoodles exist. Theocracy Watch I think you overstate their threat, though. They would need to pass a number of constitutional amendments to come close to accomplishing their goals and that simply isn't going to happen. The bar to pass an amendment is high enough that nothing controversial will get through. The biggest thing we have to worry about is some weakening of church-state separation as a result of a Republican President replacing liberal judges with conservative ones.

Just send the national guard and out law all religions and when they want to be martyrs and die for their faith, just shoot them in public and rape the christian girls because i hate how they act all righteous but deep down they are just as shitty as everyone else in this world.

i think as atheists what we need to do is stop laying low and remaining silent, and band together and take a stand. make christians want to kill themselves, or leave the country. and dont even get me started on christians in america who think they are being persecuted, they wouldn't last 5 seconds in the middle east. we need to start showing them what real persecution is, and see which of them actually have the balls to stand behind what they believe when they have a gun to their heads.

this would be an interesting experiment because i wonder after every theist on the world dies, and only atheists have children, could new religions and gods be formed in the future? or would science and reason rule forever onward? im thinking maybe if people lied and still believed in god but said they didn't so they could live as parasites. but i wonder if making up god is a natural way to cope, since there's so many religions spread around the world, maybe people instinctively seek a higher power when they feel scared. do you think animals look to a higher power when they are scared?

I think religion is stupid and people that believe in it have some stupidity in them. However, I actually have family that I care a great deal about that are in fact Christians.

With that said, if you are serious about doing such evil deeds to them my suggestion is that you leave here and find a hate group to fester in.

You should probably get help for your anger issues.

Why do you think Christians should be driven to suicide?

Religion isn't gonna die out in humans, dogs think their master is The Higher Power, and I don't like the idea of experiments which would kill billions of folk.

Hope you get to feeling better.

The tolerance for stupidity here is very low. Don't like it? Life's tough. Get a helmet and shut the fuck up.

I know! I haven't gotten a chance to lynch a single theist since mafia started T_T

Make them want to kill themselves?

Err, no thanks.

Welcome aboard, I'm glad you've calmed down. I share your frustration and loathing towards the harm religion is doing, and I want to see that harm totally stopped. Violence is certainly not the solution, spreading critical thinking and education will be far more effective and humane. It's already happening, each new generation is getting less and less religious it seems. The atheist numbers are growing, and that's just for those who openly identify as atheist. It doesn't count all those "just agnostic" people who don't know what atheist actually means, or don't feel comfortable with the label.

We're each doing what we can, we're hearing supporting fellow atheists and trying to spread the message. Theists often connect atheism to fascist dictators without any help; let's not give them a real reason to do so.

Now we have extremists?  Atheistic extremist's terrorism ... Really?  

 
 
It's not a religion ... it's a way of life.     I swear.  

I used to be a Christian and would visit religious forums. Occasionally, I would come across an atheist poster and my responses to them probably made it appear that I never read what they wrote, but I did. When I started doubting my faith, some of those answers came back to me and helped me in my deconversion process.

Why did I believe? I would imagine coming from an abusive home where I had to obey without question made me more likely to be attracted to a religion with a control freak for a deity. All my life I had been told, I was dumb, ugly or stupid and that is how I viewed myself. It made me feel good that some god bigger than myself loved me even if I had to give up who I was for that love. Other religious people believe because they too have some sort of vulnerability or weakness that religion sooths. Instead of hating them, why not pity them?

So is Yoplait a kind of yoghurt or what? Or the thing you eat your dinner off?
