    Thread: Do You Ever Miss God?
Post: RE: Do You Ever Miss God?

    Thread: Why Do Atheists Criticize People's Beliefs?
Post: RE: Why Do Atheists Criticize People's Beliefs?

Every religious follower disbelieves in and criticizes every religion besides the one he worships. That's why we have so many religions today. Entrepreneurial people throughout history who broke out o...

    Thread: Tooth Fairy Bullshit
Post: RE: Tooth Fairy Bullshit

If Thor, the Norse God of Thunder, had a bad day he'd likely smash the tooth fairy's teeth out with his mighty hammer. So there's absolutely no comparison between God and the Tooth Fairy. And when I w...

If a god didn't believe in himself, how would that affect his creative powers? And would such a god be considered an atheist?  Or would he perhaps learn from the mechanisms of evolution and adaptatio...

Odin has many names, e.g. the All-Father, the Terrible One, the God of War, God of the Hanged/Dead, the Wise One, and others. He's a pretty moody god and you never know how he'll respond to an unsolic...
