A Quote For Atheist to consider :

[GodIsRealOrNothingMakesSince]

I know this has probably been handled in the eight pages I couldn't bring myself to read, but I can't fucking handle blatant disregard for spelling and punctuation use. There is a reason why you're and your are spelled differently. You're is a contraction of you are. Your signifies another person's possession of a thing, be it material or intangible. Grammar is not grammer. Since is not sense. Speech and writing are two different animals. Sure, we can figure out what you mean in context, but it makes me have to pause for a fraction of a second and mentally replace what you have written with the correct word. I typically don't mind this as an accidental mistake pops out of everyone's keyboard every now and then, but you seem to be deliberately typing every common spelling mistake there is. It's annoying to read your posts because of it. If you were a genuinely interested participant in this conversation, I would read over those mistakes without complaint. Fuck, I know some very intelligent people who can't spell worth a damn, but some suspicious part of me thinks that is part of your act, so I tire of seeing your mistakes.

Now that I have that off my chest, your quote is akin to seeing a "This is your brain on drugs" campaign. It's been said ... enough. We have all seen it. We have all dismissed it and you are acting like we should see it as some stroke of genius. As if this played out fucking quote is going to stump the idiotic atheist masses. It isn't. It is demonstrative of the general lack of interest among Christians regarding what atheism is and isn't. You want to attribute beliefs to atheism, which has nothing to do with belief in anything, even science.

Chew on this, if you want to quote sling, "An atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An atheist believes that deed must
be done instead of prayer said. An atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanished, war eliminated." ~ Madalyn Murray O'Hair

You know, I had a situation this week that has required me to seek help for a displaced family. I posted everywhere looking for help, but came in here only looking for instructions on how to get a donate button on my facebook profile. Without my even asking, I had several atheists from here and elsewhere (writer friends) help me out. One or two Christians, one a homosexual family member, helped me out. So, I wound up getting help for these people from an exponentially higher number of atheists, agnostics and homosexuals than I did from Christians. (Not to knock Christians that helped, because they are awesome too. I'm just making a point.) You know what most Christians offered them? Prayers. Atheists who couldn't help didn't bother to patronize. They gave us condolences and encouraging words, which is also greatly appreciated. Fuck, I even appreciate prayers. My point is, I don't give a shit if atheists really did believe nothing came from nothing and blah, blah, blah. In my experience, Christianity leads people to think that god is going to work things out, medicine doesn't matter because it is up to god, things we do here don't matter because Heaven is the real goal, etc. I think this really clouds (some) Christians' judgment. I honestly think that for every Christian there is praying on this Earth, there is an atheist somewhere helping a stranger with something more tangible than an request of the air around them. /rant

I totally disagree. Christians are actually called to serve people in anyways possible in the word. We are actually required to serve others as much as we possible can and even take the very cloths off our back and give it to others if they need it. Christians are called to a very high standard of service to all people. There are some lazy christians as there are I'm sure lazy atheist but they are not in the right when they don't serve. Thats their personal problem. Don't let bad christians give you a bad outlook of the entire people and religion just as I'm sure you wouldn't want me to make and opinion of atheist as a whole based on a few bad atheist.
