Problems with atheism

[Welsh cake]

You see, this is why I won't retract the previous statement where I called you a poe:

"If ever you get the urge to experience a taste of Hell, I recommend that you join, and actively participate in, an internet forum."

Are you for real? If you honestly hate it here that much, that you would proceed to equate a forum with a religious concept's state/place of great suffering; an unbearable experience, then why don't you just leave dumbass? The rest of us on the other hand actually enjoy spending our free-time here; there are some phenomenally good debaters here who apply reason and critical thinking to various topics. We listen to what people are saying and by doing so we learn from each other and build up a better unbiased picture of reality.

My purpose in wanting to provide alternative, atheist based facilities is specifically not to bolster religion or religiosity, but rather to subvert the need for religious-based structures by replacing them with atheist based ones.

What is wrong the aforementioned secular alternatives? And if you actually want to preserve these historic buildings/structures instead go speak to an architect, renovator or other contractor whose profession is in the heritage trade. Arguing with us is not going to achieve that goal - actually go outside and apply yourself.

The point of atheism is not to "defeat religion", the point of atheism is to refute the concept of a deity.

No. Its not our goal to refute said concepts. Atheism is just the lack of belief in a deity or deities. We can respond to, but don't actually have to refute evidence-free religious claims that haven't demonstrated themselves to be remotely true or met their burden of proof.

Oh yeah, the so-called "global village". Wow, you can TALK to someone in some other part of the world. Big deal. How's that going to help stop your house burning down if it catches fire?

That's the emergency services' job. >.>

I think the OP should change the thread title to:

Problems in my head...

Looking back at his emotional outbursts, I would have to agree with you there.
