No problems with atheism then...

[Godnose]

If an atheist sees a problem with atheism, that is the fault of the atheist, not atheism itself. Seeing how atheism is simply a lack of belief, it cannot provide emotional or spiritual support nor should we force it to. As stated before, atheism is only one tiny part of a person's beliefs, and trying to organize it as a cohesive community distorts its meaning. To me, organizing atheists is like organizing people with brown hair. One common little attribute is not worthy of an organization.

So you don't support the idea of secular society then? You are perfectly happy to have laws that are framed on the basis of religious beliefs of others, and so on? Good for you, but I'm not, and I think loads of other atheists aren't either - and that makes it political, and that requires organising. But that's OK, you are entitled to keep your head firmly planted in the sand if that's what you want to do.

Now, either get on and follow the thread I've tried to set up, or I'm getting out of here, because frankly I've got better things to do than arse about with a bunch of egotistical burks who are only intent upon puffing themselves up and pretending to be something they are not.

That makes me wish people would stop posting in your thread. Your attitude sucks. Pretty odd approach for a "new" guy.

If people want to post to this thread only in order to disrupt it then I'd prefer them not to post here. I'm more interested in having a positive and constructive discussion with a few rather than loads of fractious nonsense from many.
