It seems to me whenever there are debates online or on t.v, there seems to be a habit amongst fundemental religious preachers, to state everything they as fact. I.e this is the way it is because "god says it is" and there is no room for movement.

However at the same time, there are religious people who do believe there is room for interpretation and use religion in a good way. It is their faith that helps them with their lives.

It seems to me in debates, atheists generally view anyone with religious views with the same contempt irrespective of their interpretation of their particularly religion. There seems to be a very slight mockery at the very least, or out right hatefuleness at the most. It seems sometimes Atheist hold their viewpoint, in the same regard as fundamentalists, in that they are 100% right. Could it be that atheism is wrong and religion is right?

None of us can be 100% certain at all. It may just be that we are all wrong, or partially right. Or both sides are partially right. I believe in evolution and science, but I beleive there is no such thing as fact. I believe what is "fact" is only fact until disproved.

So what im asking is, why is it many atheists hold their view to be fact, when in essence atheism in itself is just anothery theory/viewpoint. It may be infallable just like religion may be. I know I may be generalising, but surely others have noticed this too?

So Unicorns & leprechauns are real because we haven't 'disproved' them? Theory and viewpoints are very different, theories are able to be tested, while a viewpoint is a mental position in which things are viewed. Please get it right :p
Have you ever heard of anyone killed in the name of Atheism? Do you see Atheists taking away inalienable rights? Do you see Atheists bashing on gays because their "holy" book says so?

You are complaining about an outright hate towards religion? After all the genocides over differing opinions on what happens after you die? Or how you should live, because a book says so? Why shouldn't we dislike something that takes such a outright hate towards people that doesn't worship your 'god' and follow everything in your bible. Maybe religion would be better if it didn't have hate for everything indifferent. Islam is a theocracy, you see how well that is going? Peace isn't going to be found in the bible, or in god.

Are you seriously comparing us to WestBoro Baptist church?



Are you seriously saying that WestBoro Baptist church is right, and we are wrong?

Religion is like a Penis, you shouldn't whip it out in public and you shouldn't shove it down your child's throat.
