Quote:To know me is to love me.
Theist are always telling me how we are to all love our fellow man.
Unfortunately, they are saying so at the same time that they are vilifying me and telling me to turn or burn.
Strange love but that is theist for you.
That was the "nail in the coffin" for me. I turned to atheism and found REAL thinking people who couldn't give a toss about what you believed just how your thinking brought you to your conclusions.
It does seem that 'religions' of any stripe are nothing more that an elitist sorority fraternity club where if you babble the right words you can live a shallow life just like them

Sweet tune.
I think this quote expresses our view well.
"Whoever imagines himself a favorite with God,
holds other people in contempt.
Whenever a man believes that he has the exact truth from God,
there is in that man no spirit of compromise.
He has not the modesty born of the imperfections of human nature;
he has the arrogance of theological certainty and the tyranny born of ignorant assurance.
Believing himself to be the slave of God,
he imitates his master,
and of all tyrants,
the worst is a slave in power."
--Robert Ingersoll

Can't argue with your sentiment there mate
