Arcanus, you make it sound like Atheists have no just reason to be an Atheist. Just becuase someone chooses to make decisions based on fact and reason versus a book written by old men doesnt give them this idea being "stupid" as it we're. A man who can stand up and say "I believe not in god, but in Humankind, Life, Science, and Reason. And although i speak not for the entire Atheist community, i can speak for myself and those who follow the ideas of Life.
Life meaning to live. If "god" wants you to live a life of purity, then why has he created hatrid. And you may say Humans created hatrid. I say why has "god" created humans. If you can answer that question logically i would give you a pat on the back. But there is no answer to that question. Those types of questions are why mankind created religion. Its an excuse. A scapegoat, if you will, that people hide behind. Notice Christians and Atheists have not an answer to the question that plagues our minds. What created the earth and why? The only difference between us is Atheists try to figure out these questions and Christians have an omnipotent "god" to hide behind.
If you win the lottery don't thank "god", ask how the fuck did i end up with the winning odds against the other billions of people.
As you said earlier "(5) for nearly all of those, the Christianity they abandoned was a fundamentalist sort"... Fundamental means - of or relating to essential structure, function, or facts. Christianity is based off of the bible and to Christians the bible relates to essential structure, function, or facts. So in fact the only way to live as a christian would be fundamentally.
Be these facts you live by or ignore they still remain facts made by a Human with the ability to think on his own without the restrictions of a "god" or religion. Hopefully you read this whole thing and do not skim over certain parts and base an arguement on bits and pieces. Because all im searching for is a logical arguement based on facts and not theories. And i do not contradict myself. The Big Bang Theory is just a theory that i will not argue about. A theory is just a useless excuse, nothing more, nothing less. I believe in the human mind no theory can shake that idea.
Yes mistakes we're made in the Post i created. Comment not on them but on the whole idea it stands for.
