1. Is there an organized group of atheists that has a global presence?
2. For what reason do you go about and try to disprove the beliefs of the theists?
3. Isn't the belief/knowledge that there is without a doubt no God/gods also faith based? ( I don't just mean the Christian God, but the existence of higher beings in general, and please don't bring up the stupid flying spaghetti monster argument).
Christians:
1. How can there be a God who knows everything, loves everyone, and is all powerful yet still allows people to hell.
2. If any of the three descriptions of God I mentioned are false, can you give me Biblical references?
3. Are there any new testament Biblical references that are anti-gay besides the ones found in Paul's letters?
Actual attempts at answers instead of the stereotypical back and forth bickering please and thank you.
1. Atheist Alliance International
2. We cant end religion globally anymore than Muslims or Christians can take over the world. But once you know the earth is not flat and the moon is not made of cheese, I think it is important to face others with that reality. And, religion is inherently tribal and does have global impact on politics, so since religious people vote, and or run countries, I'd be stupid not to keep an eye on all of it.
3. No, atheist is not anti-glass just an empty glass. Do you need "faith" to reject claims of unicorns or snarfwigets?
