Quote:I don't believe in Time Lords either, but I love debating the finer points of Doctor Who.Missed the point completely. If you debate something, on some level you acknoweledge it. If you acknoweledge God enough to debate the 'finer points' you are responsiable for the denial of God in your life.
Quote:The point is not that atheists don't believe in a god, as it is that theists do. And there's a lot of theists. And they do things that effect the physical world that we atheists exist in too. So, you know... extant or not, this concept of god does exert a pressure on our lives personally, and our culture in general
Quote:Given the number of ex-christian atheists... yeah, I guess so. But beyond that, what's wrong with wanting a sense of community with those who believe the same as you do?Nothing at all. Just have the marbles to call a spade a spade. If you hate God and those who follow Him then own up to it.

Quote:Damn those atheists, and their... thinking...What if you sought your wife/husband with only your 'Damn thinking?" would you be with the one your with?
God wants to be what the Hearts wants and is waiting down that road. Not the other one.
If God told you to be at the corner of Park and vine at 5pm, and you were at vine and elm at 6:30pm but figured that because you can see park from elm you had your bases covered, could you expect to see God?
No of course not. For even if you had sight of where you were supposed to be you missed the time that you were supposed to be there.
The problem with trying to "Think" your way to God is none of us have that capacity or ablity to obtain that capacity on our own. Knoweledge of God is a gift given to us, so none can boast. God chose the foolish things of this world to confound the 'educated.'

Quote:What atheists hate are people who impose their religion on everyone else. These people try in every way to get creastionism to be taught in science class, want prayers in class or at official ceremony, paint evolution or global warming as hoaxes. In fact, too many are anti-science, and for good reasons, as science has debunked many of their beloved beliefs. So yeah, we are on opposite sides on too many issues, and the theists are losing BIG.
