Social Approval or Principles?

[Bad Writer]

...I don't think many people on this forum care about the principle of atheism, which is rationality, if they can't apply that rationality to other areas. It shows they don't get something fundamental, and/or don't want to.

Statetheists is a better word.

This just got to another level of crazy. First of all, who ever said anything about atheism having any kind of principles? Not a single one of us except for you, Koolaid. Every atheist is defined by one all-encompassing fact; we don't believe in deities. Whether or not this disbelief is based in rationale is up to the individual.

For instance, you could take a look at how I eat my food, and you could come up with a number of ways why I'm not doing so in a logical, consistent manner. The way I interact with my family may be derived from emotions, not just rationality. Yet I'm still an atheist.

The difference between believing in gods and believing in government is that only one of these things is real and needs to be addressed. As we've said before, if you're unhappy with government, then all you need to do is go live in woods away from it all, or rise up against it for a reform or revolution. Government is worth talking about and fixing: not god. If you think we don't speak out against injustices doled out by the government to its citizens, then think again.
