Quote:When did I ever use the word "evil"? You used it. Why?Doesn't matter if you used the word, you're coming across that seems to suggest that there's something wrong with atheists in general. I want an explanation or do I need to quote you?
Quote:Right. You can't tell what someone believes unless they tell you, but if they tell you they're an atheist, it's off-putting, at least where I'm living. Even in England, heck even in Sweden, if I were applying for a job, I don't think I'd want to say I was an atheist.Shows how much you know...nothing.
I've lived in England my entire life, and coming out as an atheist has never done me misfortune. You know why? Because it's a very secular society. Even people who do believe don't care that I'm an atheist. This isn't the states, mate. Also it's best not to come out as an atheist in SWEDEN!? You are talking complete bollocks, mate! I plan to move over there some day. I've done a lot of research into Sweden and nothing you've said makes any sense. In fact being a believer (especially a creationist) is a bad thing over there. You're less likely to be given a good job. What part of 85% non-religious didn't you get? The US has a problem with religious intolerance, not us nor Sweden. I don't believe a single word you've said.

Those many countries must be communistic then, dictatorship. I don't know of any FREE western nation that would lock up people for fucking pictures of themselves on a forum as an avatar.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
