Does Atheism make sense?

[Minimalist]

The U.S is the only one that is majoraty Christian and the world's largest surviving superpower. I wonder why?

Because we're willing to kill motherfuckers who don't like fucking jesus?


And you'd better not let that "superpower" shit go to your head.... we've bankrupted ourselves in the process.

Oh yes. Supremely retarded. Just the fact that he doesn't think India and the Middle East are part of the Asian continent proves that there is nothing this person could possibly say to make an argument that would engage the members of this forum in a discussion beyond pointing out stupid mistakes, and laughing at what he has to say.

Wasteland.

Dear Christian,

I understand that you think your religion the shizzle*, but please watch this video and understand what it says.

You will note that the author of that video is using a different topic (childhood violence instead of status as a superpower and violent television instead of religious faith) but your arguement is false for the same reason as the arguement in the video is false for the reason that the author highlights.

In short, your correlation between the majority religions of the listed nations and their status as a world power have no proven relationship with one another.

Sincerely Yours,
Random Internet Stranger that Thinks Your Religious Beliefs are a Waste of Time

I know the truth hurts and the truth is that the U.S is a Christian Nation . Last time i checked, this is not a spelling contest. If insults is all you have for a reply, then I recommend you go back to grammar school, were child's play is the norm. I do not have intelligent discussions with children.

[Erinome]

That's what they do. They come here with arguments that are baseless, and in this case, incoherent. Then people like myself, and TDOA take time out of our only lives to point out the holes of their arguments, and they just accuse us of insulting them. It never fucking fails.

Spelling always matters if you want people to take you seriously, sir.

Who opened the gates?

Actually, the US is a secular nation and the first amendment prevents the US from establishing ANY religion - christianity or otherwise.

Given this response, you appear to be incapable of any intelligent discussion, let alone one with children and several tiers below our level of discussion. You have provided two posts, neither of which begin a discussion nor catalyze any kind of discussion. You have made statements based off of your erroneous beliefs that you have thus far failed to back up.

You have failed.

If this argument holds any water... China is supposed to be the next superpower....without God!

It actually is a spelling contest.

With no god to worry about, what the fuck else are we going to do? Check your spelling, that's what.

PS you failed.

Superpower- Maybe, but we (America) got that way by blowing people up. How very Christian of us. I remember clearly that verse in the gospels where Jesus said to kill people to gain power.

In War, It is very simple really. They blow us up, or we blow them up. What do you prefer?

[Aegrus]

Wow. So Jiminez thinks that Europe is primarily Christian, that China is a shitty country, and that America is still a superpower?

I'm an American, and I can personally tell you that there are two ways to be a superpower. A- You're economically successful.. B- You're militarily successful.

America goes trillions of dollars further in debt every year, so no, even though we can pay for good lives for now, we aren't actually economically viable long-term. We got a taste of collapse since the recession started, but I dread what's coming if people keep insisting that we're the best country ever without facts or logic to back it up. We're not. We just spend the most money, so we can look like the best for a while.

As for the military bit, we can't even end the war in Iraq. We have a huge and advanced army, but it's not the best. Russia has better tanks. China has more soldiers. We have the best airforce, but so many people in America are idiots like the original poster that we can barely find any people qualified to fly them.

And, as stated, we can't win wars anymore. That's the real test, and we fail over and over again. We have some of the biggest guns, but those don't do us any good because we don't know where to aim them.

News to America: if you want to win a modern war, spend less money on bombers and tanks and more on technology that will actually let us figure out who to shoot at.
