Does Atheism make sense?
RE: Does Atheism make sense?
The old "The world would cease to exist without the bible" probably works often amongst the sheep. Not the Harold kind of sheep, mind you: The kind that tend to work best as fleeced critters and sources of mutton.

Of course it does. The influence is overwhelmingly negative. Nothing but con artists selling bullshit to gullible fools....and filling their pockets in the process.

I hope the font is big enough for you.

If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925

Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan

Flakey: "So, answer me just this one question before we continue, Do you truly believe that Christianity has no influence on modern society?"

Regrettably it has way too much influence. It would be fine if you zombies for christ just wanted to live the life the bible tells you to so that you can get your ticket to heaven stamped. But no, you want to make the political and justice system impose that crap on the rest of us too.

When 5000 years of persecution you reach, take shit you will not. Wink


(Completely joking - most of that persecution off and on is because the Jews invented the martyr complex. The Christians only refined it to an annoying art.)

No seriously, I shouldn't have gotten so angry. Trolls will be trolls. But it does piss me off. Unfortunately, fundies, Fox news viewers and YEC's have a habit of completely re-writing history in favor of their God and completely forgetting their origins.

Add to that the fact that they each seem to live in a bubble of sectarian solipsism, and you have a recipe for annoying.
