For what, I wonder?
For some fucking common sense, I hope.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Apparently they should have prayed to the Michelin Man. Might have helped.

I prayed really really hard for six months for god top heal my friend from cancer. After she died, another lady with stage 4 lung cancer began praising god in the church cause he miraculously healed her. To my amazement, there were celebrations and "thank you Jesus's" My prayers had only been heard by the ceiling and just like that, the church had forgotten about Cindy and were so joyous that god came through. What a douche. I heard about atheists being 'miraculously' healed...
I'm sorry for the families that lost their loved ones but it doesn't matter what faith you follow or don't ... bad stuff still is going to happen... and there's no god to watch out for you

This is cruel, but I still laughed uncontrollably!
:'( I'm a bad person.
What falls away is always, and is near.
Also, I am not pretending to be female, this profile picture is my wonderful girlfriend. XD

funny thing is, we have a thread of atheists offering condolences for these Christians that died and I've heard Christians mock the deaths of atheists... douches

Just because they were in a church bus does not mean they were Christians. Lotsa tares in the church I hear.
You must have trouble reading, and I would spell it out for you, but hey when one doesn't understand the written word.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
