No, we don't blame you for knowing no god, we blame you for deceiving yourself into thinking otherwise.

Agreed.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Another week, another moron. He's come to fill the gap that Eye of God left after he was banned.

Are you pointing out you to be the cause there?


I see certain instinctive facilities for language that behavioral anthropologists believe to be inborn in human toddlers have yet to develop in you.

I was disappointed when eye of god was banned. I looked forward to the daily comic relief he offered.

I've got the impression atheists not only reject the reality of God, they are busy with oppressing those who do believe too.

Come and see the violence inherent in the system!

Can you have non-belief in a deity if the deity does not exist? I find it kind of weird going around claiming not to believe in something which does not exist.

Calling yourself an a-Potterist doesn't lend any credence to whether Harry Potter actually exists - it only means that some people believe he exists and the a-Potterist doesn't accept that proposition.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.

If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.
