Hello. My name is Michael. I am new to the forums, but definately not new to the concept of atheism. I am what you would call a radical atheist. I have not been as antagonistic in the past few years, but that is due to a realization I had come to. I envision a future for man that is greater than any selfish believer's wildest dreams of an afterlife. A future where knowledge, and the pursuit of it, are the cornerstone philosophies of our civilization. As long as religion exists, this simply cannot be, and we are left with a hunter gatherer society intellectually. There are many things we atheists lack that religion has. That is motivation to spread our ideology. Our ideas, however, are much easier to swallow. All we need do is TRULY teach people how to reason, and logic should follow suit. I am eager to get started on the boards, and hope you are all having a great day thus far. Thanks.

I second that, and I think most Christians here would advocate such a position as well. The sooner we all learn to get along regardless of our private beliefs, the better. People need to come to their own decisions about such matters
 Quote:I envision a future for man that is greater than any selfish believer's wildest dreams of an afterlife. Shit....you're as crazy as they are! But welcome anyway. Don't mind me. I tend to be far more pessimistic about the way things are going.
I'm definately not one to accept anyone's beliefs. To 'believe' something or have 'faith' is a mental disorder. Even if billions of people believe something is true, it can still be wrong. I want a world where the notion of a god is completely non existent. I'm something of an idealist, and understand this will never happen. My biggest problem with my fellow atheist is the pessimism and negative thinking/behaving. How are we going to help our friends and family out of their irrational beliefs if we ourselves seem plagued by our disbeleif? Its about setting an example. It is about showing the world how fulfilling it is to be free from religion, not how negative and caloused it appears to leave us.

Your stance is intellectually strangled TD. You think denying something = rationalism. I call that wishful thinking.
I didn't join an atheist message board to mince words with a Christian. I don't feel I need to defend my stance as avidly as you clearly feel the need to defend yours. If you want to talk about Christianity, go to church. I guarantee that there is not a point you can make that I have not heard 100 times. All you christians provide is rhetoric and bullshit, and I came to this forum because I am sick of it. You have every right to be here, and that is great, but I do not have any obligation to talk to you. I find your points short sighted and annoying more than informative. I know you like the exhibition of argument, but I am so tired of talking to Christians. You can sit and rot in your churches for all I care, I'm going to move on, and humanities best and brightest are coming with me!

Indeed, but wouldn't be great if we all tried to suck just a little bit less?
