Serious Problems with Atheism

There's a serious problem with a large number of the theists we get here...

They can't seem to stand people disagreeing with them. It's just outrageous that anyone could consider it.

IT isn't that we are disagreeing with THEM.  It's that we are rejecting their bullshit god and those are fighting words..... which is the single biggest problem will all fucking religions.

There is a lot of good in peaceful faith. The only problem is that successful life of a believer has a lot of: fear of hellish agony, guilt and shame of not being selfless enough in the past and present, hardships in the name of selflessness.

Yeah.....bunch of suffering martyrs.  

I bet, this is the REAL reason why people are choosing atheism in most of the cases.

Or - radical idea inc- the shit just sounds silly to them?

Now who could possibly think that THIS was "silly," Khem?

[The Grand Nudger]

The Rube Goldberg salvation scheme stands out as one of mans lowest theological moments, and that's a field with tough competition.

Ah yes, I get it now! The whole point of the Universe and of existence itself is a giant game of Mousetrap!

Which of the Ten Commandments worked its way into the laws of the United States? Thou shalt not kill? In 1918 the so-called anti-lynching bill (H: R. 11279) was introduced to Congress and struck down by the same. Similar laws have been periodically introduced, but to this day there is no federal law against murder.

The first several commandments are just about how to worship your imaginary god. Nothing resembling profound revelation proceeds that.

Long before the Ten Commandments humans followed the Instructions of Ptah, the Precepts of Ma’at, the Emerald Tablets of Thoth, Iwa Pele. The writers of the Ten Commandments had a wealth of human moral instruction to draw on.

It's not you ...seriously... It's the indoctrination talking..
If you can just hear yourself ...

I keep quoting scientists and scientific publications, and you keep posting meme's, real compelling evidence on your part  

You should ask yourself why people are responding to your quotes with meme's.  Is it because a single quote from a specific scientist is incredibly damning evidence and they just can't handle it?  Probably not.  If you are receiving memes it's probably because people think your line of thinking is absurd.

To respond specifically to you quoting scientists(also New Scientist and Proof of Heaven are not scientific publications.)

Being a scientist myself...I would never just randomly quote another scientist to make a point.  I may appeal to authority in fields I am not an expert on, but I would never randomly quote individual scientists to prove a point.  

Looking at how individuals think and using it to open up different perspectives about a problem is awesome!  Quoting something that Einstein said to prove a point about Relativity is not.

Or maybe his hair is growing on the inside and tickling his brain.

I was going to say we don't reject their god. We simply don't believe he exists. But that's a moot point. Even if the draconian psychopath did exist we would still reject him.

And still fucked up badly.
