You're right? Why SHOULD I be an Atheist?

#1 Atheism is the only 100% correct religion in the worl with the exception of Budhism.

What about radical Islam? or Sasquatch-ism? I'm a big fan of Sasquatch-ism!

Quote
#2 It is highly supported by scientist

Just one?

Quote
#3 The opponents to Atheism only say that it is wrong but when ever they need help they go to their god for help. (Probaly becouse they cant think for themselves)

If theists didn't go to their God for help, we wouldn't really be theists, would we? (hi-ooooooo!)

Quote
#4 It attacks other cultures the least with the exception of Budhism.

Don't tell that to Sntjohnny.

Quote
#5 Atheist are optimist

So were Nazis (I've gone ahead and gotten the whole Gowdin's Law thing out of the way early).

Quote
#6 It is the only people who kill people in the name of God

Wait...I thought you just said atheists were peaceful and other people kill people in the name of God? What's going on here?

Quote
#7 The people of Atheism are only people that dont have their radicals with the exception of Budhism

Are you sure you're not a Bhuddist?

Religion?  100% correct.  Even the scientist you mentioned in the next post (If he's worth his degree) would disagree with you on this one.  Your on your own on this claim.

Quote
It is highly supported by scientist


Highly supported would suggest not 100% supported.  Since these are the fellas that would prove 100% correct-ness(?), not 100% supported = not 100% correct.

What about Christians who are Christians because they weighed atheism and found it wanting.  Think your the only person here who came to a point in their life and thought they were too smart for God?  Look around, slick...theres a bunch of us here.  Off hand I can think od Sas, Johnny, Jason, Elisha and myself who were all atheistic at one point.  Difference is you've elected to let a text book think for you.  It's still blindly following another person's thoughts...akanot thinking for yourself.

So, it attacks Budhism?

Your the good side of things?  Kewl, now I know where to look.

[/u]The people of Atheism are only people that dont have their radicals with the exception of Budhism

Ahh, yes.  Stalin was SO centered.  So was Chairman Moa.

Oops, missed another observation.  I know it's likely that someone voted and didn't post, but it was funny that when I posted, there were 2 posters and 3 votes.  Hmmmm.

1 Atheism is the only 100% correct religion in the worl with the exception of Budhism.

hmmm....I think God would disagree.

#2 It is highly supported by scientist

Any statistics on that one?  And, is this a peer pressure argument? ;)

#3 The opponents to Atheism only say that it is wrong but when ever they need help they go to their god for help. (Probaly becouse they cant think for themselves)

 So, who do you go to for help?  Your big brother?

#4 It attacks other cultures the least with the exception of Budhism.

 I assume you mean it doesn't.  Some cultures are bad and need to be attacked.

#5 Atheist are optimist (An optimist looks at either the bad way of thing or good side of things like me)

An optimist looks at the good side or the bad side?  So what's left, a neutralist? BTW Christians are pretty darn optimistic.  GOD WINS.

#6 It is the only people who kill people in the name of God

Duh, an atheist wouldn't kill in the name of God if he doesn't believe God exists.  But he might kill in the name of other things.  Communism for example.  Or actually, he might kill in the name of God, it would just be  a pretext (Saddam Hussein, anyone?).

#7 The people of Atheism are only people that dont have their radicals with the exception of Budhism

Lenin, Stalin, Mao -- all atheists, seem pretty radical to me.  Killed millions of people.  So, why aren't you a Budhist?

LOL. I like this fella. He's silly!

Atheist are optimist

I'd agree, but I'd probably get in trouble. :(

The people of Atheism are only people that dont have their radicals

d--n right! And I think we ought to get together and punch out any who would disagree! :evil:

Sas, Johnny, Jason, Elisha and myself who were all atheistic at one point.

Well, we all know you all were not TRUE atheists!

AntiChrist, I am just going to have to call you out.  For the rest of the class (yes, you in the stands giggling away ;) ), pay attention:

Notice AntiChrist's message where he "told" me, and notice when it was posted:

This was in response to my (rather flippant answer) to AntiChrist's original point #6.  Unless I made a mistake in copying (and I doubt it), his point originally read:

Quote
#6 It is the only people who kill people in the name of God


I responded:

Quote
Duh, an atheist wouldn't kill in the name of God if he doesn't believe God exists. But he might kill in the name of other things. Communism for example. Or actually, he might kill in the name of God, it would just be a pretext (Saddam Hussein, anyone?).

 
If you scroll up, however, his point now reads:

Quote
#6 It is the only people who don't kill people in the name of God except Budhist


But don't forget to notice the little comment at the bottom of his post which shows it being edited.  I have copied and pasted here:

Now, in what part of my post did I suggest that atheists believe in God? Certainly not in my (admittedly flippant) answer.  It was in my quotation of his point.   (Despite his typographical error, I actually interpreted his post in accordance with his intent in my response).   Notice, he edited his post to fix it, and then told me off.

Yes cimics I did change when I found out that mistake. I usually change stuff that I mess up. That's why I am now an Atheist instead of Christian. :)

#10 Atheist don't have to worry about the future.


So does that mean that atheists don't save money, and that whatever happens 5 seconds from now doesn't matter?  After all, 5 seconds from now is the future... don't worry about it!

Quote
#12 Atheist are only restrained by their conscience.


Ah, there are so many problems with this i don't know where to begin...

let's start here.  What is a conscience?  Where does it come from?  Is it even real?
