"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."- Stephen F Roberts --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In science, "fact" can only mean "confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent."
I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the
possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms.
-Stephen Jay Gould "The atheist bashes all religions whilst the theist bashes all but his own, upon which he lavishes great care in case it should come in contact with reality."[Gully Foyle] Christian Fundamentalism: The doctrine that there is an absolutely powerful, infinitely knowledgeable, universe spanning entity that is deeply and personally concerned about my sex life.- George Carlin "Making fun of born-again christians is like hunting dairy cows with a high powered rifle and scope." [P.J. O'Rourke] You do not need the bible to justify love, but no better tool has been invented to justify hate.-- Richard A. Weatherwax "...when two opposite points of view are expressed with equal intensity, the truth does not necessarily lie exactly halfway between them. It is possible for one side to be simply wrong." - Richard Dawkins "The invisible and the non-existent look very much alike." - Delos B. McKown

>>I think things started to hit home when he realized that his beloved god is an atheist.
>Don't go running off now betting the farm on that now. >Do you believe God is an atheist ?
Yes. After all, he has no god to believe in.
The simplest schoolboy is now familiar with truths for which Archimedes would have sacrificed his life. Ignorance killed the cat. Curiosity was framed Love is like licking the ass of a dead squirrel that's been lying bloated in the sun, but also, there's a negative side. Bill Clinton, proof that you CAN get sex by having unprotected Aides The reason [for the world wide flood] I've always perceived was that humanity had become really really mean and nasty and sinful and that there was only one righteous person left, so God said I'll put the good guy on a boat and to hell with everybody else I'll drown them for their wickedness. If that doesn't make sense to you then maybe you're not mentally ill. Philosophy: Questions that may never be answered. Religion: Answers that may never be questioned. Salman Rushdie has pissed off one of the largest faiths in the world, yet appears to be healthy (the Mulsims, being pragmatic people, assume that their god is too busy to kill all the people that need killing, so they try to help out where they can). There was a time when christianity ruled the world. It is now known as the Dark Ages. When something goes well, people assume a god was helping them. When things go in the crapper, it's written off as "we cannot understand..". A consistent view is needed here. Perhaps satan kept you alive so you can run down a 12-year old on a bicycle who would have cured cancer? Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then it suddenly flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come. The true scientist revises his beliefs to fit the evidence. The true believer revises the evidence to fit his beliefs. Sex on the television is dangerous as well. It's very easy to fall off and hurt yourself. "Help preserve your child's belief in Santa Claus. Tell him or her that Santa will send them to hell if they don't believe in him." God is great. God is good. And if you don't kiss his ass. Satan will sodomize you with a splintered baseball bat for eternity. Amen. "Every christian who tries to escape the path of a speeding bullet with fear in his eye is an example of a "foxhole conversion" to atheism and proves they don't really believe in a heavenly paradise in the hereafter. There are a hell of a lot more of those conversions than there are of atheists to christians." >Christianity is not just an emotional thing, it also includes sound reasoning, historical facts
"Really? When did they change it?" "God has commanded many of His Children to kill in the scriptures, but when they are led by the Spirit, this is not an act of hate. This is an act of Love." If a man says anything, and no woman hears him, is he still wrong? Can I just say how cute I think it is when a Christian thinks something is far-fetched? "What the hell are you getting so upset about?" he asked her bewilderedly in a tone of contrite amusement. "I thought you didn't believe in God." "I don't," she sobbed, bursting violently into tears. "But the God I don't believe in is a good God, a just God, a merciful God. He's not the mean and stupid God you make Him out to be." Yossarian laughed and turned her arms loose. "Let's have a little more religious freedom between us," he proposed obligingly. "You don't believe in the God you want to, and I won't believe in the God I want to. Is that a deal?" The software I make never has bugs. It just develops random features.
