He did, they say he was the last prophet too.
[QUOTE=teeheeV2;20334349]I always thought that Mohamed came a long time after Jesus.[/QUOTE]
That's because Prophet Muhammad founded Islam and made the split from the rest of the Abrahamic religions.
[QUOTE=elitehakor;20334361]It's threads like these that make me dislike GD's atheism. I don't hate atheism in general, in fact I've got a few friends that are atheist, but at least they don't try to convince me that there is no God.[/QUOTE]
Nobody is trying to convince you of anything, they are simply arguing their points and they are all very valid ones, however the fact remains that the OP has failed to provide any evidence that his God exists and all the others do not.
Just like all other religions do.
[QUOTE=Kyle902;20334327]Just because your religious doesn't mean that you don't contribute to the progress of the human race. As a matter of fact religion is the only reason why the technological leap of the renaissance happened.[/QUOTE]
What the hell no it isn't. Religion is the reason that everything was going downhill after the fall of Rome.
I do however agree that religion is dated and is hindering humanities ability to advance.

Nobody's taking away your rights. You're going to choose what to believe in.
What's wrong with presenting my reasons for being an atheist? Is it uncomfortable to read?
Surely, if you are confident in your belief, my reasons for being an atheist wouldn't phase you, just as your reasons for being a theist don't phase me.

Replace that sentence with black friends and you got the statement used by every racist on the planet.
Replace it with gay friends and you got the statement from every homophobe on the planet.

Therefore we should tolerate it and allow them to hinder us even further!
[QUOTE=Lankist;20334314]FYI Dante's Inferno is not canonical to any of the Abrahamic religions.
Jesus Christ you illiterate kids.[/QUOTE]
I have no clue what Dantes Inferno is, this is just what the Muslim from school told me on the bus trip home the other day
Come on, I'm atheist and I can tolerate religion. Religious people aren't using force and authority to change my thoughts. Not tolerating something isn't going to make it disappear. There will always be a lack of knowledge, you are by what your brains allow you to be.

I'm just saying there are other ways of facing this problem. Intolerance is never the answer.
[QUOTE=Kyle902;20334367]Everything has its ups and downs.[/QUOTE]
Which is why your original statement is invalid. You can't prove a correlation between two things if there isn't one.
[QUOTE=pterodactyl]I also think that atheism has come to be the new fad of the 21st century.

Yeah, just how gravity became the new fad of the 17th century.
[QUOTE=teeheeV2;20334402]I have no clue what Dantes Inferno is, this is just what the Muslim from school told me on the bus trip home the other day[/QUOTE]
It is a poem made by a man named Dante. An amazing one at that.
[QUOTE=demoguy08;20333595]You're an idiot for being religious either way.[/QUOTE]
Dont be a disrespectful asshole atheist. i have NEVER met an atheist who doesn't scream shit in my face.

Why is child pornography illegal? Because society doesn't tolerate it.
Intolerance is quite often the answer.

Yeh, we should all do a :hitler: and clean the world. That's about the only good thing the nazi did. Shame it was only jews they killed.

I've never met a Christian who wasn't a self-righteous douche.
Just a FYI but currently 1/5th of GD is now reading this thread.

Of course you have no idea what Dante's Inferno is, you are an illiterate child who doesn't seem to understand what you denounce.
Dante's Inferno is a part of the Divine Comedy, an epic poem describing the postulated levels of Heaven, Purgatory and Hell, and a man who ventures through every level.
Each level of Hell is reserved for different sins. Alternatively, each level of Paradise for purer souls.
[QUOTE=hey5000;20334428]It is a poem made by a man named Dante. An amazing one at that.[/QUOTE]
And a sub-par Video Game made by EA that had nothing to do with the poem other than the fact he went to hell v:v:v
[QUOTE=pterodactyl?;20333579]Why do so many people, when looking at a guy going to a mosque, the first word that pops out is, terrorist?
I mean, I wear that dress like clothing and hat occasionally, and somehow people find that is a horrible thing. I hate, hate, hate it when people look at me with the prejudice eye and their faces say it out flat, "Omg he looks religious, I don't wanna get into that shit!" Or, "Omg, he's a Muslim. I cant be seen with a terrorist!" Just saying, being a Muslim boy, I get treated equally as any other man would. Better actually. Islam is a religion that has made it easy for men. We are against Gay and bisexual marriages but it doesn't mean we hate humanity.
Being a Muslim, I also believe in Jesus. I love Jesus. I believe in the Bible. I believe in Moses. I also think that atheism has come to be the new fad of the 21st century.
And I don't want to blow you up. I would just love if non-Muslim people treated me the same as other Muslim people.[/QUOTE]
Im Catholic and I love you
but lets go bomb the fucks for their BLASPHEMY! (oh wow i spelled that right!)

That statement makes absolutely no sence.
"Why are jews bad? Because the fuhrer doesn't tolerate them"

But they had a kickass cover for a reprinted edition of it. So it's okay. :downs:

I'm pretty sure it's more to do with the fact that the production of it is harmful to children, not the fact that people don't like pedophiles.
Not to mention.. Dude, it's pornography with children in it :raise:
[B]Hey guys stop trying to pointlessly strangle each other like you usually do. THE OP STOLE MY AVATAR! WHO KNOWS WHOSE AVATAR HE'LL STEAL NEXT!!![/B]

Whatever, I don't follow religion much.
All i know is what the Muslim on the bus said, some random crap my SOSE teacher said about the first crusade, and my parents forcing me to a christian school for the first 5 years of my school life.
To me, Religion is BS, but I don't go trying to force Atheism down Religious people's throats, becasue that is what they do to us. It makes us as bad as them.
Treat your fellow man/woman with respect despite what they believe in and how they live their lives and you're good in my book.
Oh and don't blow me up either.
