so wait what about those catholic priests that raped little boys
I bet christians shit bricks when they see a brown person because he could blow up any time. Or they cry for help when they see a gay couple because that's contagious. And they also probably think retarded kids are possessed by satan or something. I don't mind religion but when it goes to bigotry and ignorance like that it just makes my blood boil. People say if there was no religion we'd be killing because of other reasons, but I think shit like this wouldn't be happening.

[QUOTE=Lambeth;33562320] Atheists have very little in common with each other. Besides the disbelief in god. [/QUOTE] I gotta call bullshit. I live in the southern united states, one of the worst places to live in the USA if you aren't a god fearing church going (white) family man. Every Atheist I have ever met has been a kind, logical, humble person like me. But maybe living down here in utter fear of being exposed and thus shunned does this to people.
[QUOTE=Lambeth;33562320]more like this imo [img]http://i.imgur.com/pVi3t.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Yeah, that's a bit more accurate. Though it [I]can[/I] happen both ways.
[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;33562364]I gotta call bullshit.[/QUOTE] Calling bullshit will not help you for it cannot speak on matters of religion.
[QUOTE=Lambeth;33562382]Calling bullshit will not help you for it cannot speak on matters of religion.[/QUOTE] Edited my post.
It seems like that it's only the Juedo-Christian religions that seem to cause this much ignorance. The other philosophies and religions seem much more calmer than them.

That being said I can actually see why some Christians fear atheism, non-believers are the fastest growing population around the world, they feel threatened by it as most do by Islam. Of course this is a stark generalization, but most people strongly upholding beliefs tend to have very little respect for others.

[QUOTE=wingless;33561457]And this is why I'm Anti-Religion. Because of the bullshit it spreads and the danger it inflicts. Not to mention the countless crimes ignored and constant demoralization and fear spread around the world.[/QUOTE] But somehow you get Anti-Religious people who put pressure on religious people which spreads danger and conflict between others. Hey i met my fair share of dickhead atheists and i met some nice ones too. I also met some hardcore Religious people and it creeps me out sometimes, I also met normal people who just believe there is more to it then you can see. Majority of the atheists i met though are dicks, Like you who go out and start hating on peoples own beliefs and start shit all the time for attention.

[QUOTE]The students read a description of an untrustworthy man who pretended to leave insurance information after backing his car into a parked vehicle and were asked to say whether it was more likely the man was either a Christian, Muslim, rapist or an atheist. People were far more likely to say he was either an atheist or a rapist and not part of a religious group.[/QUOTE]Y'know, I'm not really religious and I probably would have gone with atheist as well. If you're supposed to think as if these conditions somehow affected the hypothetical person's choice, typical Christian or Muslim beliefs don't exactly have a section about rear-ending etiquette. And he certainly didn't rape the car. So that leaves atheist; not because atheists are inherently untrustworthy, but because it was the closest to a "vanilla" choice in a scenario where everything else seems to be a stretch at best.
[QUOTE=Cone;33562373]Yeah, that's a bit more accurate. Though it [I]can[/I] happen both ways.[/QUOTE]Tell me more. Since atheists don't have any unifying symbols, how can someone disrespect that?

[QUOTE=JumJum;33561765]Where is this said?[/QUOTE] I don't know, I don't read the bible. It's just something I keep hearing everywhere, I should have put the word "apparently" in there
if anything it's because a lot of atheists tend to act like total douchebags when the topic rises that and because religious people trust familiarity more than anything else
[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;33562592]Not really. Its like asking which person out of a Muslim, a Christian, a Rapist, and an Atheist is more likely to prefer toast over waffles.[/QUOTE] I would honestly probably go with either Athiest or Rapists. Just because I like toast, and it seems like an athiest would too.
Honestly as a atheist I find religion really interesting and I kinda want to go into a church/mosque/synagogue/whatever and just observe/interact them.
[QUOTE=AeroSinthetic;33562715]I would honestly probably go with either Athiest or Rapists. Just because I like toast, and it seems like an athiest would too.[/QUOTE] I would go with Christians liking toast myself, since they got the whole "flesh of christ" thing going on. I mean, it would be hilarious to think of the flesh of christ as waffles.
[QUOTE=Megafanx13;33562621]Atom smashing?[/QUOTE] Well from the military point of view an Atom with an A in it is the grave stone symbol for atheists. [url]http://www.cem.va.gov/hm/hmemb.asp[/url]

[QUOTE=VaSTinY;33562670]I don't know, I don't read the bible. It's just something I keep hearing everywhere, I should have put the word "apparently" in there[/QUOTE] That's one problem with many people who attack religion. They don't actually know anything about the religion and just base everything off the dumb things that the people do. There's nothing in the Bible about hating black people or against interracial marriage. In fact the Bible really condemns racism in several verses like for example Acts 17:26- "And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation
