Then stop posting...damn I'll probably get banned for feeding the troll. Oh well, might as well continue.
As an atheist myself I hope these people are buried under the sea of good people that exist within Christianity and that Christianity aren't judged by these jackasses.

[quote]Liberals are also much less likely than conservatives to believe that “God is the all-knowing, all-powerful creator of the world who still rules the universe today.” Only about half of liberals (55%) adopt that view of God compared to more than four out of five conservatives (82%)[/quote]
55%. Majority.

Good question.

Just saying if they were, I would be praising the lord, moreso if I got paid to do it.
Religous people are so friendly. I mean, I used to live in a neighborehood where everyone knew I was athiest, so they spat on me as I walked by...yep, live in the ghetto was very interesting.
I want to sit down and talk to one of these people who say they would want us dead. I could straighten them out in 30 minutes. No, I couldn't change their faith, but I could stop them from killing us.
Extreme Christians. Shitting at the bible since 1149. I don't know what's worse here. That they give their religion a bad name or that FBI isn't gonna give a shit anyway.
[QUOTE=Alex_DeLarge;31516026]The fact that most Christians are hardcore conservatives is the most hypocritical of all "close down our borders, treat illegal immigrants like living trash, don't support universal health care and social programs that assist the elderly and the homeless, save the unborn but once they're born we don't want to give a fuck about you".[/QUOTE]I WANTED to say "Only in America". But then i remembered that it's actually pretty much everywhere. Only place where we have universal equality on this planet is in the capital of "Depraved Atheist scum" SCANDI-FUCKING-NAVIA!" (and other european countries who pride themselves in practising sanity and kindness towards their next of kin).
Yeah. I haven't been taking Baptism or other American Christian denominations as anything but disguised egoism and social-status boosting ever since Healthcare got voted down because "money, Socialist, Hussein!"
Utter disgust is putting it mildly. You know we have asylums for such people over here right?

Well I would be the smart one, and tell them I'm athiest and if they kill me, I'll wait for them in the ground.

Well yeah probably me too
Furthermore if I died and went to stand before the lord God who I have so vehemently denied the existence of, I'd probably be kissing his fucking toes unlike all the guys who proclaim they'd give him the finger or some edgy bullshit

The majority of liberals are Christian...
But the majority of Christians are conservative.
Two totally different things.

Religious people aren't more friendly then atheists.
Religious people aren't less friendly then atheists.
We are all equal.
There are idiots everywhere.
We grew up thinking slightly differently, but believing in god doesn't make you a better or worse person.
People everywhere need to understand this.

It's a discussion, while I do agree it should not be in ITN (rather GD), there is a point to the thread.

[QUOTE=Alex_DeLarge;31516311]Wait so you're arguing that Liberals are less likely to believe in Christianity than Conservatives?[/QUOTE]
No, I'm saying that, like that first guy said, the majority of liberals are Christian. It's not bullshit.
[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;31516349]It's a discussion, while I do agree it should not be in ITN (rather GD), there is a point to the thread.[/QUOTE]
No, there is not, because without a source or evidence that these people are Christians and that they somehow represent Fox News, any argument or discussion over the matter is moot. The picture means nothing.
[QUOTE=Marbalo;31516327]And somewhat unrelated, but why is the Devil / Lucifer whatever he is called a problem when it comes to God? Isn't God all powerful? Why wouldn't he just wipe out all evil off the face of the planet, and handle this Devil guy and be done with it.
Now if I'm missing something, that means either 2 things. God is not all powerful, therefore cannot be called a God.
He is an asshole that doesn't care about millions of good people being slaughtered for absolutely nothing.[/QUOTE]
He is an asshole. He is pretty much the first original "bro" asshole we know and love today.
I would be hypocritical if I said I didn't feel the same towards them.
I wonder how religion went...
"Hello everyone, my name Jesus. I am jewish". *everyone ignores him*
"I am the son of god"
Over 1 billion people now celebrate the birth of Jesus and devote their life to him,even though they probably have no idea when he was born.Wonder how that went,but that would be another book.
Oh, I see what the statistic is saying. I was thinking you guys were saying that more Liberals believed in the concept of god than conservatives did. Of course a lot of liberals are believers, we live in a nation where Christianity is the most common belief and not only did that statistic say "do you believe that Christ is our savior" it stated god so that includes every other form of "god".

God doesn't exist. God is made up by man. God is a symbol of something truly good, something that a man can be. (And that's what religiousness should be all about in my opinion.)
All-knowing, all-loving, sadistic fucks, experiments.. sounds like humans alright.

Complaining doesn't solve this. If you want it moved to GD for example, you could - say, kindly PM a moderator?
