Pictures of u in heaven with d angel or I don't believe it.

Really? You can't snap an illusion...

Now, I believe that senseless and religious are synonymous.

A parable, by Atheist Republic contributor, Abbas Syed.

Four men are having tea in The Great Afterlife Café; one is a Muslim, one is a Christian, one is a Jew, and one is an atheist. The great Archangel Gabriel flies into the café and tells them, "God has been expecting you, please come along." The theists give the atheist a smug look as they all fly off together, mocking him relentlessly, telling him that he will not be getting any virgins, or delicious food, refreshing drinks, or even fresh air. Gabriel, with a sudden flick of his golden stick, orders all four men to stop and bow in preparation for God's appearance.

The three believers waste no time and get their foreheads to touch the surface of the great white cloud. Their eyes filled with tears, their hearts carried away with the sentiments for their Abrahamic God. "Yes, we were right! We were right!" they congratulate themselves. They feel something humungous rising up in front of them as the atheist, seeing what's coming, begins laughing. Suddenly, the entire cloud shakes so dramatically, it causes the believers to look up from their bow. Their joy and excitement suddenly fade as they discover that it was God's hammer causing the cloud-quake, and behold, Thor is the one, the almighty God!

Thor orders all the three believers to be thrown face-first into Hades because they believed in stories, and asks his personal assistant, Forseti, what should be done with the atheist. "Well," suggests Forseti, "I know that he did not believe in you, but at least he did not commit the sin of making up his own gods. Nevertheless, now that he has seen you and your power, he has become a true believer!"

And so, the atheist waves his hand to the believers who are undergoing the first stages of their torture as he enters paradise.

Time and again, the religious lobby argues the "uncertainty argument," emphasizing that they are safe whether a god exists or not and that if atheists are wrong about god, they'll be sent to hell. But clearly, they're only safe if there is a god and it happens to be the one god they follow. The whole religious lobby is nothing more than a house divided against itself.

Peterken05: bro, where did you get these statistics?

just google it...

mazaje: This infomation is false, the number of irreligious, atheist and agnostic in the united states is about 20 percent of the total population. . .

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/10626076/Is-America-losing-faith-Atheism-on-the-rise-but-still-in-the-shadows.html

http://religions.pewforum.org/reports

Bad of me to not update my knowledge of that.

Good thing atheism is on the rise....

People mistake their belief or lack of it for who they really are... religion does not determine the success of a relationship. America has about 95% religious population (only about 5% are atheist/irreligious/agnostic) and still, 50% of marriages end in divorce. That's greater than the total number of all nonbelievers in the country.

What determines success of a relationship is the people involved. So in the end, it doesn't matter if one is an atheist and the other is a believer in some sort of god when it comes to marriages.

Some religious ladies are just good in all aspects (including in bed), some around me knows about my atheism and they don't care. I can definitely pick anyone of those.......

striktlymi: Not really. I get involved when I either want to refresh my mind for the next round of work in the office or when I am a bit too bored to do something else. Either way, the debates can be a bit monotonous and largely unproductive.

ok...

Missonas: Exactly

Don't misunderstand me, am an atheist!

striktlymi: Sometimes I have the same sentiments.

And now, you think otherwise?

striktlymi: Hmmmmm...

#Have u gone back? Don't see u around here much.

Found that religious debates aren't worth it...

striktlymi: The problem with Religion is not religion in itself but people. Like so many other endeavour, people can use religion as a tool to further their selfish interest. Islam in itself is not to blame from my viewpoint but the people who use it to further their selfish interest, knowingly or unknowingly.

More like alcohol causes accidents, but alcohol is not to blame but the drunkard argument right?

I agree...

striktlymi: I am always Catholic.

I believe ISIL to be a terror group which is giving Islam a very bad name.

Ok, so even though Islam is the motivation behind all these terrorism, you think Islam is not to blame but these victims of religion?

Again, your god cannot rescue his church

striktlymi: I agree and that is one reason the internet is a veritable tool to access materials on Islamic literature.

From Catholicism to Islam ... are you getting converted or deconverted to Islam?

Whats your view on ISIL, IS, ISIS or whatever?

Turn the celebs into idols, scientists into gods, doctors into miracle workers. Collect donations from members... religion is a get rich quick scheme.
Plan it well and soon, you will be riding in your own private jets, building universities the poor cannot afford and changing spouse as you like...but i will never be a member

mmsen: The evidence we have shows that societies where religion is most prominent are the most unequal, usually have a higher crime and infant mortality rate.

... and racism

redsun: How can it get better when they don't think? They are like blind people walking in the dark without even white sticks to guide them.

Ordinary street cleaning requires a miracle in Nigeria,they have to pray for the street to be clean and free themselves of mosquitoes and preventable diseases that kills thousands on regular basis. Total lack of fundamebtal common sense that Jesus and Mohammad have replaced.

I wish you can stop sharing religious stuff with me, I have moved on to sexuality section now and I love it there.

BraveGuy: can someone just use their brain for a moment?

When I say Frankestein, I mean ALL the botched experiments with human cells, such as Dolly the sheep.

ok, what exactly makes dolly botched? and can you name anymore of your suppossed botched experiments out of the many you claim?

BraveGuy: With all
the knowledge that so-called scientists have today, especially of
growing stem cells and the like, why have they not been able to
chemically create their own version of the human being or at least an
animal?

All they have been doing is manipulating the one that is already in
existence and that with terrible results - Frankestein!

Frankestein is a myth, just like your god. but you talk of Frankestein as if he existed, just as you talk about your god.

davidylan: and this is of relevance to the atheist because? There are many other
"fictional characters"... why is this one of most importance to you that
you spend a whopping amount of your time caterwauling about?

your posts always show lack of thought. do your math and you'd see
xtianity has more fans than other religions, its the dominant religion.
so destroy xtianity and you'd have a good strike down of other religion
because same arguments that destroy one religion destroy all religions.
so fight one, you fight all.

so dont worry, when your religion gets struck down, other religions will
follow.

Born2beRich1: Honestly, i give this credit to joel lala.. he has really tackled some tough atheists here and this one, he tackled logicboy and ooman to the ground in respect to evolution..

actually, the argument are dumb, that's why they are ignored...

You are on your way to becoming reasonable.

Ajibam: when you learn to talk without insult,, i can now think of discussing with you....

if you are amomg the elected, one day, you will be cleared... if not... may God have compassion on your soul...

@bold-your source?

^^this gibberish answers nothing.

Pastor Kun: Jesus NEVER claimed to be God, rather he made it clear on several occasions that he is the only begotten son of God and he was sent to mankind by God.

pls post the verse where Jesus stated that "I am the only begotten son of God".
Thanks
