They are pitiful "people" aren't they? Always need their atheism to hide behind, just like a small Child needs a lollipop

and christians always need their "faith" to hide behind.

you don't need god or jesus "in your life" to do great things

people can do amazing things regardless of whether or not they are an atheist

I respectfully disagree. What you're trying to do is change the definition of "good". In your mind, an atheist who is kind and tolerant of a homosexual is doing "the right thing". Yet, all you are is an agent of Satan.

Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].

What Paul teaches us here is that our struggle isn't against human beings, but spiritual wickedness. In other words, even if you think what you are doing is from your own free will and your own rational mind, you're nothing but a Satanic pawn.

So, this is how you live your life. Trying to dictate what morality is contrary to God in service of your master Satan.

personally i don't mind people who are religious (i'm agnostic), but what really grinds my gears (ha, that's from Family Guy) is religious extremists. i know people who are very religious, but they are still open and accept new ideas such as evolution

If you define "religious extremist" as someone who follows the Bible TO THE LETTER, then you bet your sweet potatoes I am.

Well, to name a few Atheist endevours;

Electricity, invented by Thomas Edison, one of the Founding Fathers of America, Atheist.

Western Philosophy, partly invented by Socrates, who was considered, Atheist. And Materialism, which is arguably a large part of Western Philosophy, was invented by Democritus, Atheist.

The Renascence, inspiration for the Renascence in France came from the works of Cicero, a Roman Writer, Atheist. And one of the leaders and founders of the Renascence, Thomas Paine, Atheist.

Dave Allen, one of the most popular comedians in the United Kingdom, Atheist.

Democratic-Republican American Political Party Founded by PRESIDENT James Madison, Atheist.

But to name a few

Nonsense. Electricity was one of God's creations. Check the U.S. Patent Office; You will not find a patent on electricity from Edison or anyone else.

Western Philosophy, partly invented by Socrates, who was considered, Atheist. And Materialism, which is arguably a large part of Western Philosophy, was invented by Democritus, Atheist.

And God warns us to avoid philosophies, in case they might twist our minds and turn us away from our Faith.

The Renascence, inspiration for the Renascence in France came from the works of Cicero, a Roman Writer, Atheist. And one of the leaders and founders of the Renascence, Thomas Paine, Atheist.

Learn to spell.

There is no such political party in America. There is the Demoncrat Party which was once Godly but was subsequently taken over by the gays and the communists in the 1950's, and there is the GOP (God's Own Party), the only politica party on earth endorsed by Jesus.

You're a retard, aren't you?

It'd explain you being an atheist, anyway.

Thomas Edison was born in 1847. The United States was founded nearly 75 years before his birth. Not a Founding Father.

Oh, and Edison flatly denied being an atheist:

Edison was called an atheist for those remarks, and although he did not allow himself to be drawn into the controversy publicly, he clarified himself in a private letter: "You have misunderstood the whole article, because you jumped to the conclusion that it denies the existence of God. There is no such denial, what you call God I call Nature, the Supreme intelligence that rules matter. All the article states is that it is doubtful in my opinion if our intelligence or soul or whatever one may call it lives hereafter as an entity or disperses back again from whence it came, scattered amongst the cells of which we are made."

Electricity existed since God created the Earth. Or do you think Edison patented lightning and static electricity?
Given that you were wrong on every point about Edison, I don't see any reason in bothering to read any of the rest of your idiotic revisionist drivel.

[Rev. M. Rodimer]

Re: Att. ATHEISTS: What is the Purpose of your SAD,Sorry lives?

But I suppose on James Madison: Not an atheist. Deist, possibly. Atheist =/= Deist.

We hold it for a fundamental and undeniable truth that religion, or the duty which we owe our Creator, and the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence. The religion, then, of every man must be left to the conviction and conscience of every man: and that it is the right of every man to exercise it as these may dictate. [James Madison, Memorial and Remonstrance to the Assembly of Virginia]

Of course, Madison was also a practicing Episcopalian, including while he was President:

James Madison was an Episcopalian.
James Madison attended St. John's Episcopal Church while he was President.

...

Memoirs & Correspondence of Thomas Jefferson, IV, page 512 was cited as the source stating explicitly that Madison was a "theist." (Source: Ian Dorion, "Table of the Religious Affiliations of American Founders", 1997).

He did favor separation of church and state, but that doesn't make him an atheist. Why, the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty (www.bjconline.org) also favors church-state separation. Does that make them atheists?

Re: Att. ATHEISTS: What is the Purpose of your SAD,Sorry lives?

Alright, I am sorry I am so rusty when it comes to American History considering I live in the UK, and hated History when I was in school it WAS stupid of me to consider Edison a Founding Father, still, calling me a retard is not only insulting, but derogative. If I turned around and called you a idiot for your beliefs, I might understand, but until you show me when I have. Please show me the decency I show you.

He might not of been Atheist, or Theist, but he did hint at Agnostic in that quote,

what you call God I call Nature ... it is doubtful in my opinion if our intelligence or soul or whatever one may call it lives hereafter as an entity or disperses back again from whence it came, scattered amongst the cells of which we are made.

He may not explicitly deplore the idea of a sentient deity, despite being close with calling God Natured, but he admitted to doubting that there is an afterlife.

Of course, Madison was also a practicing Episcopalian, including while he was President:

And I am sure the fact that the VAST majority of American Voters are Anti-Atheist/Theist, or in some way Religiously inclined had nothing to do with his sudden interest in religion . I remember reading a article online saying that something like 78% of Americans would refuse to vote if both candidates had no religious belief

But considering how the Republican Party ended up, I am not sure its vastly popular anyway.

Re: Att. ATHEISTS: What is the Purpose of your SAD,Sorry lives?

Boy, you are ill-equipped to come in here and spew hatred and try and stir up debate. You are dumber than a bag of hammers, and that's a fact.

How would you feel if I came into a Scottish forum and claimed that Robert Bruce was Queen Elizabeth's personal bitch? AND he invented smoked kippers for breakfast?

All you're doing is making our point: Atheists have sad, pointless lives. And that's no accident, because Jesus is controlling your pathetic life, whether you want to admit it or not.

You see, denying the existence of God is not unbelief but an exercise in self-deception. You may know things, but you cannot account for anything you know. Arguing against God's existence would be on par with arguing against the existence of air, breathing it all the while. You try and use the universal, immaterial, unchanging laws of logic, mathematics, science, and absolute morality in order to come to rational decisions, but you cannot account for them. These laws are not the only way God has revealed himself to you, but they are sufficient to show the irrationality of your thinking, and expose your guilt for denying Him.

There is a reason that you deny the existence of God and it has nothing to do with proof. I can show this to you. Do you think that you can continue to deny God because surely somewhere, sometime, a philosopher or scientist will come up with an explanation for universal, immaterial, unchanging laws apart from God?' Did you ever try to come up with an alternate explanation on your own?

Hoping that an alternate explanation for universal, immaterial, unchanging laws can someday be found apart from God, is a blind leap of faith, or wishful thinking. Isn't it interesting that this is exactly what professed unbelievers accuse Christians of?

Please examine the real reason why you are running from God. It is my prayer that God will open your eyes and change your heart so that you may be saved from your sin, embraced by His ferocious love, and that you will tithe robustly immediately using the Paypal button at the bottom of this page.

Actually, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Apparently, instead of reading from any source whatsoever, you were just making things up or, as you atheists like to say, pulling them out of your [posterior].

It was stupid of you to consider Edison a Founding Father, the 'inventor' of electricity, OR an atheist. Yet you stated all three as if they were facts, expecting nobody here to question them.

We, unlike atheists, demand evidence when presented with your random assertions.

If I turned around and called you a idiot for your beliefs, I might understand, but until you show me when I have. Please show me the decency I show you.

I didn't call you an idiot for your beliefs. I asked whether you were a retard because you asserting things as fact that are patently false, and that I could disprove in under 5 minutes with the amazing power of Google.

As I said, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Since you assert that you are not retarded, I can only now assume that you are intellectually lazy and incurious, the worst sort of atheist.

He might not of been Atheist, or Theist, but he did hint at Agnostic in that quote,

Which is not, as you said, atheist.

By the way, "atheist", "theist", and "agnostic" are not proper nouns. Stop capitalizing them. Makes you look like a pompous idiot, trying to make nonbelief into a philosophy or something.

He may not explicitly deplore the idea of a sentient deity, despite being close with calling God Natured, but he admitted to doubting that there is an afterlife.

In other words, NOT AN ATHEIST.

And I am sure the fact that the VAST majority of American Voters are Anti-Atheist/Theist, or in some way Religiously inclined had nothing to do with his sudden interest in religion .

Did you ever pass a basic reading comprehension course, kid? I said he was a practicing Episcopalian, INCLUDING his time in office. Not ONLY DURING his time in office. Do you understand the difference?

A LIFELONG Episcopalian. He had no 'sudden interest in religion'.

Are all atheists as stupid as you are? No wonder there aren't any in high office!

How old are you, kid? 15? 16?

Re: Att. ATHEISTS: What is the Purpose of your SAD,Sorry lives?

When we call you a retard it's because we're alerting you to the alternative choice: to choose NOT to be a retard.

You can take this personally if you want, bury your head in the sand and go to Hell if you want...
