Atheists... Your life is pointless

I am proudly an atheist, and I don't give a **** about proving the negative. I hold that there is not the slightest reason to conjure a god to worship, or to ascribe some sort of divine guidance to the universe. Revering a Super Parent of a God in particular is to me just laughable. Believing in a disinterested, faceless god is not much different. It is based in the same fear and ignorance, after acknowledging that the Old God-with-a-beard is too embarrassing to consider. One can't blame science for atheism. There would be no gods even if there were no scientists.

And I think that the notion of this world being a cosmic mistake is laughable. The notion that every believer is somehow ignorant is even more preposterous.

If there truly were any loathing being displayed here, it would refer to the holy rollers who showed up to bash atheists, in a thread which was started for the purpose of bashing atheists. It is both disgusting and hilarious to see MOAN and Intrepid with their protestations of christian virtue showing up to defend Creasy's hatefulness toward those with whom he disagrees on the issue of the imaginary friend superstition. It is rather like stepping in front of a moving car, and then screaming about a hit and run. What lunacy you all practice.

I think that it is an utter waste of time and energy to even contemplate your existence. You won't have to worry yourself about getting posts from me in the future.

Don't worry, we are trying to get him some help.

Certainly does help to explain why quantity of posts seem to overtake quality of absorption and answers.

The title of this thread is, indeed offensive. Even to this Christian who does not condemn those who think differently. We can disagree and sometimes we can even disagree strongly.

For me, I was at first reluctant to post anything in this thread because of the title. I realize that civil discourse is difficult when the title is so negative to begin with. This is my last post in this thread.

There are those who would want that it be unlawful for people to have Christian beliefs.

The life of an atheist is not pointless. They have their belief system the same as anybody else. We all must accept the consequences of our beliefs.

John Creasy,

I have to admit, I enjoyed reading every one of these posts!

But, I do need to point something out to you and it is the right thing to do. I do not feel you can lump Phoenix into your personal feelings/thoughts, etc., about atheists, non-believers, etc. Phoenix, in my opinion, is one of a kind. You will find her extremely fair in all matters and with all viewpoints. She and I disagree on a lot of things, but she is by far, the fairest I have come across.

And, by the way, I have tried myself pointing out that 'they' think it's ok to call our beliefs, etc. stupid but it's not okay for 'us' to do it to them. Also, as I have pointed out many times, it is not right for any of us to demean or belittle anyone else for what they believe. We don't have to agree, but we surely do not need to reduce ourselves to belittling anyone for anything.
