Athiest one liners

Can priests turn other food into God, or only those little crackers?

If money is the root of all evil, why do churches want it so badly?

There once was a time when everyone feared God and the Church reigned supreme... it was called the Dark Ages.

When did I realize I was God? Well, I was praying and suddenly realized that I was talking to myself.

Well, a very few 'sayings' were funny, some where ignorant, some were just so so. A shame really, I openned the thread expecting a laugh

Vikorr,

There were some good one liners, but it's hard to make dead baby jokes at the scene of the accident

Maybe I expected too much :wink:

These are mostly 'we're smart, you're stupid' put down lines. Nothing really creative. Don Rickles, and the record is skipping.

What is God? I do not understand, and think you do not either. Therefore I no more believe in God than ZVMZEDMAWNAZNXCJANWKJEANJKSD.

If you're looking for a God you can fully understand, then He can't be any smarter than you.

Why the need to find an omnipotent fairy? Only frightened children need make believe protectors.

You lot are very easy to put down. I don't have the slightest ounce of respect for you. You're bunch of pathetic, brain damaged, delusional losers.

Even if there was no God, why would I want to live life spewing venom as you do? Sell me on your lifestyle, Wilso. I'm listening.

Unencumbered by pathetic superstitious fear. A type of freedom that terrified little mind will never know.

And if you're not a theist, then there is no venom. It's all just a joke.

But if I were an atheist, why would I want to live as you do and spew venom at the 90% + of the human population that are theists?

It would seem to me that my attitude toward others is much more agreeable for me and them, whether or not what I believe is true.

And your attitude toward others is certainly disagreeable for them (if not for you) , whether or not what you believe is true.

So I can either:

as a theist, live a life attempting to make friends of the few who disagree with me,

or else as an atheist in your own grand tradition, I can guarantee that I make 90% of the world my 'enemies'.

Which do you think looks more attractive to me?

Real Life,

What would you call a person who cannot distinguish facts and observations from imaginations and delusions

Worse is that a person that cannot tell facts from fiction is frequently used as a tool by persons who are intelligent enough to use tools.

Some unscrupulous persons are intelligent enough to use tools.

A God is a tool that can easily be used by such unscrupulous persons.

Basically it is unfair to use a God in such a manner

Gods have been so used though throughout human history

When humans generally begin to understand that birth control is much less of a crime against humanity than wars, deprivations, and disease then perhaps we will be able to begin to thwart the obscene powers that we have granted to an imaginary Godhead.

Or perhaps not.

Are you assuming that since one cannot physically see God, then He cannot exist?

RL, apparently aka has a fondness for straw men.

Neologist and real life,

If I cannot see God. If God has no discernable effect upon the Universe. If God has no effect upon mankind.

Perhaps I may be permitted, for the time being, to think that such a thing may be simply imaginary.

Hallucinations are common, dreams are universal, (even in dogs) schiznophrenia is recognized,(as a mental disorder) phobias are human, imaginations are part of the human condition. It is a subset of intelligence, which in turn is merely a survival strategy adopted by the human species.

All you have to do is show ONE thing that COULD not have happened except by Divine intervention and I will become a Deist. Guaranteed

Surely ONE thing to explain the Universe should not be to great a task for an omnipotent Deity or His Belivers

Gravity may work for you. So might the electromagnetic force (s). So might the weak force (s) . So may the nuclear force. These are simply suggestions for you regarding things that I don't understand ---YET.

BUT if you attempt to explain the Universe by the utilization of something that I cannot ever hope to understand then I will call "foul".

This will be particularly true if the Creator of The Universe is concerned as to whether or not I circumcise my sons or daughters. Or whether I pray five or seven times a day. Or whether I say dam*. Or whether a King has a "Divine Right" to run things.

It is society (humans working in various degrees of cooperation) that makes the rules. Not any Deity. Society is controlled by humans that happen to have ( by random selection) a controlling type of personality.

If your views are accepted by uneducated persons whom have no idea as to HOW things actually work that doesn't say much for the validity of the idea Even if 90% are wrong they are still wrong Wishing and dreaming won't make it correct.

IMO being wrongheaded about your assesment of the human condition has resulted in more miseries being visited upon humans than any other product of our imaginations.

Are you sure you are not merely being stubborn in your wishes for a Creator, a Paradise or a Savior

"If wishes were horses then beggers would ride"

Sorry about Wilso. He has something in common with the preachers that burned the girls in Salem Massachussetts USA around four hundred years ago. Tends to give us Atheists a bad name Kind of like abusive priests

Neologist,

I fail to see the "straw man". Please elucidate at your convenience.
