I would be overwhelmed with excitement had I seen this plane in flight.
You and the kids can soon sit on Satans lap and take pictures.

Gamerman01 you’re making my point from earlier.
That’s a very egotistical thing to say, isn’t it?
By trotting out “God-hating” you misunderstand and misrepresent me.
As explained before, no I didn’t. I wasn’t referring to your comments at all. Egotistical again, to assume I’m talking to you.
I have no interest in “converting” you or forcing things upon you.
I know. Never said you did. Why are you saying this?
I do have an interest in not being misunderstood and misrepresented.
Who does, besides liars?
These are oft not compatible goals.
This is ambiguous. What goals? Not being misunderstood? Not being misrepresented? Your non-goal of converting me? You are unclear, and don’t take this as a request to clarify. I’m really not interested at all in what you think, and I am well aware that my worldview is very offensive to you, so what are you trying to do? Sound smart?

And…. since this thread was obviously never going to accomplish anything from the get-go
it can be deleted any time now… -

I do not wish to be misrepresented or misunderstood. I do not wish to make arguments at people with no interest in hearing them. Those are my goals.
As what (from where I’m sitting, perhaps incorrectly it seems) is being misunderstood and misrepresented are my beliefs it is difficult to keep from being misrepresented or misunderstood without making arguments at people with no interest in hearing them.
What I’m trying to do is be diplomatic. :-)

Looking through the posts above, I can’t see any God-hating going on.
I can scarcely hate an entity I don’t believe is real. What I do dislike passionately is people claiming to represent said entity without the slightest authority.
If such a being does exist I can hardly believe he’d stand by all those who so arrogantly misrepresent him, including non-Jews who fail to get that he wasn’t interested in the welfare of anyone but his own chosen folk. Or is it just possible that one of them is correct, and has a perfect understanding of His great omnipotent mind?
Someone mentioned Santa; so why do boys stop believing in him when they grow up, but continue to worship God? At least Saint Niclaus is based on a real person.
-
Wow! There is a serious amount of God-hating going on here, and the cynicism is unbelievably thick…
You all ought to feel better since you found a nice little atheist support group nest and can vent all your frustrations against Christians who have pestered you so much.
Maybe you will be the ones sitting on Satan’s lap and your kids will be taking the pictures. Seems you all need the comfort of sitting on a lap
Defending myself from those who Dam me and insist I’m going to burn eternally in Hell just because I support abortion and same sex marriage, is neither an anti-God or pro-atheist point of view.

Well, first of all foot, you were wrong to assume that my comment was directed only at you. You were just the most recent post. That’s why I used terms like “you all” and other general terms.
Gamerman01, were you then referring to me? I was one of those not so recent post authors? If not me, then exactly who WHERE you referring to?
I often find that when you start throwing labels at others like “You are bitter” that its often wise to not post that, take a breath then investigate the possible irony of the statement you are about to utter.
When you say you are an atheist you imply religious types have it all wrong. How is this different to non-Christian religious types when you claim you are Christian?
I know of no atheist organisations that compare to say the westbro baptist church. Obviously not all religious groups are like this, but i know of at least one that is. That is one more than any atheist group in their radical degree of ideology promotion.
God is great, every single one of them. By definition for sure.

With out faith you have nothing, and as far as God not existing…just look around you.
Oh yea what came first the chicken or the egg
Look into Bible history and Jesus -
It is my experience in general that the godless are the one with the hard-on bloodlust/bone to pick with the faithful.
I mean, it’s not exactly like the good old days where people are “rounded” up in witch hunts and burned at the stake.
Many godless folk just can’t leave well enough alone, Oh No! They have to make efforts to ban books, speeches, and the word “christmas”. Or wearing religious symbols in the workplace (This is a constitutional crisis in Quebec at the moment).
Anyways, if a bunch of Yankee Doodles want to erect a statue of Satan. Great! I’m going to visit and take a dump on his lap, and paint LARRY HARRIS WAS HERE on his throne.

No, nobody there. Unless you count that handsome chap in the mirror.
What came first were simple single celled organisms that reproduced by division. They evolved over million years into more complex forms such as, yes, chickens.
It is precisely WHEN you look, really LOOK, into Bible history that you find out how it has been misrepresented and re-written by the church. For example it talks of the sons of the Gods coming down to earth and mating with human females to produce a race of giants. Where does that sit with your one-and-only God theory? Where did God come from? Why did he create sinful beings and then delight in punishing them for the sins he had them born with? Why do Christians believe in a Jewish God and concept of heaven, yet take their view of Hell from Norse mythology (there is no hell in Judaism)? Why do they persist in believing Jesus died on the cross against all the evidence?

so the chicken came first…just kidding
I meant to say archeology and Bible history.
Yes Jesus does still put fear and hatred into people even after being dead for 2000 years.
Good luck and good gaming

Radio show regular apologizes for saying Satanists should be shot

Yes, tho shalt not kill….unless people/s beliefs offend you then by all means let the killing begin. Then ask for forgiveness and its all good. Great system!

Very funny! :lol:
Great topic by the way……

Anti-religion does not equal Godless.
-
Oh, so… who do you worship?
The Planet?
Larry Harris?
GAYa?
-
I know that answer
“Your Wife”
Religion is the downfall of man kind, Religion is not faith.
Good luck and good gaming keep praying to the dice gods -
I’m just against organized religion. I believe in God because it’s definition is tied to the existence of the universe. So God is all the scientific laws and everything that made the cosmos.
I can’t deny existence.

This suggests worship is required. Why is some sort of worship required?
Your responses to atheism suggest the argument that everyone has some sort of god. By characterizing atheists as “god-less” you resort to essentially ad hominem and simple ridicule for the idea. In order for me to be “god-less” I would need to believe that there were in fact gods. I can not be less something that does not exist. So your question above comes across as some sort of lame rhetorical trap stemming from a semantic game i.e.: You worship “The Planet”-> one worships gods -> “The Planet” is your god. -> Therefore you are not an atheist.
“That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”

How is saying there is no God denying existence?

Probably if the idea of God has no connection to anything in the universe.
