Atheism will not give you peace for your soul.
CORRECT! Souls don't exist, ergo you can't give them peace.
Atheism will not give you a reason for life.
CORRECT! Atheism is neither religion or philosophy, it's merely the honest
admission that there are no gods.
Atheism will not explain a reason for death.
CORRECT! For that you'd need to consult a coroner.
Atheism will not give you a reward to wait for in Eternity.
CORRECT! As there is life after death, no eternity there can be no reward.
Atheism will not give you forgiveness for your sins,
CORRECT! As atheism is not a religion and therefore has no priesthood, there
is no authority figures to do the forgiving.
not even sins against atheism.
Okay now I'm confused. How would one "sin against atheism?" By secretly going
to church?
Atheism will not promote love or regard for the >human race.
CORRECT! Nor will it promote hate, terror, destruction and stagnation the way
religion does.
Atheism will not promote morals,
CORRECT! Nor does it promote phony, hypocritical morals as religions do.
for without religion...what's the point?
So let me get this straight, without utter faith in your non-existant god you
wouldn't know that rape, murder, threat, et al were wrong? GEEZ!
Atheism will not give you answered prayer, hope, >or faith in your future.
CORRECT! As there is nothing to hear or answer your prayers.
Atheism will not comfort you in your hurts, heal >your wounds, or give you
self-control.
CORRECT! All that is up to the indivdual.
Nine out of nine so far, who says these fundies don't get anything right?
Atheism fails.
At what?
Christ hasn't been defeated in 2000 years of >attempts.
INCORRECT! Well there goes that grade.....
The Dark Ages? The Crusades? Slavery? Concentration camps? Gulags? Hatred
of science?
Not an impressive record.
Trust the Lord to give you redemption and the >Providential Plan He has
for you.
Which lord? Yours or one of the other million non-existant gods?

Atheism will not give you peace for your soul.
What is a 'soul' and can you provide evidence of the
existence of such a thing?
Atheism will not give you a reason for life.
You make your own reasons to live. No one can do this
for you.
Atheism will not explain a reason for death.
How about your body either wore out or became diseased?
Atheism will not give you a reward to wait for in Eternity.
This is the only life you have. Earn your reward while you live.
Atheism will not give you forgiveness for your sins, not even sins
against atheism.
Sin is a religious concept and an extremely disgusting one. It
makes people feel guilty about many things for which there is
no reason to feel guilt. It messes people up psychologically
by making them fear retribution from a non-proveable 'God'
in a non-existent 'hell'.
Atheism will not promote love or regard for the human race.
Atheists have to be responsible for their own actions. They can't
blame a 'devil' for the evil they do and won't give credit to a non-
existent 'God' for the good they do themselves. Did you ever
wonder why there are so many more theists per number of
population in prison than there are atheists. Not even 1% of the
US prison population is atheist/agnostic. The far greater number
of people in US prisons are Catholics and Baptists. Did you
ever consider that someone who already believes he/she is
going to hell has no reason to not commit more and worse
crimes?
Atheism will not promote morals, for without religion...what's the
point?
Atheists are moral and law-abiding because they know that if they
were all criminals it could lead to the collapse of society. You really
don't know how many atheists/agnostics there are all over the world,
do you? I didn't think you did.
Atheism will not give you answered prayer, hope, or faith in your
future.
Atheists have all kinds of hopes for the future. Without hope, life
would be pointless.
Prayer is an insult to your 'God'. If he's already created the future,
what makes you think he'll change anything just for you? How very
egotistical of you. I have faith (not the religious kind) in may future
because I'm doing everything I can to see that it works out the way
I hope it will.
Atheism will not comfort you in your hurts, heal your wounds, or give
you self-control.
Religion takes away your self-control by making you depend on
only what others tell you to believe, rather than letting you develop
any kind of self-dependency. An atheist has to learn self-control in
order not to be led by the nose the religious folks are. I depend on
science to heal my wounds (the physical ones) and my friends and
family to help heal the emotional ones that I can't heal myself.
Religion is a crutch that weakens inner strength.
Atheism fails. Christ hasn't been defeated in 2000 years of attempts.
Trust the Lord to give you redemption and the Providential Plan He has
for you.
You've been shown to be totally wrong, bigoted and biased. Go
find a brain. The one you were born with was scooped out by
Bible thumpers long ago and your cranium filled with mythology.

Atheism will not give you peace for your soul.
There is no such thing as a soul but Im at peace with myself
Atheism will not give you a reason for life.
This is why you have to be lieve in god, you cannot deal with the fact that
there is no reason. You make your own reasons, empower yourself.
Atheism will not explain a reason for death.
What you mean things get old and disintegrate isn't a good enough reason or
when you get hit by a bus it's not going to turn out pretty? You think some
inconsistent incomprehensible plan is so much better?
Atheism will not give you a reward to wait for in Eternity.
You're not going to get a reward either. Sorry if you can't deal with the
fact that when you die that's it - finito.
Atheism will not give you forgiveness for your sins, not even sins
against atheism.
What are sins against atheism exactly? and your version of gawd forgives
sins does he? The only people who I need forgiveness from are people that
I've hurt anything is *****
Atheism will not promote love or regard for the human race.
Atheism = there is no god. There isn't a set of rules for it because it
isn't a religion. However you'll find that (generally speaking) don't have
the hate filled vitriol for others that claim to believe in a god
Atheism will not promote morals, for without religion...what's the
point?
For a start see above (you really don't understand what atheism is do you?).
However your statement has no basis. Bring me a study that shows the
majority of people in prision are atheists.
Atheism will not give you answered prayer, hope, or faith in your
future.
What we would be praying to? Hmmm your version of gawd does personal
favours in return for prayer?
Atheism will not comfort you in your hurts, heal your wounds, or give
you self-control.
I have doctors to heal my wounds, friends to comfort in my hurts and you
know I'm doing pretty well in the self control front. How about all those
christians killing the family planning doctors, making threats to their
families?
Atheism fails. Christ hasn't been defeated in 2000 years of attempts.
We live in hope though....oh wait we don't have that do we?!
Trust the Lord to give you redemption and the Providential Plan He has

Why should a healthy man walk with a crutch?
Atheism will not give you a reason for life.
Why do I ned to have one beyond my love of life, my family and my dreams?
Atheism will not explain a reason for death.
Why do you need one?
Atheism will not give you a reward to wait for in Eternity.
Why do you need one? There is no evidence of an eternity. Live life to it's
fullest as you have it.
Atheism will not give you forgiveness for your sins, not even sins
against atheism.
I need no forgiveness more than the forgiveness of the ones I have sinned
against. If I have sinned against no one, I have not sinned.
Atheism will not promote love or regard for the human race.
Yes, only humanism and respect for your bretheren can. Christianity is not
required.
Atheism will not promote morals,
Life, civilization, and respect for your fellow man do.
for without religion...what's the
point?
I'm sorry you need to be threatened to be a moral being. I don't.
Atheism will not give you answered prayer, hope, or faith in your
future.
It's not needed.
Atheism will not comfort you in your hurts, heal your wounds, or give
you self-control.
That's what friends are for. And self esteem. and strength of character.
Atheism fails.
Not as far as I can see, and I'm not even an atheist.
Christ hasn't been defeated in 2000 years of attempts.
Hasn't been proven, either.
Trust the Lord to give you redemption and the Providential Plan He has
for you.
I'm sorry your moral failings are so overwhelming, your self esteem so
lacking, and your logic so dependant on irrational beliefs.
Don't judge me or anyone else on your own failings.

Why does believing in imaginary gods give you a reason for life?

There are no sins except in your xian fantasies.

Atheism neither succeeds or fails. It is merely the lack of belief in

What about the international socialist

What about the national federation of teachers or the

WHat about them?

Which countries do you consider "socialist"?
http://www.ericmargolis.com/archives/2005/01/giant_potlatch.php
<As of this writing, Australia leads with a whopping US $764 million,
< followed by Germany with $664m, Japan $500m, the US $350m, Norway
< $183, France $103, and so on down to the Arab oil states who
< collectively anted up a measly $42m
Those of course are raw numbers. A proper comparison would be as a
fraction of GNP, in which case you have to multiply Australia's
contribution by 23, Germany's by 4, Japan's by 2, Norway's by 60,
France's by 6, and the Arab oil states by 40-60 depending on which
countries the above total included. Figured proportionately, every
one of those countries listed is dwarfing the relatively stingy US
contribution (note that the Arab nations have been much criticized for
their "tiny" contribution, apparently by people who think that high
oil profits make those countries enormously rich - but the US is a
piker by comparison using a GNP-based comparison).
Norway is one of the more socialist of countries, while France and
Germany have been subject to US scorn for not toeing Bush's line in
the sand on Iraq.. Japan and the Arab states don't have a lot of
Christians.

Which countries do you consider "socialist"?

Those of course are raw numbers. A proper comparison would be as a
fraction of GNP, in which case you have to multiply Australia's
contribution by 23, Germany's by 4, Japan's by 2, Norway's by 60,
France's by 6, and the Arab oil states by 40-60 depending on which
countries the above total included. Figured proportionately, every
one of those countries listed is dwarfing the relatively stingy US
contribution (note that the Arab nations have been much criticized for
their "tiny" contribution, apparently by people who think that high
oil profits make those countries enormously rich - but the US is a
piker by comparison using a GNP-based comparison).
Norway is one of the more socialist of countries, while France and
Germany have been subject to US scorn for not toeing Bush's line in
the sand on Iraq.. Japan and the Arab states don't have a lot of
Christians.

Canada just boosted its contribution to 435million.

Which you can multiply by around 14 to get their contribution relative
to the US in percentage of GNP.

And is it socialist countries or Christian charities paying for the
repairs, medicine, and care of those hurt? How much money has the ACLU
put up for human needs in asia? What about the international socialist
organizations? What about the national federation of teachers or the
national organization for women or planned parenthood. Where are their
open checkbooks?
They were probably unaware that they were supposed to send confirmation
of their donations to your sorry *****.

I don't keep tabs on such things.
I have made one contribution and may make another.

That is not their purpose.

organizations? What about the national federation of teachers or the

I am not responsible for any of those organizations. But I am sure
that many members of those organizations have contributed. Charity is
a personal response.
I am happy that you have made a contribution to those on this planet
who are having difficulties, while you are visiting. I am thanking
you because your concern is so evident that I am sure you have made
personal sacrifices to the cause of humanity. It is much
appreciated. Are there similar disasters and outpourings of aid on
your planet? If so, how can I contribute?

The lack of understanding about the ACLU is widespread among those on

like thousands of others; a nation-wide legal firm that specializes in
civil rights issues, no matter who the plaintiff is or their ability to
pay. I would not be a bit surprised to see them defend the Philadelphia
Four, if asked.

the Mormons, and the Mormons don't recognize each other in the liquor
store.
And the Baptists look the other way on seeing each other in the adult
section of the video rental store...

And is it socialist countries or Christian charities
paying for the repairs, medicine, and care of those hurt?
How much money has the ACLU put up for human needs in
asia? What about the international socialist
organizations? What about the national federation of
teachers or the national organization for women or
planned parenthood.
Where are their open checkbooks?
WHAT?
This sort of reveals a different agenda, doesn't it?
Oh look! It's another dittohead!
What the *freak is he on about anyway? He thinks the ACLU is a
relief organization?
I thought he was just another do-gooder christian out to save
our souls but the screed above shows that he's far worse, a
dominionist who gets his information from faux news and right
wing talk radio. He's Duke-light.
Do *any of the people vehemently attacking the ACLU actually
know that it *is?
The lack of understanding about the ACLU is widespread among
those on the right. Not a single one of them (except, perhaps,
Limbaugh himself recently) understands that the ACLU is nothing
more than a legal firm like thousands of others; a nation-wide
legal firm that specializes in civil rights issues, no matter
who the plaintiff is or their ability to pay. I would not be a
bit surprised to see them defend the Philadelphia Four, if
asked.
Last I saw, the local ACLU *is interested in the case and on the
side of the Christians. But I'm sure that the Christers won't
*ask. That would hurt their propaganda campaign claim that the
ACLU *never helps *Christians...
The ACLU supported the Mormon Church when their housing rules at
BYU were challenged.
Yeah but they're not Real Christians(tm)!
(At least not according to the fundies who spend all day whining
about the ACLU)
Eh. The Catholics don't recognize the Fundies, the Fundies don't
recognize the Mormons, and the Mormons don't recognize each other in
the liquor store.
And the Baptists look the other way on seeing each other in the adult
section of the video rental store...
Which other way can they look? Are they masters of disguise.
Shapeshifters?
Or perhaps they just bend over and look sheepish?
