I Am So Angry With God!

[mut3eb89]

iam sorry you feel that way .,, but we both know that you need god as much as we do

,, and fu##k you for doing what you told and not what you belive . and wether if his up there or not we should still belive in him cuz his the one who none of us would be ever . and we all need him ,, because we do live in a fucked up world that no one have the abillity to change it

[Atheistblindchick]

@mut3eb89 First of all, learn to spell, this honestly is atrocious. Secondly,you don't need to spam my comments like that, what's the point??? Thirdly, have you even watched my video, and if you have, did you get that I'm not really angry at god, since I don't believe in her/him/it? It's useless to be angry with something that does not exist. Honestly, I need your god as much as I need a toothache, and just in case you don't get that, it means I don't need it at all.

[AEVautomatic]

@Atheistblindchick wow you are so angry

[hanspeterpitsch]

@mut3eb89 So what is "he" going to do about our world? He's doesn't exist, and if he did, it wouldn't matter, since he clearly does NOTHING to help us. So even if he existet, we wouldn't need him for anything.

[mut3eb89]

iam sorry you feel that way .,, but we both know that you need god as much as we do

[Ali313xx]

Listen... You can pray, worship or not worship god for all I care but just don't diss peoples religion and god like that.... That's why people attack atheists because they don't show respect.... At least we have a reason to live and die all you have is "Darwin's "THEORY""

[Atheistblindchick]

@Ali313xx You don't get it, do you. You have a deity, I don't, nor do I need to have a replacement for it (ie darwin's theory). I'd still be an atheist, even if there was not theory of evolution.

What you need to understand is that yes, it's totally warranted for me to speak out against religion, since it influences so much that it shouldn't, It should be a private thing I do not need to be bothered by, but alas, laws and actions by the religious unduly influence my life.

[Atheistblindchick]

@Ali313xx If you were to leave me alone to live my life as I see fit, not as your deity apparently sees fit, we would not have a problem. If you kept your faith out of my life, we would not have a problem. Till that day, I will speak out, and speak out loudly against religion.

[ReginaAdonna]

"There will be no peace on Earth until My Son's Kingdom. I will crush every kingdom now standing and rock the earth off its foundation. I Yahweh will destroy every enemy to My throne, and who can stop Me? Who can turn back My anger? No one." - Yahweh

Matthew 10:34 "Don't assume that I came to bring peace on the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword."

Exodus 15:3 "The LORD is a warrior; Yahweh is His name."

[Atheistblindchick]

@ReginaAdonna Exactly, and you worship this creature? Hmmm, that tells me more about you than you might want me to know...

[onofomi]

alright we get it your ugly and dont want to show your face on camera

[freetaught]

@onofomi . Actually, she is quite beautiful--both asthetically and intellectually! But what is your reason for not making an appreaence and sharing your thoughts by way of video? Are you really ugly or just insecure and stupid? I'd wager that you once attempted to do so, but no one was interested in your moronic, incoherent ramblings! Tell me!

[onofomi]

@freetaught dude i was pretty angry at the world for what previously happened to me so my fault .. am not ugly but yes i am self conscious and i bet she is as if not more beautiful as you say she is.

[1415gateway]

Don't explain why you don't, or if you don't believe in god, makes you sound angry at God.

i would never explain why Santa doesn't exist, i just know there for needs to explain the obvious, makes you sound silly, and that's a pity with that sweet, cute accent

[tgz1000]

You know not collecting stamps would be a hobby if I spent all of my time talking about how stupid stamp collectors were and attending stamp collecting conventions telling people that their stupid stamp collecting hobby is ruining the postal system by taking valuable stamps away from the public and that stamp collecting is the source of the world's every evil.

[gnawaserge]

if youre blind, how are youi gonna see my comment?

[5amGordon]

very carefully.  :3

[sheidogirl]

its not really a scottish accent-its like half english or welsh or something

[godgirl72]

it takes more faith to believe there is no God than to believe there is! God is real! He is alive!

[Noah2112]

I just realized I hate Scottish accents.

[eddygoombah]

i don't know... i think they are uber sexy!

[5amGordon]

agreed 100%

[TheRealScarr]

She actually sounds more Welsh than Scottish, like Eve Myles, I wonder if she's as hot as she sounds

[Noah2112]

No, It Scottish. You are wrong.

[tieW221]

don't expect God to give up on you.. however, when your time finally comes, i just hope you'll be able to make the right decision by then

[freetaught]

I choose life. Living it freely!

[tieW221]

saying something isn't real won't diminish it from existence. i respect your idea. it just won't change facts. your choice

[thebeardedone]

Gosh, if only there were some evidence for the existance of souls or of heaven or hell. Sadly, only two-thousand-year-old books seem to support those claims. In the age of Science, there is Zero evidence for any of that supernatural bunk.

[tieW221]

you can argue against Hell philosophically all you want until you eventually find yourself there for all eternity. rather trust in Christ

[Atheistblindchick]

Pascal's wager hasn't worked for ages, you rephrasing it won't suddenly make it work...

[tieW221]

hmm. well, your being angry at a God you say doesn't exist is pretty illogical. if He's so fake to you, why waste your time trying to prove His nonexistence? why such negative emotions about what you call a "nothing"? why run away from something that's not trying to hurt you?

[freetaught]

I am not angry with god, ever heard of SARCASM? It's something many theists say that atheists are, and if you actually saw the video, I argue WHY I oppose religious people, not a god that does not exist...

Then again, I might be expecting too much from you, you know, to actually expect you to listen to my video... Silly me...

[tieW221]

i just stand by what i believe in.. your choices, your problem

[freetaught]

@Tie, I don't have the luxury of "believing" in whatever I WANT. The things I hold to be true are based on logic or evidence.

[tieW221]

look, why are you so scared in believing? this world's done nothing good for me, and it's just empty. part of the reason why i'm still replying is that i don't want you to end up in and eternity in hell

[freetaught]

@Tie, The reason why I have so much difficulty,not fear, with believing that your god exists is the same difficulty that most adults have with believing in the tooth fairy.

As far as hell goes, If your god were real and were willing to throw me into hell simply for not believing in it's existence, then your god would be a tyranical bastard who is unworthy or anyone's love.

It's a shame that people have conditioned you to live with such fear. You don't deserve that.

[tieW221]

that may be, and we are destined for that, but He's given a way out of that

[Atheistblindchick]

WHO exactly destined us for that? We did not, your god did...

Basically, he's the one who apparently will send everyone to hell, but wait! He has a cure... I think the maffia have similar practices...

Is this love to you? Then you do not know what real love is.

[tieW221]

we didn't used to be, but because of our transgressions, we fell short of the standards, and such act is a one way ticket to hell.. however, God made a way out of hell.. i'm pretty sure you know what that is

[freetaught]

Who decided what is a transgression? Who made hell?Who made man?If the answer to all of these questions is God then he is an insecure piece of shit who doesn't deserve friends.Some people like me and want to be my friend, others do not, while others may call me names and dislike me,despite acts of kindness toward them, but do you know what--just because they reject me doesn't mean that I'd send them to hell for eternity. If you can't see how warped your conception of god is, you need help!

[tieW221]

well, nothing you can say will change my mind.. there is a God. period

[freetaught]

@tie

This is where you and I differ. You see I could change my viewpoint regarding God if ever there were evidence for it or if a logical reason to believe in God's existence were to come to light.

When a person says, as you just did,

"I believe what I believe and that's it", they are close-minded,not intellectually honest, and thus hold the inferior position. And yes, I agree, if this is the way yo choose to think, then I cannot change your mind!

[freetaught]

@Tie, what part of my comment are you addressing?

When you say "that may be", to what are you referring? What may be?

What is "that" which we are destined for?

What has god given us a way out of?

Your comment doesn't seem to address my entire previous comment, and you seem to expect me to intuitively know what you are referring to.

[Atheistblindchick]

Oops,. my love was still logged in on my computer... Sorry for the confusion, but it was I, ABC who made the comment logged in as Freetaught...

[lyricalway]

@tieW221 i agree with you

[JuggB]

@Atheistblindchick When you die you wont exist like you wont be able to see, hear, think, smell, touch, talk... You wont be conscious at all.

[ramio1983]

Beautiful accent, but a thing i noticed is the way you talked in the video never made it appear that it was your view/opinion or idea that God does not exist, you talk as if it is factual, hence it really narrows down your view point.

[ieatmusic1]

The lord, the lord he is angry and will strike thee... lol. Yes people need to evolve and think for themselves. Is the universe part of a master plan? Highly unlikely, we have no idea how far it stretches so the chance for correct conditions for life are small but completely reasonable. The universe as we know it has been reproducing with gallaxy collisions, nebulas and SMBK and therefore may have been doing this for an eternity. If there is a creator, then he doesnt know or care about us.

[DeEastSanJo]

Hi Abc. Your post makes a lot of sense. It IS silly for people like me (who claim to follow Jesus) to keep trying to convert people who have heard and rejected the message of salvation while we so miserably fail to genuinely live out our faith. We have a lot to learn.

On the issue of abortion though, I argue against it not just out of spiritual conviction, but because I truly believe it denies the most basic of civil liberties - life - to those who are most defenseless.

Peace to you.

[ButchHolyday]

btw why are you so angry with God snd you dont believe in Him???

[Atheistblindchick]

If you have to ask, you didn't watch the video... The title is a thing we call "sarcasm"...

[ButchHolyday]

Its not what i do or say that defines me ...its what I believe... that makes me who I am......and if people call me christian then thats a great label. but im not worried about being call that...Labels dont matter...I know who I am in Him.

[tasidar25]

I can understand where the 'Angry Atheist' phenomenon comes from. Some people making thier way out of religion are gonna have some hang ups. Its not the kinda crap you give up in one day.

Skunk Anansie is one of my favourite bands btw. Skin, the lead singer is so damn cool.

[scruffstaa]

Your beliefs are silly. The same way that none can prove the existence of God you can't disprove his existence. What do I have to loose for having a little faith in a higher being? I accept God and Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior. P.s. you music is horrid, look up offspring. I pray your taste in music improves... i'm sorry for your lack of vision, it must be terrible for you. But you can't argue with me that EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON!:d

[Atheistblindchick]

But I can and I do. A lot of things do not happen for a reason. I understand that it makes you feel better to think there is some plan behind things that are random, but a good feeling does not mean it's therefore real...

You're right, I can't disprove god, but the onus is still on you. I don't claim anything, you are the one that claims:

1 there is a god

2 it's your god

3 you know what it wants

4 you are "saved"

5 there is some kind of plan

None of these things you can actually proof...

[Atheistblindchick]

and you lack serious musical understanding if you don't know skunk anansi... sad really

[tayb13]

so if you dont belive in a God how do you that the world came to be. do you just think that something came out of nothing. so what who do you belive in what. unless you belive that jesus christ came and died for you then you will spend forever in hell!!!!

[Atheistblindchick]

I smell a straw man... Ah, the old something out of nothing argument... No atheist actually claims that, I don't believe something came out of nothing. I simply don't know... I know that the big bang is the origin of the universe as we know it, what was before, if there was a before, I do not know... You claim to know all, a claim you can't substantiate... And you claim that something came out of nothing... Did god not just poof it all into existence?

[tayb13]

no im never said i know everything because no one does....but when i get to heaven then i will know so i meant you have to go on faith.

[Atheistblindchick]

you claim to know there is a god who created all... Now, that is a pretty big claim... In fact, by making such a claim, you end all enquiry into the nature of things, since you have the answer, goddidit...

Faith is just another word for wishful thinking... However appealing that idea might be, if it isn't the truth, then why believe it?

[entheogensmurf]

The first cause of this universe is a bit of a paradox for our brains. It's that simple.

It is just as easy to believe that this universe began as a result of multiple outside-of-this-universe events. No deity required.

Read the book Flatland and watch the Flatland movie. It may help bring perspective as to why it's so puzzling when you attempt to see beyond.

There has not been one reason to suppose an intelligence, especially in regard to how the plebs of this world perceive "god."

[marcluc1988]

taby13, How do you think God came to be? Do you just think that God came out of nothing?

[OreoVII]

tayb, with your logic, you have twice the problem of the whole 'Big Bang from Nothing' theory...

With your logic, you believe that one entity the most powerful thing ever conceived (how lucky for us), comes magically from nothing, then MAKES everything else, matter, time, space, all other concepts, from nothing...

What religion were you tayb, before becoming christian? Any other religion? Were you always christian?

Did it ever cross your mind that you may have been 'brainwashed'?

[Blackardis]

Man are the supreme beings of this planet.

[RabbitEars001]

I do believe in a supreme being, but I totally agree with the sad logic of "-ists". Rules and laws are the way humans promote a general welfare. 400 years ago, that meant the welfare of royalty to the exclusion of the common. Would people have developed "egalitarian" laws without the conflicting pull and tug of good religion and bad religion to alternate as the examples of virtue and evil? Not that athiests did not make great contributions, but was the religious milieu the incubator? Peace

[mungbeanman]

Triple scoop of win all smothered in a winning Skunk Anansie hot fudge sauce. And sprinkled with hundreds of thousands of win.

Loved it. Yet again.

[therealeeeo]

Keep it up-Everyone else is boring me for the most part.

[BayerLexan]

Before I realized the option of atheism, I used god as a scape goat that I blamed for bad things, which lead me to 'hate' the invented deity. Of course realizing I used it as a way to vent anger didn't occur to me until quite a while afterwards.

[simplydaft]

Exquisitely well reasoned and splendidly delivered.

[politicomark]

I am often amused when people of "the book" can't even live up to the standards of their own teachings, and yet, expect me to fall in line with their dogmas, and thoroughly understand their book, like it has any meaning in my life beyond the prejudices it vents my way. The idea people don't believe in their god (in some cases) is just too much to handle I guess, and blows their stilted minds.

[blackwolf1272]

It's even more amusing that it's simply not possible to live up to those standards - and the fundies are fully aware of that and think that's what makes us all bad, so we're forever dependant on YHWH's mercy. They just don't realize the contradiction.

Perhaps to justify clerical aspirations to power and influence, perhaps because the men who wrote the texts (and most of the believers of today) weren't clever or diligent enough to spot it, perhaps both and more. Genesis/=logic, fuddle follows.

[Katalyzt]

Very well said...

Katalyzt

[KasparHauser4]

When I told the people of Northern Ireland that I was an atheist, a woman in the audience stood up and said, "Yes, but is it the God of the Catholics or the God of the Protestants in whom you don't believe?"...... QUENTIN CRISP:

[amberview30]

good vid!

[MistressDracona]

I love your voice...the accent is cool :)

[8journey8]

You offer so much food for thought in your videos, and I don't want to miss anything...I do want you to turn down the music a bit so I can hear you better...it is probably just me, but I have a hard time following your voice when the song lyrics are competing for my attention. Part of getting older, maybe, but it's a real challenge to me.

[kingmike40]

I feel the same about the background music. I like to hear her voice the nut screaming into the microphone is annoying.

[Eldxale]

You were without power for a few hours? How did you see... uh... I mean... how did you watch the tele... uh... how did you go without listening to the radio? Yeah, radio.

[Atheistblindchick]

You do know what usually occurs about 9 months after a power outage, right? LOL

[Denamic]

Yeah, the darkness kinda does that to people, I've noticed.

Wait, does that mean you're always.. no, nevermind.

[eequalsfb]

It's really easy to be angry about the real world effects that a belief in god causes, but apparently it's really hard for believers to understand where that anger is directed. I think we've all heard this one.

[Atheistblindchick]

It's very common... They seem to be confused, I hope that some will understand now...

[Eldrave20]

I am sometimes accused of being angry at "God" also.

I find it odd that people don't understand, or intentionally misunderstand my position on religion. Most of which are Americans. Think on that for a moment...Americans.  A secular nation by every definition of the word.

What's worse are those that seem to think Atheism is a religion, when nothing could be further from the truth.

Excellent video.

[Atheistblindchick]

thanks!

They just don't seem to understand that atheists really do not believe in their god...

[eddygoombah]

damn, who was that in the background? Selling Jesus again? That kicked ass.

[Atheistblindchick]

Yes, I love Skunk Anansie... I love Skin!

[morsec0de]

I have a problem with Crumple-Horned Snorkacks. They really peeve me.

[Atheistblindchick]

No one has ever seen one! Ask Hermione...

[morsec0de]

But...but...Mr. Lovegood had one of their horns and everything! Shame it went and exploded...

[Atheistblindchick]

That wasn't a crumple-horned snorkacks horn and you know it! That is actually why it exploded, remember?

[morsec0de]

How dare you deride my heartfelt beliefs!! How dare you contradict me with logic and common sense!

[Atheistblindchick]

I am so sorry... You know what, I shall let you have your next crumple-horned snorkack horn, even if it might explode... Because it's better to be blown to smithereens than to have to let go of your heartfelt beliefs...

[morsec0de]

Obviously. ;)

[XGralgrathor]

Something peculiar:

While it appears that theists are much more afraid of being wrong than atheists in matters of the supernatural, it should actually be the other way around:

If they're proven wrong about gods existing, he will have never existed, and they can happily go on living their lives - pretending there's a god anyway, no doubt.

If proven wrong about gods not existing, suddenly we're faced with the knowledge of some entity trying to control our lives, powerful enough to destroy us.

[FalleJr]

Thanks for a very informative video. Not that there is anything wrong with your choice of music, but it gets a bit hard to focus on your message when the music is playing in the background.

5 stars

Peace!

[crg64]

Exactly.I can't understand why theist think we are angry at a god.We simply don't believe.I just don't want them to force their beliefs on me.

[Darwinsgift]

When I was young I had an invisible parrot friend. I remember my music teacher talking to it and thinking .... shall I tell her it's not real!

[Atheistblindchick]

LOL

Yeah, it's sometimes almost heart breaking when you have to tell someone some things aren't real...

[QualiaSoup]

"I have no contract with your god."

Sums it up perfectly. Theists expecting me to live by the claimed values of their god is like the company down the road deciding my lunch hours.

Excellent video as usual ABC!

[Atheistblindchick]

Thank you!

[AmericanWayne]

That's funny that you are mad at something you don't believe in. I'm mad at the tooth fairy.

[Atheistblindchick]

Me too! I just have the feeling she's skimming... And what does she use all those teeth for, eh? Makes you wonder...

[Denamic]

She's a major figure in the underground black market for used body parts.

[ClosetAtheist]

But I am an angry atheist! Very, very angry!

[Atheistblindchick]

I know, you are very very very angry...

Your video was the inspiration for mine, hope that makes you a little less angry?

[ClosetAtheist]

A little.

I'm still angry with God for not giving me enough faith.

[HaleyMary]

Well said. I don't think it's right at all for people to force others to believe in the same things they do. Especially when it comes to medical science. I mean, those embryos that religious people are trying to protect are basically just going to get thrown out anyway, so it's like they are allowing two people to pass on instead of one, you know? Great video. :)

[Atheistblindchick]

Very true. It seems that they believe their god doesn't mind wasting lives, while he does mind using these embryos for a lasting contribution to society... Go figure...

[rowsdowersavesus]

i'm pissed off at god. How DARE he not exist? What a motherfucker.

[Atheistblindchick]

He's a right old bastard! LOL

[chocolatelover627]

i've noticed that most atheist people who make videos say peace at the end but most theist that makes videos dont say anything it usually just cuts off. so much for the peace theists bring lol.

[Atheistblindchick]

Peace!

I really do mean it too...

[freetaught]

The Christians that I encounter on and off of Youtube, as well as in my own family seem to have a very difficult time accepting that there are non-believers; as a young theist, this was the reality that was presented to and accepted by me as well. This is a very good video that explains a very simple concept, but I do not have faith that it will help most Christians understand our position any better.

[freetaught]

I also think that is is unlikely that these very same Christians will keep their god out of our "earthly" laws, because I don't think that they actually have trust that their God is in control of things. I would presume that if we were all going to be judged according to our actions anyway, that these christians would just do their best to live according to god(s) laws and let US live what they believe to be sinful lives, without trying to pass laws against what is "sinful".

[freetaught]

After all, if a Christian locks an atheist in a padded room and restricts him/her from acting contrary to God(s) will, are we to assume that this atheist is likely to go to heaven?

[Denamic]

Unless he commits thought crime.

[Atheistblindchick]

That is a very good point you make!

[Atheistblindchick]

I just hope that because of my, and so many other's videos, some Christians out there will understand that atheists do not deep down believe there is a god.

[discovery2245]

I don't believe in the chrstain god either or anygod for that matter.The christain god is a false god as are all other gods.While I do have some conservative values I don't believe you have to believe in a false mythical religion and a false mythical god to have conservative values.

[DavidRandallCurtis]

I blame Santa to this day for that fraking train set he COULDN'T BE BOTHERED to get me....

Other than that... great fraking video...

[Atheistblindchick]

I so feel for you ;)

[howtofoldsoup]

If you had blamed Thor for the lightning, you would have been out of line. Thor(PBUH) is the god of thunder.

Good video.

[Atheistblindchick]

Lucky for me that I didn't then ;)

[DefaultPosition]

Thor? You don't believe in that rubbish do you?

Ambisagrus is the god of thunder!

Thor?! Lol. What a joke!

[maurieer]

Great video and worth 5/5.

Man and his numerous created gods. Each with their virgin births.

Makes for great fairy-tales.

[xxn3oxx]

One thing I don't understand: why do you put up with this? Why do you care? Why at all bother yourself with any religions?

[farvision]

We bother ourselves with religions because people of every religion are causing disasters all over the planet. Religious people try to take away our freedoms, they kill other people, they inhibit scientific progress (by bothering scientists).

[Atheistblindchick]

Haven't you listened? I explain why I care... Because theists still make immoral laws, still try to rule my life... I don't much care for that, if theists feel their rules are important to live by, fine, live by those rules, but don't make me abide by those horrible laws though, theists should not force me to adopt their views...

[Dalbert342]

Please,hon...don't be angry at fictional characters....great video

[freetaught]

An atheist cares because there are millions of believers that represent hundreds of different gods, each of these theist-activists is attempting to impose their fairy tales on modern rational human being that are trying to live productive and functional lives in reality who do not need to have fantasy laws imposed on them.

[DaveJonesBSNews]

If you've ever been asked this in person and not just online, the asker seems to be the angry one.

[Atheistblindchick]

Comment from 2bsirius: YES! The problem is that if we believe in something or someone who is omniscient and who tells us what to do and what to think, we are robbed of our humanity because humanity exists in our ability to think critically about our actions in the world and about the consequences of those actions for ourselves and for other human beings. Religions don't want real inquiry. In fact, they discourage it.

[Atheistblindchick]

Comment from DefaultPosition:

I'm really p*ssed off with the Slavic deity Belobog.

I'm fed up with the absence of sun here in London, being a sun god it's Belobog's responsibility to sort it out.

So I've decided I dislike Belobog so much that I'm not going to believe in Belobog... let's see how he likes that.

[Atheistblindchick]

Comment from Loreleila: There is not enough evidence to suggest there is a God. But there is not enough evidence to suggest there isn't either. However, personal responsibility is entirely apparent. I make my own choices, bear the consequences of my actions, and no one is required to behave as I do. In the end it is our relationship with life itself, and that can only ever be unique to us. Preaching to others who they should be, whatever it's root, is foolish and unrealistic.

[Loreleila]

DefaultPositions response to me:

I agree we have a challenge finding evidence for very poorly defined deities - which I think all are.

On the other hand I think there's a lot of evidence to suggest that deities are the product of people's imaginations; reflecting the believer's cultural background and their time in history.

To me that suggests that gods don't exist as something independent of people's imaginations. That makes me believe they are not real.

(What happened?)

[Atheistblindchick]

Apparently because of some glitch, I uploaded the video twice... I removed one of the videos, and reposted the comments... I get notified by email, but not of those that are a comment on someone elses comment apparently...

[Loreleila]

Ah I seeeeeeee. Thanks. :)

[Loreleila]

Mankind has huge difficulty in seeing in an all encompassing way, in seeing beyond himself, or in understanding his own psyche. I think often the concept of a deity can help with all of these, but equally can serve to do the very reverse in the hands of those who perceive life in black and white terms.

[kalsolarUK]

well written and thought through as always. The problem is that full on theists find it almost impossible to imagine anyone really really being an atheist and thus they prefer to see it as you being angry at god. They simple cannot accept that you don't believe he exists.

[Atheistblindchick]

True... While we have no choice but to understand that they actually do believe their god exists...

[NemoUtopian]

seems fair,i sometimes find it pretty had to believe that they really believe their their horseshit.

[Barklord]

I think secular societies have done everything that we blame on religious authorities. Ultimately it is just external authority.

[sapperbloggs]

IF god existed, I would be pretty pissed off at it for all the nasty shit the bible says it did... but that would require god to exist first.

Religion on the other hand... I despise.

Great video

[freetaught]

Hey Sap, What are you doing here? Great comment! I feel that there is often a great deal of confusion between how a non-believer reacts to religion compared to what we think about the idea of the existence of god(s). If we could prove that there was a single god(s), we would still be faced with the fact that there are many religions that are not true. Religions, we know, exist, but we have yet to prove that even a single god does!

Agreed. All religions teach their followers that they are on the right path or are the "true" religion. This conditions them to judge, dislike and many despise those that challenge or conflict with their ideology or worldview. It is amazing the power belief holds.

I agree with you, religion can in fact be a very dangerous thing...
