My First Convert

It's weird calling becoming an atheist a conversion... mainly because it makes it sound like atheism is a religion, which it isn't.

Calling atheism a religion is like calling bald a hair colour.
(Yes I used the 'colour' spelling)

If atheism is a religion then not collecting stamps is a hobby.

@mmysama Because then they will say, well we have the 10 commandments statue in the court house why not make it law. There is no blured line between secularism. Church and state are seperate no matter what that includes decorations and law.

Kudos!

People should learn that science is the law of the universe. The supernatural (religion) is all a lie and doesnt exist.

You're just way off beam with your comments re the definition of the word atheist.

The prefix 'a' denotes being without. e.g Asymmetrical means without symmetry, asexual means reproducing without sex. amoral means without morals - unaware or indifferent to right and wrong.

Babies certainly are atheists. It is the default position. (they're amoral too!)

It is a strictly religious perspective to consider 'denying the existence of gods' to be equivalent to 'denying the gods'.

Athesists would like us to believe that "Atheism" and "Agnosticism" are somehow synonymous. It's like a duck trying to bark like a dog. No one said Agnocticism is a religious belief; however, any logical and reasonable person can't deny the fact that Atheism IS a belief system. Atheists can whine and cry all they want, but a duck is a duck and a dog is a dog. Atheism is not synonymous with Agnosticism. Call yourself whatever you want, but just don't try to keep one foot on each side of the fence

... treatment is a violation of church and state. You *know* this, what don't you understand about that?

[Mozza314]

Look, have I said anything about getting mad about this? Have I said anything about organising protests and rallying in the streets? No. A statue of the ten commandments in a courthouse is not a big deal, but it is grounds to make some kind of complaint because it is a violation of church and state.

If the statue was in the context of some kind of display of all kinds of different moral beliefs from different cultures, that would be great, but to single out one religion and give it special...

So, what was the problem? Do you people rally against interior decor because you are so logical and scientific?

[Mozza314]

I assume not.

[mmysama]

So, did this court try to ratify the ten commandments into state law?
