Luxury Atheism. LOL ... I have to use that in the future.

Do, you'll seem even stupider, hard to believe that's possible though. religion is for the weak, the stupid and the mentally ill. Nobody with an IQ higher than 14 buys the idiocy of religion. It's pathetic.

Mere unbelief in a personal God is no philosophy at all. -

In 1,000 years, all religion will be gone from Earth forever, thankfully!

Classic bunch of non-argumental fallacies and appeals to 'religious vacuum is evil!' from Peter. I can't believe they're related. Fuck off, Monobrow.

Am i crazy or did Peter just say "it's unwise to be claim to be certain about something we can't know about" ???? ... in reference to Christopher Hitchens???

Wow. .... just wow.

And, Atheism is a word created by the religious to derogate to non-believers. It has no meaning. There is no word for people who do not believe in Santa Claus, they're called Sane. Like Einstein said Mere unbelief in a personal God is no philosophy at all. - Albert Einstein, letter to V. T Aaltonen, May 7, 1952, Einstein Archive 59-059

religion tries to dictate from lies and ignorance, when it knows nothing at all. religion thought the Earth was flat too. Thanks, and Be Well!

You're correct. Japan is 65% Atheist and has higher salaries, lower rates of unwanted pregnancies, fewer abortions, healthier citizens, fewer prisonns, less violence and they refuse to build a nuclear weapon. Morals evolve, like Our planet has, and evolution doesn't favor childish idiocy like religion. religion, as we see with the pope, creates mentally ill criminals and pedophiles that protect one another, like the Mafia. All religions need to be euthanized ...

@eugdog106 Ok whatever, that's pretty random LOL. Anywat, Peter's argument that atheism leads to supporting abortion and an overall lack of knowledge, I disagree. I am an atheist and also against abortion. To me, it is actually the science of the prenatal development and my own thought that leads me to abhor the practice of abortions for reasons of concienience or as a way for people to avoid responsibility, but I am not religious

It didn't work out so well, Europe is a growing Atheist region. Thanks for watching and commenting too!

the prophet mohammed, the founder of islam, tried to conquer Europe.

Good call. In the U.S. the population of christians is 66%, and the prison population is 66%, and they were christians prior to incarceration, but there are 16% Atheists in the U.S. and only .2% Atheists in the prison system. Atheists don't have the same self-righteousness that the religious have. They think they're "in touch" with something higher that justifies their behavior, they are not and it doesn't, ever. bush said he's "a crusader," and attacking Iraq was "a crusade," he's mentally ill.
