Like if you saw the failed handshake.

Atheism is a non prophet organisation.

5 days ago i was in hospital wired to a heart monitor unable to move when along came a seedy looking woman trying to earn her points to heaven by talking crap about Jesus. Religion always tries to take advantage of people one way or another. Dawkins is right that they hate to be questioned. I hope i spoilt her day as much as she spoilt mine as if it was a bearded man in a turban talking about Allah ide have felt just as violated.

reality is we are all living deads,all your arrogance on a leased breadth? reality is, God is inevitable,inescapable,unavoid­able,lets see how logic and science are going to save you from the real reality.And why is it so hard for atheists to have conversations without hurtling insults around to make their myopic points?

[JamesfromNewZealand]

I know what apostasy is. Do you know what the word reality, logic or science is. See if I am going to discuss this with you I listen to your opinions to see where you are coming from, yet you are so closed minded you just sit there with your head in the sand, it really is quite pathetic. You are coming up with your own secular moralitly, your own ethics, then you won't be lead by some stupid dogma.

one word for you mate ....apostasy....look it up in the bible ....May God bring you back home before you delve too far to a point of no return(sin against the holy spirit).Good luck

Trust me, you have been misled. My Dad has been a pastor for the last 35 years. I grew up on Adam and Eve. I know all the stories. I have researched and learnt about various topics including History, Biology and Science. I call bullshit on Christianity, but my Dad is happy devoting his life to some deity whether or not it exists. Please take your misguided moralising elsewhere. Your not my Father I will give you a serving of truth pie.

athiesm by definition is the belief that there is no god. (<<did you notice the full stop?) You'll probably find that most 'athiests' are technically agnostic as they realize however unlikely it is that there is a god(s) it is unproveable. as for your point on nothing creating nothing blah blah, if you fully understood the physics behind that theory you may come to understand why it may be possible, either way there's no need for a wizard coming from nothing and creating everything from nothing.

Also, the numbers don't really matter,there are about a billion muslims,a billion hindus etc. All fractured and debating about whose believe is the right one? Fighting over it...See Iraq,Afghanistan etc,muslims fighting muslims...In Ireland,Protestants fighting Roman catholics?

Even One God divides people..

Why not go for the Flying Spaghetti Monster? at least its a lot more forgiving than most god's?
