@MrVirtualCoder You said "Those people whom may join the new-Atheism, are Idiots, Morons."

Actually, religiosity and intellect are inversely correlated.

You also said "Atheism is a religion."

The definition of religion is "the service or worship of a god or supernatural entity".

So, again, you are incorrect since atheists worship nothing.

@sergio311 Here we go again, a theist on his high horses, thinking he is special and more moral because he publicly announces he will believe anything. What happens to atheists when they die? Well, same as you pal, we die...and we rot. Sound dull and depressing? Yes it may well do, but tell me, what on Earth makes you think in any sort of afterlife, other than the wish not to die? As we're at it, what makes you so sure a soul exists? Let me guess, an arrogant inner feeling.

@MrVirtualCoder "Grammar says a lot, spelling says even more"

It doesnt say anything. Its a weak attempt to make yourself look intelligent, and it bit you in the ass with "trough". I read what the guy said, i understood it fine. No need to scrutinize every letter. No one is perfect, and that includes you. Grammar Nazis are a dying breed because eventually, they screw up and humiliate themselves.

@MrVirtualCoder "wants to argue trough the use..".....'trough' what is this nonsense?? oh I see,your not just an idiot,your the kind of idiot that throws stones when he lives in a glass house...YouTube is getting full of twats like you...roflcopter

[MrVirtualCoder]

@PAULOcbi I will list all the fallacies your made in your statement(s):

"YouTube", "is getting", (missing punctuation mark here, instead there is a comma), 'improper use of "ad-hominem"', "werse", ( - both spelling AND grammar errors, that you have made), ("Your" is used in the wrong context here).

Grammar says a lot, spelling says even more. One that wants to argue trough the use of textual-words, surely needs to be able to use them correctly.

[PAULOcbi]

@MrVirtualCoder YouTube is getting full of twats like you,when you`ve lost ground on your debate you resort to ad-hominem,but even werse you resort to pointing out grammar errors...lol. Your right up there with the great religious debaters...lol.

[MrVirtualCoder]

@PAULOcbi Still haven't picked up on the spelling, i see?

[PAULOcbi]

@MrVirtualCoder Gimme a break... 'Mass belief' ?/ There is 'mass belief' ...lol..in LunarLandings,GlobalWarming,Ho­locaust...does that make GlobalWarming believers religious too.???..like I said your an idgit,you can always spot the idgit `cos his stupid comments litter the whole page with nonsense.and ad-hominem  hey thats you!!..lol

[MrVirtualCoder]

@PAULOcbi Listen, little child. For every word and term, there follows a definition.

For religion it is "Mass belief". When people join the belief in the non existence of a deity, it is INDEED a religious position - furthermore it is mass belief -- hence religion.

Now, go back to elementary school and learn some English spelling.
