The lie, neatly summed up is: that people who dont believe in God do so because they made an irrational, dogmatic, a-priori assumption that God does not exist.
The truth neatly summed up that no irrational beliefs or dogmatic convictions whatsoever are necessary to not believe in God.
Rational people critically examine the veracity of all the claims presented to them including the ones about God. And since theres no evidence whatsoever that God exists, rational people dont believe in god.
i think you missed what antitheism is, but i like your support of athiesm. antithiesm is completely against the church- belief that the very existence of religion is harmful. That's one step beyond what you were talking about (athiesm).

@txvoltaire I'm sorry to say so but your mother was talking bullshit.The Greek word for brother is "αδελφός (adelfos)".

By the way, I hate to be mean, but religious people are followers of me: a gentleman, a structuralist-scientist, a person who treats the disabled people normal, piano player male young in church, talking of thoughts never hurts a Christian, I'm a god (not literally, but my respect ought to make me be). Greek is the actual language of the Bible, I'm not surprised, Italians copy the Greeks. As the rational person, I was dishonoured, as an irrational person I have dignity higher than any religion

It's simple: the Bible is a history of conjuring tricks (false magic), talking animals and a man who wants us to think He's king despite evidence to the contrary. Religion is healthy for one person: its inventor, and one must sacrifice in the name of the man if it truly believes. I'm not rational, but ghosts are seen, but like surroundings it's all in your head. A religious person is unprejudiced to the silly people, as am I, but my friend Tony, the silly one, is an atheist, me & him'll b frends

Christians who speak only English insist they know what words in Greek and Hebrew mean w/o studying those languages. My mother told me that Greek didn't have a word for brother, only male relative. So Jesus' brothers were cousins because the nuns told her that. The Baptists told me that Jesus turned water into grape juice, even though it says wine in every translation. So much for believing the "literal" word of God!

@SummerSunshine1988 Heh, it would seem as if I almost always caught you online when I was replying to you, and it was at random times, too. Hmmm ~_^
Again, it's been a blast, Summer! Until we meet again!

@TheThirdTheMagical : Not my fault you catch me when I'm online. Whatever arrogance you're referring to I really don't care to hear about. I'm tired of your sarcasm. Have a good life. God bless.

@SummerSunshine1988 Oh, Summer, Summer, Summer... I am deeply saddened by your decision. We've been through some great times together over the last 2 weeks, or so. It just breaks my heart that it all has come to an end, and now, all I'll have left are the memories of our little adventure. I'm certainly going miss your replies to me within 3 mins of me replying to you, your cute arrogance, your persistence... It has truly been a blast, Summer. Take care! ^_^
