secular student groups? What's the point? Support groups?

[healthyaddict]

Community and activism.

[pixelsgold]

Do people have to deny the existence of a creator to join your group?

If you really want to help humans in general, no matter who they are, why not join any of the non-religious organization that already exist. They don't give a damn who or what you believe in, as long as you have a pair of willing hands and a strong back

You're an organization pushing anti-religion in the name of good deeds, why not just do the good deeds and let them speak for themselves.

[healthyaddict]

Nope - we have religious members.

Way to make assumptions.

[Fuzigish8]

So there's a group helping atheist people deal with the pointlessness of their existance?

[k2plasma]

take your cloths off :D~!

[Deathy666x]

@timm9 Lol, your fucking ignorant, If its an atheist organization, they probaly wouldnt state that in the title. Less people would donate seeing how this is a mostly religious country.... Try to think with your brain, and never speak in absolutes, more then likely youll be wrong.

Ashley Paramour? Of course that's your name. Strange the Vital Spark foundation doesn't have a web page.

[jigglesnap]

cute. also tl;dr.

@ananiasacts People could have stopped Hitler without major sacrifice in the 1930's, but too many of them just rationalized away his behavior, saying he doesn't pose a threat to peace.

I know you mean well, but you are in denial about the menace that God poses. I hope you, and others like you, will come to your senses before it is too late.

[ananiasacts]

@acr08807, God, the being, can't be stopped because he doesn't exist. God the meme is most likely unstoppable as well because we don't have that kind of control over our minds. It's a bit like getting rid of crabgrass. A network of roots you can't see has interconnected the entire garden.

Only a more compelling rival theory that is somehow able to outcompete with the god meme is likely to genuinely replace it. Science can do that to some extent, but it's like mastering 1000 bibles to learn it.

[acr08807]

@ananiasacts Yes, a common enemy is the best way to unite humanity, and God IS our common enemy. And I know exactly how to defeat God, too--the Bible tells us that there is one power in the universe greater than God, and that is the iron chariot. We CAN and MUST stop God!

[ananiasacts]

@acr08807, Gosh, I'm only sorry I have but one soul to condemn to an eternity of torment in protest of god's tyranny. But isn't a common enemy the best way to unite humanity?

I think we should ferret out the exact list of memes that make up the various religions and try to design one that isn't as toxic but still compels those who need a Santa Claus to feel as if there really is one. I think that's what guys like Dan Dennett are up to. So there is cause for hope.
