I'ma first time poster here, but if I may pose a question: What do you guys think of Atheists who choose to demonstrate in front of churches, religious displays, etc? They seem to put Atheists in a worse light then we're already given.

I could honeslty care less if people go to church. Most people that go to church aren't religious at all and really go out of tradition/societal pressures. Or they believe they can sin all they want then go to church and make it all up.
I only really have a problem if the religous try to take their views to a political stage and when that happens I protest congress not churches.

Well ya

Then welcome.
Don't spam.

Hey guys? By the question I posed earlier, I was referring to atheists who choose to put signs about how God doesn't exist outside of churches, in front of nativity scenes, etc. those who try to convince religious persons that they're wrong in all the wrong ways, giving atheists a bad reputation.

Once again I never really cared enough to do something like that.
I do hate it some religious blow it out of proportion and say all atheists are like that.

Holy crap there's a club for this? I wish I saw this sooner!

Why don't you let the people who know what they're talking about and actually make valid contributions to the crew instead of spam sort this out, and you can go watch Hannah Montana, m'kay?
Besides, you don't need proof to show something doesn't exist, just a lack thereof. And any proof that a God exists just hasn't manifested itself. On the other hand, proof of scientific theories as to the formation of the Universe and life, like the Big Bang, Biogenesis, primordial ooze, evolution, etc., are continually being uncovered. Take for example the "Predator X" just found in Antarctica.

The user attacking atheists was a troll.
Get over it. If you really want to talk religion take it to a debate thread in politics or something.

Whenever someone asks me "If there's no God, who created everything?" then I say, "Who created God?"

I said everything has always been there.
What do you say when people say your life is empty without god?

God is a tyrant.

Because a tyrant is one who rules by fear. God uses Hell to control people to follow his ten commandments.

He is no different than a king who states:

"If you do not follow this law, you will be hung."

It only sounds like this:

"If you do not follow my commandments, you will burn in Hell."

Just as much as I hate it when someone says I'm some Bible-thumping, chastity-belt wearing, gullible twat. We're not so different after all, are we?

I tell them to look at my life:

- I excel in school.
- I have many friends.
- I have a loving family.
- I'm a decent programmer/animator.
- I'm great at sports.

The best part is, I didn't pray for it. I use something called hard work to get where I am.

That just seems like a complex question. But really, even if I was a theist I wouldn't feel that an abstract being (God) could get rid of my loneliness, or emptiness.

I would like to join
How can I believe in god, if god doesn't exist?

I don't call all religious that. Only the ones that are. Don't stereotype ateists as hating anything religious.

I don't know why people make such a big deal that Jesus turned water into wine. He was just a magician. David Blaine turned water into fucking coins.

I was wondering, do Atheists celebrate Christmas? Because there are many non-Christians that do.

I do, not religiously of course but as a time of union and giving for friends and family.

Also, I pulled this hilarious quote from an anti-atheist forum:

"My personal favourite is any permutation of, 'Well, if you CLAIM you don't believe in god, then that means you acknowledge that god exists and you HAVE to believe in him not to believe in him! HAH!' I see that one used far more often than it should ever be."

That you don't need religion to lead a happy life. I'm atheist, and whenever I tell someone I am, they're surprised. Probably because so many people sterotype atheists as being mopy, suicide-prone, and condescending fucks.

I do, but more out of because its a fun tradition then religious reasons. Honestly there isn't much religion left in holidays like Christmas and Easter anyway.

On a different note: I was thinking about how if the universe was so complicated already then why do you need a god?
The physical universe in itself is so complicated and even god-like. There is so much about beyond what we understand like how religious say god is beyond our understanding.

Maybe I should elaborate more but honestly I think I made my point.
What Im trying to say is who needs god when there is more then enough wonder in the physical world?

Yesterday, I came to a conclusion.

Theists aren't right. Atheists aren't right either.

Theists have no proof that there isn't a god. Atheists have no proof that there isn't a god.

I'm a aheist so can i join.
