    Only when he says his unfalsifiable beliefs are better than my unfalsifiable beliefs.


    So? Theists kill other theists don't they, even within a religion? No big deal. He was a narrow minded atheist with no vision or intellect. There are plenty of those. He not only killed people who opposed his beliefs he killed everyone who opposed him.

    The athiest regime in Soviet Union sent people to the gulags for showing up late on work too. Militant atheists are crazy people.:shrug:

    Okay then, so let's say hypothetically that you believed in teletubbies partying underground under the planet Pluto (we can't prove that), and I say that there aren't any there (we can't prove that either). Me telling you and explaining why your belief is absurd is evangelism?

    Lets say you believed that the teletubby evolved from natural selection. And I insisted it was created on Pluto. If I insisted I was right (even though neither of us could prove it) would it be a scientific hypothesis?

    You see, you were totally unable to make any connection between what Pol Pot did and atheism.

    Theist rants are all you evidently provide.

    Considering that atheists have no code or creed, they just make it up as they go along. Which is why you'll find officially athiest states killing people for wearing glasses, laughing inapproriately, being born deformed, reading bibles etc. Its called independent thinking, athiest style.

    You continue to demonstrate my point and fail at demonstrating yours.

    No connection of Pol Pot to atheism yet? What a surprise.

    Atheism is falsifiable. The God delusion isn't.

    Accusing the non-belief in a God of leading to murder is like saying the temperance movement could lead to murder of drinkers of alcohol.

    The US is not an example of an atheist state. Although secular in nature, it contains more fervent believers than most European countries.

    Go right ahead and prove it.
    Except when athiests declare they are setting up an officially athiest state, write a plan to wipe out God from society and eliminate thiests to eliminate thiesm.
    So the war on Iraq is a religious Crusade? Interesting.

    You can act the idiot all you want, but you have yet to demonstrate your silly claims.

    You've made no connection to Pol Pot's deeds and atheism, other than the fact you stated he was atheist.

    When I see an atheist destroying temples, banning religion and killing believers or putting them in re-education camps to unlearn their religious beliefs, I always think. Gee, this has nothing to do with atheism.

    But when I see a thiest putting an athiest to death, I always think. Thats because of religion!

    Sam,

    Let's say hypothetically that you believed in teletubbies partying underground under the planet Pluto (we can't prove that), and I say that there aren't any there (we can't prove that either). Is me telling you and explaining why your belief is absurd evangelism?

    And that narrow-minded, biased, puerile view is why your responses are so idiotic.

    [That atheism is falsifiable.]
    Something like a large, perfectly formed rectangular slab of black rock, buried on the moon.

    So what? Atheism is a philosophical position on the supernatural, not a moral code. One could murder people based on the belief that religion must be abolished by any means necessary, but that isn't atheism. One could murder people for any number of reasons, but historically, the most popular reason is religion. Murder isn't an atheistic trait, it's a human trait, which religion doesn't abolish. Atheism doesn't set itself up as a plan for society, leading to utopia. Our problems as humans transcend that of ideology. No ideology will save us or bring peace, none. Religion has already proven ineffective in preventing moral outrages. Atheism too, but it never claimed to do so.

    Wake up and smell the ritalin, YOU are the one that implied the US is an example of a non-theistic state, and gave the invasion of Iraq as an example of it's moral misbehavior.

    Nope thats not it.
    Unless people who call themselves athiests take the position of certainty and attack theists for their belief. Atheism is after all the rejection of thiesm.


    Just confirming. Its a Crusade right?



    Only if you write a book and make tours around the world to proclaim what you believe while denouncing what I believe, especially if what I believe is also what you believe I believe rather than what I really believe.




    Actually thats your view I was trying on for size. Doesn't fit. Too narrow...:m:

    Is it evangelism, Sam?

    Then a billboard on Mars, "God wuz here".

    That's a personal problem, not a problem with not believing in God. I could want to kill all smokers, same thing.

    If it were, it's the fault of Right-wing Christian fundamentalist Republicans. I happen to think they only worship money. Why didn't the most overtly religious President in history stop the war?
