More religion bashing

[Macky]

I would suggest that you don't need to subscribe to a dogma (or believe that you don't) in order to zealously be extreme.

Well, your suggestion would incorrect kind sir.

Except that all religion is evil?

That isn't a dogma.

 

[Blue Maniac]

It works both ways.

No it doesn't, you've not even read your own post there.

 

[Blue Maniac]

That isn't a dogma.

No, it isn't. It's a statement based on evidence (id est, things you have experienced).

 

[FIF]

You don't need to believe in a dogma to be a zelous extremist. Anyway I need to return to the three word thread for some mental stimulation.

I think we've all made our point anyway.

PS Get that dictionary out again. If you can find 'zelous' I'll pay for your season ticket next year :icon_wink

And that's the best way to leave a discussion.

as an aside, do you believe that there is other intelligent life in the universe (s)

 

[The Major]

What evidence? It's impossible to prove whether god exists or not.

There are good/bad religious people and there are good/bad atheists,no group is better than the other.

Why people can't live and let live I don't understand.We'll all find out the truth when we're dead, why can't you just leave it at that?

 

[FIF]

We'll all find out the truth when we're dead,

Sorry, that made me LOL

Surely only those supporting the religion of the God(s) that exists, if one does would find out. Atheists can only be proved wrong.

Given that there are over a billion trillion planets, I'd say it's possible. Likely, even. But not proven :icon_wink

 

[Blue Maniac]

Sorry, that made me LOL

Me too. I'd suggest that we will not find out when we're dead. And I prefer it that way, I don't want my consciousness existing after I die.

 

[The Major]

Sorry, that made me LOL

:icon_biggDon't appologise, it was meant tongue in cheek. It's an expression I heard years ago, it just sums the ridiculousness of the arguement to me.

PS Darwin wasn't an atheist.

He didn't believe in a god though.

 

[Jeff]

I am most definitely an 'anti-religionist', if such a thing exists. I think religion is a disease.

Antitheist is the word you'd looking for :icon_wink


Guess who owns antitheism.co.uk :icon_bigg

 

[Jeff]

I know of many atheists who are very dangerous.

But I bet none of them do bad things in the name of atheism. Lots of people do bad things in the name of religion.

I think I've covered this one. you should have got here an hour os so ago. I'm all discussed out for tonight.

 

[Jeff]

I think I've covered this one.

I don't think you have.

Can you name one person who has committed murder in the name of atheism?
Can you name one war that was started in the name of atheism?

There are good people and there are bad people. Religion can make good people do bad things. Atheism doesn't make good people do bad things.

I didn't think he had either really, but Macky and I wore him out earlier :icon_bigg I'd be willing to excuse him for not arguing back.

But yes, you're right.

 

[The Major]

He didn't believe in a god though.

He became an agnostic, same as me.

Can you name one person who has committed murder in the name of atheism?

I named 2 in the post that you quoted.

Can you name one war that was started in the name of atheism?

Soviet invasion of Afghanistan?

 

[Jeff]

I named 2 in the post that you quoted.

No you didn't.

 

[The Major]

No you didn't.

Pol Pot, Mao Se Tung (spellings)

PS Darwin wasn't an atheist.

Call me old fashioned if you will, but I class those 2 as murderers.
