    If I may, here's what's convinced billions upon billions of reasonable individuals the world over that the Bible is the very Word of God: http://bit.ly/1197U6R

    Just like most other bible belt kids I was forced to go to church.So of course I belived in god.Then,upon praying for countless nights for god to make my dad stop being such an alcoholic abusive ***** with still no results to this day.

    If there is a god,please explain the dinosaurs for me.Also explain how there are so many different ethnic people if god flooded the world and only Noah and his family were left.

    Christians say, they have a book and what's in the book is true. I say, I have a book about a giant mutant sponge that does my taxes which is also true. They say, their god has performed miracles. I say, so has my sponge. They say, the presence of their god can be felt. I say, the presence of my sponge can be felt. Whatever they say about their god, so say I about my sponge. My sponge is as real and as proven as their god.

    Haha, from my experience that way of thinking is indeed VERY christian. Actually it applies to damn near every religion that has ever existed. The belief that, "you don't believe what I do therefore you should die" is alive and well within the religious community.



    Thank you for the comment, Kevin.

    I completely agree MJ, I think it is just because they are afraid that this is it. They want to believe that they will live forever in some form or another, whether it is an afterlife or reincarnation.



    Logic and reason is a nice thought, but we are illogical, unreasonable animals by nature. People have to grow a long way for them to see what we see.

    The belief in god (and all the associated nonsense) is superstition, but religion is so much more than that. Unfortunately, I can't think of any words adequately convoluted to describe the difference without using a bunch of pejoratives.

    OM, sorry, I didn't see your comment earlier. I have The Quotable Atheist on my list already. It looks fantastic :) I'm also looking at Letter to a Christian Nation by Sam Harris and The Blind Watchmaker by Richard Dawkins along with countless others :)

    Godfree...that's awesome. That argument was obviously not pointless, as she saw the idiocy in religion. The pointless ones are the ones where the other person covers their ears and shouts "LALALALA" when you are speaking with reason. Little boo-boo ears can't stand to hear anything other than their own meaningless dribble. Those are pointless, although I suppose they are good for one reason. They emphasise our points and reasoning, because they make it blatantly obvious that they have no arguments whatsoever.

    The arguments are not always pointless.

    I get pastry for the seniors for our morning coffee, outside the shop stands a sweet little Jehovah witness lady hocking her watchtower. After 9 years we have gotten friendly enough that she took to offering me a magazine for free, I told her that I appreciated the offer but I was an atheist, then the spiel began. After a few minutes I asked her if she could continue her praising of god but without referencing the bible as I find it morally, historically and literally wanting.

    This pretty much ended the discourse, now fast forward about a year, I meet her in the grocery store, she is no longer a witness, she is Unitarian and agnostic and she claims it all started when she was challenged to defend her beliefs without a magic book.

    Lol, exactly BHS, there's just no arguing with people like that because they refuse to see reason. I got another one this morning but I'm tired and I seem to get several a day now so I just ignored that one, lol.



    BHS, I'm your hero?! Sweet, now I can start my own religion. I'll get on writing the "Newer Testament" right now. You can be my pope, BWAHAHA! Lol, I cringed while I wrote that one :P



    Anyways, thanks guys, it means a lot to me :)

    There is also The Quotable Atheist from Jack Huberman; that one is really good too. I just like the title better on the first. :P

    Resem - great job! Im so proud of you. ;)



    About the parrot thing, I would be doing one SERIOUS eye roll. Last I checked Xtians don't even read their own damn bible. Then they want to call the atheist the parrot.



    Might a recommend a book, its totally up your alley: Fighting Words - a Toolikt for Combating the Religious Right by Robin Morgan. Its a really quick read and its good. Its something you can keep going back to.
