I am not exactly a Christian myself but I have studied Buddhism, Shintoism, Judaism, Catholicism, The Torah, The book of Mormon, Satanism, Greek Mythology and even Irish fairy tales. I have read books on evolution if that is what you mean by atheist books, and I have seen many science documentaries and movies that present evolution. The most recent textbooks I have read that present evolution are Inquiry into Life and Exploring Biology in the Laboratory.I am composing a massive point that will "cream" all Christians, first, you call us close minded, when you would quickly disbelieve in any other god, what is your opinion on the god zeus? on the god osiris? on the god jupiter? and you have the nuts to call us close minded? If you bring me proof of your bull religion I will gladly believe your god, and you refer to your intelligent design/creationism as a theory to try to get on the same page as us, not even in the same literary, a scientific theory is something backed up by solid hard evidence, of which Christianity has none. It has some good idealistics, but no reality to it. Also the argument of "there is a lack of disproving evidence" there is a lack of disproving evidence to flying unicorns. You believe in flying unicorns? Heck no. If you can dis-prove a flying unicorn I will play your game and dis-prove your god. The "holy man" the so called "good guy" in the little devil vs god fight. Killed millions, and not even millions now, he killed millions when the population was in millions. And the idea of "hell is a place with a lack of god" what happened to god is everywhere? What happened to the omnipresent being? Last time I checked, omnipresent meant he is EVERYWHERE. God is a devote supporter of slavery, a supporter of hate and shunning of others. You Christians force your sick ideas onto us. And non-Christians are shunned, killed even. Do atheists kill Christians? No. Because we are higher. The metaphorical bigger man. Take a ride down the Bible Belt in a car saying "gays rule" see how many farmers take their shotguns and take a few pot-shots at you. Cos guess what? The good people of Top Gear already did it. They were chased by a gang wagon of farmers, shooting to kill. This is the crazy **** your kind does. Not all Christians. Some can be delightful, however. More often than not they force their ideas onto you. Jehovah's witnesses use a form of mind manipulation to take you into their religion, I know, my cousin used to work there, they take you in and show you love to entice you. Almost like a minor celebrity, then. If you don't go door knocking you are referred to as weak or spiritually weak. Powerful words to bully you into doing it. You also ask us "where do you get your morality from" the answer is we all have morals, I would hope a book isnt the only thing keeping you from going out and mugging someone. Also you say "you're gonna go to hell" so your god punishes people for asking honest questions? Wow. What a ****. This dude seems like more of a dictator by the minute. Your god has given me this mind to use and you are asking me to close it when it comes to religion. The very thing he made us to follow!?!? And btw the "you just have to have faith" argument is used when I seem to have stumped a christian, its a cop out way of saying "there is no answer I just believe it because it makes me feel good" which is the stupidest reason to believe anything. Explain to me why your god is different to the thousands of others, what validates your god over others? I was religious in the beginning, then like loads of other people I realised the bullcrap. I can almost guarantee you if you ask an atheist about the bible, they will know more about it than a random christian you will pull off the street. We talk about this stuff. A survey was actually done to show atheists understand the bible better. Of course its not a certainty, there is exceptions. But as a general rule. Atheists understand all religions better, we rlly think about this stuff you know, so we, reasonably, know more. Mainly, we know the holes in the religion too. Here is a question for Christians, have you ever read the holy books from other religions? Open your mind. You dismiss those religions but when I dismiss those its suddenly such a big deal. And what atheist books have you read?
Re: A discussion about religion
#1032it was a joke to break the cycle :3 didnt mean it offensively as there is only 1 atheist in the world, but just as they all get "muted off" by Christians and suchCrystal I didnt say 1 atheist book, I was talking about the hundreds of logically based books following things such as evolution. And you Christians dont seem to realise is that even if we are wrong and god is real, you would still be dead without us. Everything you see in a local hospital has had a physicist making it or helping make it. Things such as:
The internet
The x-ray machine
The crane
The bike
The helicopter
The nuclear power plant
And that's just physicists, biology has had way more, from vaccines to hair-growth pills. From hand sanitizer to washing up liquid. Your life would be wrecked without us. Things such as the incubator have saved thousands upon thousands of lives. accept science.

Re: A discussion about religion
#1033Uh... okI don't think we are on the same wave length here....That is what I said before and you called me stupid. What do you think an adulterous relationship is?As I just said. An STD is a disease, I can bang a girl and get clamidia, that girl could have got it from another dude, no homosexuality needing to be involved
By your sex I mean someone of the opposite sex who has had sexual contact with someone else of your sex (just to explain it very carefully so you understand).STD s are sexually transmitted diseases. You risk getting an STD when you have sexual contact with the same sex or someone who has had sexual contact with your sex.

And atheism does not equal science, since you still seem to be clinging to that fallacy.

#1035Ohh right I thought u meant something else ed, we rlly weren't on the same wave length then
Re: A discussion about religion
#1037Ok... um... let's go back then, I guess?Ohh right I thought u meant something else ed, we rlly weren't on the same wave length then
Re: A discussion about religion
#1038http://www.deism.com/deism_vs.htm trying to take over the world. Hmm. I can really see myself backing that.
Re: A discussion about religion
#1039No one has a lack of belief though. Atheist are people who believe there is no god. An agnostic is someone who believes that we do not or can not know if there is a god. So agnosticism is closer to a lack of belief, but everyone believes something.And atheists are just people who have a lack of belief
Re: A discussion about religion
#1040I don't see why people cant believe in themself. Instead of saying "ohh god has plans for *somedude*" why not say god has plans for you? Why not work yourself. You think god didnt put effort into the world? We are all models of god as the bible states, ergo. We have the ability to do everything
