not really. I used to be an athiest, but then had to get real and become a deist. athiests all have one thing in common. they are all cowards, because we all know, there is NO such thing as an athiest in a foxhole. so rather than be a hypocrite and a coward, I made a choice.

by the way, religion is blind faith, and so is science. that makes science a religion to the enlightened thinker.

it must be fun to think you know it all and that science can explain everything. I'll just be here chillin in reality.

This doesn't even make sense. Because when people get frightened some seek a higher power to comfort them ...this proves the existence of God?

Do you advocate Heroin use? Because many in those foxholes turned Heroin to comfort themselves.

So an enlightened person is following blind faith? Right.

You make holes in your own arguments. Oh, and um...

How many straw men can you pack into one comment?

There are plenty of atheists in foxholes. Your imagination doesn't change that.

Science is not blind faith, so that's idiotic.

Where did I say that science can explain everything? Go ahead. Search a bit. I'll wait ....

Oh. You can't back up your idiotic point? Why am I not surprised.




I don't want anyone who's stupid enough to think that the world is 6,000 years old to be anywhere near a position of power.

no, it just shows that people who are athiests are cowards because when faced with life and death, they seek comfort. that makes them cowards. I didn't say it proves that there is a god, I said that athiests were cowards.

Obama, Clintons, dont go to church? If they dont believe in creationism, then why go to church unless its only for political grandstanding..

Last I checked, Democrats hold ALL of the power in DC, maybe I'm in a time warp or something but I think they hold all three branches of government..

Or are you claiming that Mike Pence is more powerful than Obama..

for 1, that could be photoshopped. for 2, it is a couple of soldiers on a beach. doesn't really look like a life and death situation now does it. how's that for holes in your argument.

I've never been in the military, but I have been in a few dangerous situtations. Not once have I ever called out to some imaginary man in the sky.

You can't prove:

A. It was photoshopped.
B. They don't have any experience in "the field" or haven't been in actual combat.
C. That atheists call out to your mythical sky daddy when they're afraid.
