Way to go. Yay you. Yay ignorance.

Well I think you have shown yourself to be an adamant Atheist, good at name calling, adept at belittling others, and you can be insulting at times. You have a zeal for Atheism, but you use religion as your crutch of motivation.

And I want to use this as an example.

Peace.

Nothing is a better example of Adamant Atheism, than Atheist themselves. They like to think their better than christians, which kind of pacifys this elevating ego they have, you know, the inflated ego humans get when they deflate others. They view themselves as the " Right answer for societys woes", just like the christians used to. Then the christians started " Stepping on Atheism", and eventually they began to fall from their perceived perch, Atheist are stepping all on christians, but cannot see their future of falling.

Its the same coin.

And I want to go into that.

Peace.

I am nothing. I don't claim to be anything, I don't qualify as a fraud because I am nothing, and I have not progressed beyond that.

But you should back up your own claims about me and this thread, by divorcing yourself from it.

Peace.

Your writing style is smug, arrogant and passive aggressive.

And I want to go into that.

You are basing this statement on what? The 6-10 atheists who post regularly here? The 10-20 more like myself who post occasionally? Of course most atheists on a DISCUSSION BOARD are going to discuss atheism. Duh. If we did not think that we had something valuable to contribute, we would not be here.

As for the "Right answer for societys woes" (sic), I doubt many atheists will say that this is the reason that they are atheists, or that it is a panacea. I think that many things about religion are bad, but I doubt that if atheism was universal we would all be sweetness and light. We simply would not have religious figures leading people into folly.

Or their convention and rallies where they discuss their disbeliefs in religion? Or the many books and studies published by Atheist that have to do with religion?
The only concern I have about religion is keeping the ignorance and superstition of religion out of my life, out of the laws I live under, and to keep utter idiots like Representative John Shimkus from Illinois who isn't concerned about global warming because he believes god told noah he wouldn't destroy the earth again. That is reckless and minding numbing stupidity, yet this idiot is in a seat of power.

Don't tell me what I can think and do based on your fantasy and superstitions, and we won't have a problem. Don't use fairy tales to ignore science and reality and don't try and legislate your fantasy's rules into my world, as when you do, we got a problem dude.

What is it about gaining popularity and power that causes humans to become Adamant?

What is it about the Atheist mindset that continues to make the same mistakes that all other human groups have made as they gained popularity. One would think that Atheist could have been different and rose above these predictable human weaknesses.

You know gloating because the number of Atheist has risen. Taking pride in their views. Its strange that Atheism is making all the mistakes that christianity made. Many Atheist believe that they make better behavioral decisions than religious people make, they think their better " Humans", the exact same way many christians feel and think.

And I want to take a closer look at this strange dicotomy.

Peace.
Atheism today is a cult. And like a regular cult, it has staunch followers. Such characters abound in the R&P forum

They display every trait that belongs to the cultists. Let them celebrate their newfound religion. I'm happy for them

What you are really saying is;

I can't refute your point, so shut-up.

Atheism can bring on Adamant personalitys the same as christianity can, both are part of the same coin of human nature. In my experience of debate, the two easiest people to dismantle in debate, are Atheist and Christians, because thery are so predictable, and so narrow in their views.

An Atheist can be like a fuse, once you lite them up, they'll just burn from then on, much like christians do when you get under their skin. They view themselves as " The righteous of the world", just like christians do. Atheist feel like society would heal if they just think like they do, just like their " Reflection" christianity does.

And I want to go into this unusual two sided coin.

Peace.
