Don't you know that atheists are cold and immoral people who kick puppies and hate babies? You need to spend a bit more time on these boards, you might learn something from your fellow Christians!

Lol wow!
Can we just keep this site professional and have a civil debate?
We are all very much alike. And just because you may know one mean atheist that was mean to you doesn't mean we're all like that. Knowing I am a atheist these christans would go to my house and give me lectures and were very annoying, but I don't think ALL christans are annoying

For the record, I was being sarcastic. I thought it was kinda obvious but with the crazy beliefs some people hold, I guess you never know

Well thanks for clearing that up, I'm not the greatest to sense sarcasm, epically over the Internet

I am not Christian, but I do learn things from some of them. I think some Christians are sharp people.

You can just as easily correlate plucking chickens with religiosity as most people who plucked chickens in our history were likely claiming to be religious.

The fact is however that Religion and religious people were not required to do any of it. There are secular equivalents of all of these things. Religion is not synonymous with charity at all.

Hamass provides social services in gaza. Does that mean they are a good thing? No, they are still a militarised terrorist organisation with a fanatical antisemitic ideology. Louis Farrakan gets young black men off drugs. Does that change the fact that this is a racist crackpot cult? No.

Correlating religiosity with charity is easy to do, but correlation is as far as you get. There is not a good action being performed by them that is precluded a world without religion or theists.

And if Walmart and Burger joints are on your list then I think you may be more desperate that we realised.

I like Walmart, and I like burgers. And I like Farrakan.

North Korea is a state run by atheists. It's a real godless utopia...
