    Default If Atheism is so "right on" then....

    you ever notice..

    When it comes to the idea of "Atheism" that atheists are NEVER saught after in moments of tragedy? they ALWAYS seek out religous leaders / chaplains etc..

    I can't recall hearing about ANYTIME someone about to die on death row cried out to the "god of self".... or anyone in serious emotional trauma... or about to die in a plane wreck.. etc...

    I'd LOVE to hear from dp's self-professed "godless ones" why that is....

    The answer is as plain as the nose on your face. Why would a person who doesn't believe in a deity make an appeal to one? You don't hear Christians calling out for Santa Claus when the shit hits the fan, do you?

    Religion is personal and should remain that way. Instead of whining about others' lack of religion you should be practicing yours to the letter.

    You've both misses his point, which I take as this:

    When faced with hardships and disaster and Fear, the Vast majority of folk cry-out for God, or to God. Even athiests, perhaps?
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Like for example Cat Stevens was drowning and he called out to God, saying he would work in His name if Stevens was saved. So he became a Muslim, changed his name, and called for Salman Rushdie to be assassinated. Religion is wonderful!

    Uhh.. it's not illogical.. God DID create man and woman in his own image:

    Genesis 1:26
    Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

    27 So God created man in his own image,
    in the image of God he created him;
    male and female he created them.

    He said "Man created God in his own image". Not the reverse. Actually man has created innumerable gods over time, some in his image, some ridiculous ones like a man with the head of an elephant.

    You lost me there. Islam is fake. God is REAL.

    Actually Islam stems from the bastard child of Abraham.... you could say it's a gross "bastardization" of scripture...

    Islam, Christianity and Judaism (including all their warring subsects and mini denominations, cults and so on) all worship the same god in different ways. Monotheism 101.

    The fact that you can't get 10 "believers" to agree on what God is and how to worship it proves that either their all worshipping the same god or they're all worshipping different gods. Which one is it? Even Christians, Jews and Muslims can't agree amongst themselves to the point that they're willing to kill each other over it.

    They are all desert religions created by people who have been fighting over this crap for millenia. They're the same.
