Your very single minded aren't you...
And there is no proof 'God' exists... And 'God' is more a belief than a religion in my opinion...


Where is the proof that you exist? Cause I don't believe that you do.


Someone had to type that message, therefore whoever wrote that message exists.

Um... I'm agnostic. eek Like, you know... a cross between atheist and religious, sort of. No one really needs to know that, though.

Being obsessive-compulsive, I fear to discuss religion as to fear of offending anyone. sweatdrop But I'm also pretty... vicious inwardly, so... if provoked, I will argue. twisted

Religion doesn't cause all the wars they say it does. People only use that as a reason to wage war.

I think Atheism is a good idea, but it doesn't work. Best example I can give is Communism. If everyone was Atheist, alot of wars would be prevented over religion. Then again, this is only a theory.

It might turn into some screwed up version of 'Equilibrium' and I can't imagine the world like that. It wouldn't work practically.

I don't really care. I'm a Christian by name but not a Christian by heart. I don't go to church, I don't pray and I don't think God is watching me right now. One thing's for sure, I know what's right from wrong. It's natural. I grew up being told about these things. I know stuff because of experience. I follow rules to avoid being shunned by the society...to have less problems if possible...to have a decent life. :3

You have to believe in god to believe theres no god. If you're preaching that god doesn't exist you're unwitingly acknowlodging that there is a god.

Religion might not be the reason a government wants to go to war, but that is the justification they give to the populous and the reason that many of the population will be in favor of a war.

Well, yeah, if everyone was an atheist, there would be no religion behind which to hide the true intentions of the government. However, it's also true that they may find something else to wield against the people.

However, I don't think an atheistic society would be any worse off for that than a religiously-based society. At least the tenets of said society would be based on secular reasoning that more people would agree on.

That is completely contradictory. If you say you don't believe in something, how does that mean that you DO believe it? That doesn't make any sense.

It is as sure as a religion, and centralized around a belief.

Sounds like a religion to me.

yeah, I have to agree with the guy who created this about atheism not being a religion. religion is defined as the belief in some higher power, atheism does not believe in a higher power, and thus, by the dictionary's logic, is not a religion. Im not going to get into an argument about whether or not god exists, your all entitled to your own beliefs, I believe in god, but I also think that he has something better to do with his free time than watch over a world filled with small, powerless, and idiotic beings. (yes I just called the human race idiots, that encompasses me as well, so if you want to b***h at me, pay attention to the context)

i would not say it is exactly defined as a belief in a higher power but about a higher power and what an athiest belives about a higher power is that it does not exist and if this argument does not get u then look at budists do you consider buhdism a religion because they do not believe in a god and no budah is not a god he was a prince if u don't believe me look it up
