I have a few good quotes for this one. Dreaded Anomaly Send a noteboard - 29/02/2012 03:29:22 PM
"Calling atheism a religion is like calling bald a hair color."

"Atheism is a religion like abstinence is a sex position."

That pretty much sums it up.

Do you know the best way to anger an atheist? Dark Knight - 28/02/2012 07:10:57 PM 1786 Views
Or, you could baptize one of them, posthumously. nossy - 28/02/2012 07:32:48 PM 1118 Views
Ooo that is hilarious *NM* Dark Knight - 28/02/2012 08:22:19 PM 401 Views
I can't think of any reason for an atheist to be annoyed by that. Tim - 28/02/2012 11:08:44 PM 884 Views
Well, for starters, it's really effing rude. nossy - 28/02/2012 11:31:36 PM 911 Views
It is an act of love. Narg - 29/02/2012 12:34:03 AM 942 Views
Everyone does it for that reason? (edits for clarity) nossy - 29/02/2012 10:27:02 AM 831 Views
I have some disturbing news for you... Narg - 29/02/2012 06:42:41 PM 879 Views
For anyone reading this: the guy above is wrong, and I am admitting that to you on his behalf, so nossy - 29/02/2012 07:15:38 PM 883 Views
Maybe without realizing it, you have articulated.... Jeordam - 29/02/2012 07:24:13 PM 744 Views
I actually find that conversation quite interesting. nossy - 29/02/2012 08:18:35 PM 873 Views
Re: I actually find that conversation quite interesting. Jeordam - 29/02/2012 09:07:06 PM 896 Views
I cannot possibly agree more with these two paragraphs of yours... LadyLorraine - 29/02/2012 09:28:09 PM 907 Views
I'm surprised to see some of this. nossy - 01/03/2012 12:11:31 PM 756 Views
I find the Fall perhaps the most interesting part. Joel - 02/03/2012 09:05:29 AM 1260 Views
Re: I find the Fall perhaps the most interesting part. Jeordam - 02/03/2012 06:26:06 PM 1043 Views
There are 3 critical distinctions: 1) Ability to sin, 2) Awareness of sin and 3) Appreciation of sin Joel - 05/03/2012 04:08:36 AM 802 Views
You said it was really effing rude. Narg - 29/02/2012 08:18:40 PM 924 Views

Question snoopcester - 29/02/2012 07:58:32 PM 938 Views
No, I don't blame them or think they are fools. Narg - 29/02/2012 08:41:13 PM 832 Views
It is not an act of love to defy the beliefs of a loved one. LadyLorraine - 29/02/2012 02:32:45 PM 987 Views
Rape? That is ridiculous. Narg - 29/02/2012 05:26:13 PM 899 Views
It's a bit of hyperbole, but not too far from it, imo LadyLorraine - 29/02/2012 05:45:39 PM 921 Views
You are trying your best to not understand. Narg - 29/02/2012 07:12:57 PM 904 Views
I suspect that that is where a lot of the issue with it lies. Chas - 02/03/2012 01:33:43 AM 955 Views

Bad example Praziquantel - 05/03/2012 05:06:21 AM 981 Views
"Spiritual rape" might be going a bit far, but otherwise that sounds about right. Joel - 02/03/2012 08:06:48 AM 960 Views
Why would they be angry about that? Hieshyn - 02/03/2012 01:23:56 AM 1058 Views
Denying people rights since it was written 3000 years ago? jh - 28/02/2012 07:44:02 PM 842 Views
Isn't religion different than faith, though? Nate - 28/02/2012 07:44:07 PM 948 Views
Yeah that's pretty much what I said Dark Knight - 28/02/2012 08:21:56 PM 734 Views
Only if I get to be Pope. Nate - 28/02/2012 08:25:45 PM 860 Views
I love me my vices! Thanks Pope Dark Knight - 28/02/2012 10:14:27 PM 733 Views
Generally the same way you piss off anyone else Isaac - 28/02/2012 08:43:04 PM 867 Views
Great post. Narg - 28/02/2012 09:18:38 PM 846 Views
I find that the best way is to smile. Dannymac - 29/02/2012 06:23:50 AM 866 Views

that won't work on Buddists Yunalesca - 28/02/2012 09:21:48 PM 880 Views
On the other hand ... Nate - 28/02/2012 09:28:27 PM 720 Views
For some reason I always imagine Buddhists as the monk class on RPG games... *NM* Dark Knight - 28/02/2012 10:13:27 PM 446 Views
LOL same *NM* ironclad - 28/02/2012 10:31:38 PM 426 Views
That's always been my view of the issue. Half-assed non-religious types are just as obnoxious too. Cannoli - 28/02/2012 10:34:12 PM 1094 Views
Seems a got both a pat on the back and a scathing rebuke. I call that a good day Dark Knight - 28/02/2012 11:57:45 PM 1173 Views
Best way to anger an atheist, by declaring all atheists are the same. *NM* Roland00 - 28/02/2012 10:38:51 PM 589 Views
Telling anyone what they actually believe will work. *NM* Aeryn - 28/02/2012 10:51:56 PM 415 Views
This kind of works for many, doesn't it? Jeordam - 29/02/2012 06:22:33 PM 751 Views
I'm an atheist, and I consider it to be my religion. *NM* Aeryn - 28/02/2012 10:51:00 PM 400 Views
Common error number 1: "Atheism isn't a lack of belief, but rather a belief that God doesn't exist." Tim - 28/02/2012 11:18:23 PM 1027 Views
I second that DomA - 29/02/2012 03:46:15 AM 841 Views
Curiously, anger at statements of simple obvious facts is a hallmark of religious fundamentalism. Joel - 29/02/2012 10:27:29 AM 941 Views
What you're doing there is defining "atheist" and "agnostic" in a way that suits you, but... Tim - 29/02/2012 11:50:27 AM 764 Views
What I am doing is using the terms as they were universally used until about the time I was born. Joel - 05/03/2012 01:11:21 AM 906 Views
So what do you call this position?: Tim - 05/03/2012 08:43:20 AM 845 Views
I call them both agnostic, but the former leans toward atheism while the latter has no lean. Joel - 05/03/2012 10:53:02 AM 909 Views
See, there you go again, defining atheism in such a way as to make it sound ridiculous. Tim - 05/03/2012 11:21:17 AM 738 Views
Well, is unswerving belief a good thing, or not? Joel - 05/03/2012 11:57:05 AM 966 Views
What's happening nossy - 05/03/2012 02:24:41 PM 953 Views
Conversationally, DKs use of "atheism" at the start of this convo is the only practical definition. Joel - 07/03/2012 03:10:18 AM 1245 Views
Oh really? The guy who was doing it to annoy people? nossy - 07/03/2012 09:53:38 PM 870 Views
The guy who was doing it to annoy atheists based on the terms technical and popular meaning, yes. Joel - 11/03/2012 04:04:36 AM 725 Views
Whatever. nossy - 12/03/2012 12:39:24 AM 1156 Views

I have known very few people who "believe" their religion from rearing and actually understand it. Joel - 29/02/2012 12:08:01 PM 1098 Views
