Well I didn't ask you specifically, but I've know a few, and they've come out with similarly dogmatic shit.

I know why theists do

No you don't. We welcome our children as the will -and gift - of God.

I would think we atheists would have a justification, seeing as we're generally the smartest people.

You make my day. Once again I joyfully witness the clear arrogance of the happy delusional atheist.

"A coin is turned around before it is handed to the beggar, yet a child is unflinchingly tossed into cosmic bruteness." - Peter Wessel Zapffe

Not only fundamentally wrong, disgusting in its condescending arrogance at that.

salaam.

I suspect I might even know more of that type than you, of both sides. It is interestingly funny to confront them with eachother.

salaam.

(that doesn't refer to yahweh or allah, both monsters)

mmm... If you are going to call God a monster, you should better first realise that Yahweh and Allah are the very same One and Only God. (This information compassionately given to prevent that you go on endlessly repeating the same, thinking that "other language" is the synonym for "other God".)

salaam.

Oh I think the Hindus would have something to say about that...:)

I'm not informed on hinduism, but I have the impression it comes down to worshipping One God by worshipping what they perceive as various "appearences".

salaam.

Hmmmm. Or 'aspects', as they sometimes say.

I suspect that really it's more like standard polytheism than that, and all that talk is just useful for getting by in monotheistic societies.

Then again, most Hindus I know talk about the various Gods like they's talk about Homer Simpson - they seem to regard them more as folk tales and metaphors than absolute truths.

I'm fully aware that I may have been speaking to the wrong Hindus, though.

e2a - I don't mean to imply to any of the more innocent here that Homer Simpson is less than real and literal.
 
As far as I understand Hindu philosophy there's a crucial gap between Brahmin and his manifestations. They're one and the same yet different: Brahmin is ultimate/universal and the manfiestations are partial/particular. That's why the former is abstract while the latter are anthropomorphised.
 
Can we please not talk about religions in here? It really pisses me off, because I don't like theism bullshit. :mad:
 
Classic. :D (that was in response to post 70)

eta dn't know why you want him to get lost, he's quite funny. In any course, it's surely a troll, - I want to know who he really is.

Obviously that is why your OP is full of reference to religion.

Why does it worry you so much? You are by your own words one of the "smartest people" on htis globe. Surely you must have the intellect to mow us down in a flash of verbalised genius, and while doing so have enough intellectual capacity left to find the single convincing argument to convert us to atheism at the spot.

salaam.
 
Sticking to the thread.

Atheists don't have kids, women have kids. Why? They're just made that way.

But I also thought, - to annoy the god botherers was the answer.
 
Aldebaran said:
Look at his OP. (I quoted the confession that he is among the smartest people in my post 62)
He actually says atheists are generally the smartest people. Which, to be fair, is different to saying he's one of the smartest people on the globe.

Since he declares himself atheist that implies being among them, hence one of the smartest people on the globe.

salaam.
 
Atheists and agnostics probably have fewer kids on average than religious people, and definitely fewer than religious fundamentalists.

So assuming that religiosity has some degree of heritability, the world will eventually be overrun by strongly religious people who spurn contraception.

Organised society will start to collapse as food shortages loom, but the fundamentalists won't know what to do about it except kill each other and gibber incantantions.

The kind of logic that you need a theological education to grasp.
 
The kind of logic that you need a theological education to grasp.

Its not really that complex an arguement.

1) Atheists are the smartest people
2) I am an atheist

Therefore

I am amougst the smartest people.
 
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

Wahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Wahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Hahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Lahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
