"I find it frightening that over 55% of doctors surveyed said that their religious beliefs influence their practice. In fact, I find it rather curious that people who have received a college education with a strong emphasis in the sciences still…"

Any Christians please riddle me this...'Ian Buchanan replied to Merlin Mercer's discussion 'Is atheism included in God's ultimate plan? Any Christians please riddle me this...'"Can you verify that assertion with data? I find it incredibly hard to believe that 40 percent of the most renowned scientists are Christian. That's a very large percent."
Ian Buchanan replied to Daniel's discussion 'Are there any atheists that are against equal rights for LGBT?'"Wait...
You said that letting gays get married will deem marriage worthless in the long run? Yeah, that makes sense, I guess. Wouldn't want the gays to render Britney Spears' 72 hour marriage in Las Vegas utterly worthless, now…"
Ian Buchanan replied to Daniel's discussion 'Are there any atheists that are against equal rights for LGBT?'"Yeah, I always thought that homophobia was reserved for the religious folks... You know, the ones with the large, sloping, neanderthal foreheads."
Ian Buchanan replied to Merlin Mercer's discussion 'Is atheism included in God's ultimate plan? Any Christians please riddle me this...'"My thoughts are such:
1. Christians fight scientific progress all the time. They fight cloning, stem cell research, and just about anything they feel "conflicts" with their religious world view.
2. Christians use technology…"

That comic is so true. Though it makes me sad when I think about it."

Yeah, I've been there before. I find it to be incredibly tactless and tasteless when pastors use funerals as an opportunity to preach about Christianity. These people are grieving over the loss of a loved one, and not…"

Moderate Christians
"So true!
Moderates are just as bad as fundamentalists, in my opinion. In fact, I have more respect for fundamentalists than moderates, because at least the fundies have the courage of their convictions. Moderates are so picky and choosy with what…"
Ian Buchanan commented on wisp's blog post 'Woe is me; I'm a persecuted American Christian.'"Not to mention that if we atheists left the country, that would put a huge dent in America's economy, thus making it so much easier to take over America once we decide to take back what's ours. Plus, we'll have all the smart people,…"
Ian Buchanan commented on wisp's blog post 'Woe is me; I'm a persecuted American Christian.'"Seriously? This idiot thinks that people object to Christianity not because they simply can't believe in all the nonsensical fairy tales in the bible, but because they actually do believe, but just feel like rebelling against god? What the…"

Ian Buchanan replied to Mr Good Without God's discussion 'Single Best Argument For God?'"Same old shit from the theists. I'm offended that this preacher actually thinks that atheists lack morals.

Being an Atheist is nothing to be ashamed of. I'm proud to call myself an Atheist. To me, the word Atheist… Continue
