"You are just mad at god"--Are we actually encouraging this by mistake?

You've all heard the claim that we aren't really atheists, we are just mad at god. (Or you will see such things as "so and so claims to be an atheist.")Today, though I saw an argument in chat with a…Continue

SteveInCO replied to Gallup's Mirror's discussion 'Extinct humans'"I was able to shut down a creationist rant one time by listing just SOME of these names.

SteveInCO replied to Gallup's Mirror's discussion 'It's official: God determines the outcome of sporting events'"That is an absolutely hilarious comic.

SteveInCO commented on Jeremy Williams's blog post 'Religious People'"They are used to dealing with people who already believe in not just god, but the god of the bible, and the bible itself.

SteveInCO replied to Gallup's Mirror's discussion 'Bill Nye "heartbroken and sickened": debate with Ken Ham helped fund Noah's ark construction'"Well as bad as this is--I wonder how many fence sitters on the issue will see the debate and be persuaded the right way? That would at least salvage something from this mess.

SteveInCO replied to Dustin's discussion 'Are those that eat meat and are aware of the arguments for vegetarianism bad people?'"The question in the title makes the assumption that if you are "aware" of the arguments, you will necessarily be compelled to agree with them, and that the ONLY reason you won't then become a vegan is because you are bad. It…"
SteveInCO replied to IkeArrumba's discussion 'Atheists reach out to conservatives'"To be sure CPAC was founded by the Xian right so this last is to be expected of them. The astonishing thing (to me) is that they extended the invitation in the first place, not that they later withdrew it."
SteveInCO replied to IkeArrumba's discussion 'Atheists reach out to conservatives'"Except that he didn't. At least he didn't warn that rights coming from Jebus was nonsense; Jefferson was a deist, his choice of words in referring to god indicate this clearly to those who recognize the signs.
Update: CPAC has…"
SteveInCO replied to Mo Trauen's discussion 'Does Atheistic Fanaticism Really Exist?'"I think there is such a thing (for reasons others have given), but that simply disagreeing with the religious doesn't qualify.

SteveInCO commented on Dan's blog post 'Fox News contributor busted again for pushing fake story about persecution of Christians'"And of course even when this guy's account of what happened does have some resemblance to the truth, he strawmans the arguments used to justify what he characterizes as persecution.

Unlike what I usually do when I crosspost from my blog (where I simply paste the text in), I'll provide a TL;DR here because I want to highlight the thing I found really surprising.
In a Gallup Poll where they classified people into "very", "moderately" and "non" religious, and did this…

Continue Open Letter to Christians #3: Freedom From Religion? Yes.

Crosspost from here:
Dear Christian,
Well, you've heard it said... and I imagine many of you have said it yourself, exasperated with some atheist complaint about prayer in school or a creche scene in front of a courthouse: "It's freedom of religion not freedom from religion."
Well, actually it is both; you cannot…

Missy Hollingsworth said… Thanks for the friend request! Definitely accepted! :-) Can't wait to talk with you more on your philosophical views of religion... although logically there is really very little to go over other than arguments against and reasons why... anyway, you get my drift I think :-)
