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 Holo Gram's discussion 'Is Atheism a Religion?'""Religious Status" is not the same as "Which religion are you" (since it is simply asking if you have a religion and only if so which one) and it's perfectly appropriate to put an answer here that equates to "none""

SteveInCO replied to Unseen's discussion 'What's your take: vinyl vs CD'"I tend to agree this is a "religious" issue to a large extent; i.e., one where people argue over it a lot and the objective answer is probably either "neither" or "both" With one caveat: An…"

SteveInCO commented on Elizabeth Williams's blog post 'Losing my friends.'"Maybe he can't, but Psalms 14:1 gets quoted at us a lot. Oftentimes at maximum volume.

SteveInCO commented on Rob Klaers's blog post 'Intolerant Atheists Viciously Attack Christian School'"Well this attitude IS out there, Fox news (and the like) have no trouble whatsoever finding this attitude held by people on the liberal/left side of the spectrum.

SteveInCO replied to Unseen's discussion 'Is it time for a revolution?'"We can't even agree, as a society, on what is causing the collapse. Many, many people believe its coming, but they blame what the people who don't think like them are doing for the collapse.
Conservatives blame rampant government…"
SteveInCO replied to Unseen's discussion 'Is it time for a revolution?'"Oh but then you want us to vote in a bunch of liberals and leftists. Why do you expect the conservatives to forget what they believe in while exempting yourself?"

Where The Fuck Is Your God ?
"No doubt he saved some ONE individual from this for a special purpose or was busy helping someone find their car keys or a parking spot."
SteveInCO replied to Diane's discussion 'WBC and Boston tragedy'"I should rephrase this, it takes a superlative sniper (not a "merely" good one) for these sorts of ranges. But half a mile (880 yards) is readily doable and a quarter mile is child's play. (Note that the top records are…"

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…

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 :-)
