List of the eloquent Fox viewers

For those of you that don't know, Fox viewers recently posted on how atheists should just keep to themselves. Or rather, die.

"Sure, it certainly can't hurt, but ONLY if it's used as a supplement to proper health care, not as a replacement."

"Ah, good point, Malcolm. Maybe the parallel would work better if I were to suggest that prayers be used as an actual form of currency...still, it doesn't sound right. I guess I was just trying to apply the concept of directed…"

"Th problem with this line of reasoning is that with a mortgage, all that matters is whether the payment was made, not whether it was attempted, whereas with medical treatment, since outcomes cannot be assured, one can only insist that it is tried."

"No. No. No. NO. No. HELL NO! If you want to pray, that's fine and dandy, but for the love of Basement Cat, get the kid proper medical attention!"

"If prayer is to be a legally condoned method to treat illness, then it should also be a legally condoned method of paying the mortgage. After all, if the premise is that wishful thinking and divine supplication will solve a problem, why limit…"

"if prayer is the only course of action you are taking, you are literally doing nothing and should be charged with medical neglect."

Malcolm replied to Wayne's discussion 'Do you think that it should be legal for parents to use prayer as a method of healing to their children?'

"The fact that they are using prayer should be irrelevant, since it is not a form of medical treatment. Basically, the question should be, did they seek appropriate medical care for their child? What they do outside of this (such as prayer) is not…"

"The only thing that unites us is that we have no belief in a deity, that is what makes us atheists, aside from that, we're all entitled to our own opinions, who knows, someone just might think differently."

Profile Information

Your Religious Status: Secular/Nonreligious/Agnostic, Buddhism

About Me:: Hey, name's Wayne and while I do observe Buddhist customs, I do not think there is a monkey god in the sky watching me. I am agnostic/bordering atheist and I like Owl City, Kittens, and Anime. I prefer not to give out my age, etc. Also, I will disclose my AIM and Skype ONLY IF I KNOW YOU WELL ENOUGH.

Why you left your religion.: The bible was self-contradicting and barbaric, also it made no logical sense. I decided that I could no longer be a follower of this religion.
