The only place where atheists really come out and express their views is on message boards. The anonymity gives them (us) the freedom to express views that are fanatically opposed by the staunch right-wing religious fascists which, believe it or not, do exist.
For me, I choose to go head to head with the fascist brand of Christians and I do not keep my mouth shut when I see them. I consider them a far greater threat to freedom than all of the Muslim terrorists in the world put together. [/b] Dear God, Are you kidding me? It was Muslim terriorst that murdered almost 3000 people on 9-11, sorry, but I would NEVEr put any trust into those people, EVER. I cannot believe you even said that. Pathetic, just pathetic[/quote]Wow!

No, I'm not kidding. Muslim terrorists are not a threat to our freedom. They may be a threat to our lives - and even then, statistically, I would worry more about being struck by lightning than being the victim of a terrorist.
The fascist brand of Christians, however, are constantly lobbying and maneuvering to turn this nation into a de facto theocracy. They are always working to ban this, censor that - just look at the Hardees thread just a few topics below this one - and force everyone, believers and atheists, to adhere to Christian/Biblical law. The Christian fascists in this nation have a far greater chance of making the Bible the "law of the land" than Muslims do. All of this nonsense about "creeping Sharia law" that right-wingers whinge about is a distraction, smoke and mirrors.
Christian fascism is more in line with our existing culture and structure of belief, so this form of tyranny can easily be "sneaked" into our laws without much protest. As I've mentioned several times, the state constitutional amendments defining marriage is nothing less than religion gone amok. And if it can happen once, it can most certainly happen again. It's hard to stuff a "genie" back into the bottle once it gets loose.
By the way, if you're going to be so loose with pejorative terms like "pathetic" then I don't want to hear one more hypocritical word about how rude Weltz is. The difference is that I don't use the "ignore" button to hide from people who strongly disagree with me.

I do not accept subjective experience as evidence, I would require some empirical physical evidence and it would require other witnesses.
God would have to do something physical to prove to me and others I was not hallucinating or being duped.

Why? Because they weren't written by Tosh?
By the way, it's spelled "ludicrous."

Yeah, nice try dodging the bullet. And no, I don't "get it." Rap singers have nothing at all to do with this discussion nor did anyone mention rap music, so why I would "get it" is a mystery to me. I am humorous when I choose to be.
Nor will I be lured into a petty bickering match. Your attempt at trying to pretend that your comments about "wind" was about flatulence and not referencing my posts is, well, quaint, but I'm not buying it.
If this is the kind of discussion you want, then you'll get rudeness in spadefuls. At least I can show you what TRUE rudeness is. If you're going to dish it out, don't boohoo when you receive it kind.
Just a friendly word of advice.

You need to look into them.. They would never accept you or your "friendship" of them. They would just kill you and move on

Theocracies are by definition undemocratic and a threat to universal human rights, the will of the people must always take precedence over voodoo.
I am really not interested in moral standards based on an old dusty book from the bronze age.

LOL! Meanwhile you and Femme are being rude and Femme is spamming the board with "wind" comments (her announcing she is ignoring me, as Steff said) ... but I'M the one picking and stirring.
Your bias is monumental. "Femme believes as I do and is a fellow Christian so she receives a free pass to say whatever she wants. If an atheist retaliates, well, it's the atheist's fault."
This thread is ridiculous ... not for the topic but for the cliquish, insular, and flagrantly hypocritical behavior. Damn! Don't you analyze the situation before posting rubbish?
