First off, I'm going to say a few things. Yes, I categorized this as news. Second, I believe Jesus existed. Not as a holy being, but as a good, respectable guy who preached his religion, as a historical figure . But, using the Bible's own logic, I'm going to try and collapse the whole holy image of Jesus and leave the picture of a man. Imperfect, sure, a religious dude, but I don't have a problem with religious people. I was raised Christian (my parents don't know I'm an atheist), but off of the idea that Jesus was not perfect.
NOTE: This whole delicate Artikel is balancing on the fact that...

Sympathy for the Doctor: Reinterpreting Doctor Who

The Master and his otherworldly soldiers (Toclafane)

As an atheist, I don’t believe in Satan/Lucifer, but the character as a rebellious figure has some appeal. I think a lot of atheists agree. The Church of Satan is a just a group of atheists who admire the figure and want to piss off Christians. Now, Satan wouldn’t be a just leader, but on the other hand, neither would God. The only reason God is good is because God is first and gets to define what good is for his people. This is not good as humans, specifically modern Westerners, would typically define morality. I find a Doctor Who storyline to inadvertently illustrate God’s tyranny and...

Reasons to Become an Atheist: The Funny Version

posted by KateKicksAss

Credit: uncyclopedia.wikia.com. I didn't write this, I found it and thought it was funny, :)

"Being an atheist (being non-religous) is a lot easier than being of any other religion - because it isn't a religion! Doesn't get any simpler than that, does it? If Du want to be Christian, there's all kind of little annoyances that follow with it that just make Du want to say "Oy Vey!" and give up. Same thing goes for being Jewish (wearing dumb hats in public), Muslim (starting holy wars and wearing veils), Buddhist (setting yourself on fire) and every other major religion. For example...

Dr. Laura Schlessinger is a radio personality who dispenses Guter Rat to people who call in to her radio show.

The following is an open letter to Dr. Laura penned Von a east coast resident, which was gepostet on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative:

50 reasons why Jesus was a jerk.

1. He told his followers to hate their families.
If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children,and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:26

2. He came to break apart families.
I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. Matthew 10:35-36
The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter...

1. I am the Lord your God, who brought Du up out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

2. Du shall have no other Gods before me.

3. Du shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, oder that is on the earth beneath, oder that is in the water under the earth.

A terrible rant regarding a Youtube troll and his fallacies

I was recently looking for a video that I've Kommentiert on a few months ago, when I encountered a video Von sagte troll. Von the time I've done skimming through the comments, I was nearly puking - oder at least very sickened Von his repellent tone.

Therefore I shall rant regarding his ferociously presented fallacies and be done with it. I shall start with a few Zitate from his comments.
"The lower animal and the atheist are on exact the same intellectual level..."
I shall not bother to address this disgusting argumentum ad hominem, but only paraphrase it in mockery, no offense intended towards the Frenchmen...

A Holiday Message from Ricky Gervais: Why I’m An Atheist

posted by mooimafish17

Why don’t Du believe in God? I get that Frage all the time. I always try to give a sensitive, reasoned answer. This is usually awkward, time consuming and pointless. People who believe in God don’t need proof of his existence, and they certainly don’t want evidence to the contrary. They are happy with their belief. They even say things like “it’s true to me” and “it’s faith.” I still give my logical answer because I feel that not being honest would be patronizing and impolite. It is ironic therefore that “I don’t believe in God because there is absolutely no scientific...

Atrocities of the Bible

posted by BedIntruder

Is God a divine being of truth? oder is he a sadistic monster?
A lot of Christians go about their daily lives thinking: God is everything. He is just, kind, and wise. He would never hurt anyone! All those people suffering and being killed? Oh, they’re all devils; God has the right to kill them. Even though the Ten Commandments clearly state: Thou shalt not kill. But of course, God is special! What about those good, hard-working, loyal Christians suffering? Oh, God’s just testing them. For what? A maths test? Even if this false deity existed, he has shown evidence of is sadism.

Religion, Atheism, Science and Logic Throw a Dice...

posted by ilovereading

Religion argues with Atheism that it should rule. Since the end of the overused God argument doesn't seem to be near, Logic and Science suggest they throw a dice. If Religion guess the number, it can be in charge. Science provides an ordinary dice.

Religion: "Five."
Atheism: "Anything else and Du lose."
Religion: "I won't lose."
Atheism: "We'll see about that."
Logic: "Ok, are Du ready?"
Religion and Atheism: "Yes!"

They throw the dice. Unfortunately it, while still turning, rolls under a heavy closet.

Atheism: "Oh come on!"
Religion: "It's five."
Logic: "You don't know that. It's five to one against."...

Atheist Zitate

"What happens when we're dead? The irony is that all our Fragen wil be answered after we die. We spend our whole life trying to figure out the truth and the only way we'll find out what it is, is to get hit Von a bus. And the only comfort that religion offers is that God is driving that bus." - John Ryman, When Galaxies Collide

Proving Atheism wrong.....with Science!

I found this on a website, and lets just say that it's one of the biggest FAILS I've ever come across. Clearly whoever made this has never learned about the Water Cycle, *facedesk*

"The amount of water on earth is 1.386x10^21 liters.

Lets assume that people will only use 2 liters of water per day. This is a lot less than people actually use, but for simplicity we'll only take the optimal drinking quantity per day.

There are 6 billion people on earth (closer to 7 billion, but let's be generous to the atheists). This means that we drink 12 billion liters of water per day. (12x10^9 liters)...

One-sided World

There has been thoughts on my mind a lot these last few days and I think its time I talk about them.

But before I go on, let me just say that I am NOT trying to make people angry oder start a "war" on the 'net, I'm just gonna say how I honestly feel about all this.

When I go on the 'net, I discover tons of "religious wars" going back and forth over who's right oder wrong about what people believe and the way they think.

To me, I choice to be in the neutral spot when it comes to things like this. Why? Because humans have become "one-sided" and are getting worse. Only focusing on one side causes fights...

Talking to a believer

posted by jmoor23

It happens to all of us. We are in a conversation with a believer and we end up in an argument, frustrated and upset that the believer walked away with even stronger convictions about their faith then before. Many of us have gegeben up trying to talk to believers. It seems hopeless and pointless. After all, they all drag out the same tired arguments.
Evolution is just a theory.
You can’t prove there is no God.
Atheism is also faith.
We couldn’t have just come from nothing
I know God exists from personal experience.
These are just a few. How do we speak to someone with these certainties? It appears...

Handy Responses to Arguments against Atheism

posted by KateKicksAss

Credit: link. I didn't write it, I thought it was pretty hilarious though!

"As an atheist, Du will occasionally meet a non-atheist who wishes to argue against your belief system. If Du are interested in discussing the matter, Du may want to prepare yourself Von learning these simple responses to common anti-atheist arguments.

The Bible says that atheism is wrong.

"The Bible also says some guy's donkey talked."

If Du believe in God and are wrong, then it's no big deal, but if Du don't believe in God and are wrong, you'll be punished eternally, so it's not a good idea to be an atheist.

The Great Flood

posted by jmoor23

The story of Noah’s Ark and the flood is one of the most beliebt stories in the Bible and Koran. It also has become one of the most polarizing arguments in the Creationism vs. Evolution debate. The Debatte really is a by-product of denial of history and science Von the faithful and their leaders. The Debatte has been over for the last 150 years oder so, since Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species showed that all living things evolve over long periods of time.

Many of the so called debates deal mainly with the science of evolution, but rarely the history of the actual story itself. It is important...
