Are you pushing your own short comings on us and safely hating them from a distance?

Is this the virtue of faith? To never change your mind: especially when you should?

Young Earth Creationists take offense at the idea that we have a common heritage with other animals. Why is being the descendant of a mud golem any better?

It's funny actually. Here are god-loving people saying curses to people of a different faith. atheists do not believe in "God", but they do have their own god - it's weird but i've gone through so many resources about this, and it's just not right to become a killer just because somebody else does not have your own believe.

Hello Mark, Welcome to booktalk!

Atheism is a disbelief in gods, by definition and therefore atheists do not have their own god any more than pedestrians are a type of motorist.

I am fully on board with denouncing reactionary bile of the sort found in this link. Of course they will never recognize that the venom they spew is in direct contradiction with all their feel good plattitudes about being forgiving, loving, and holy.

Well yes, Mark. Where did you get the idea that atheists have their own God? Atheists have no belief in any God or religion.

We recently celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with a huge family party. People coming from far, many who had never been in our house. Think I am the only atheist. Now I collect religious art. I got pretty tired of fielding the stupid questions. However some of these people think the persons depicted are of the actual person!
