That anti-atheist montage enrages me. Detestable presumptuous imbeciles those religious people are, speaking about atheism when they don't know, and don't want to know any kind of truth about it or anything. Spiteful child-like naysayers without one whit of compassion or empathy in their hearts, just contempt and ignorance.

That's to bad that the only people present in the Q&A were dumb, air headed, dizzy dame; bitches...

Always fascinated by black American's love of the White man's religion.

I'm Atheist and no one knows or gives a shit. I've been married three times and all my wives claimed to be believe in god but none of us went to church or talked about god. They didn't know or care that I was atheist. They knew I was good and moral and that's all that mattered. both my exes are still on friendly terms even tho we got divorced. I guess there are some people that are religious fanatics but they are few. Most American citizens leave god in the church and when your not in the church, god doesn't matter. Aaron is a radical that has chosen to go to war with religion but in my world, Christians and atheists get alone just fine. They don't bother me about my beliefs and I don't bother them. Keep it in the church and things will work out fine. Aaron is taking things to far because he has to be mad at someone. I don't have atheist stamped on my forehead and I can walk into a church today and no one would be attacking me or questioning me. They would great me and that's about it. They wouldn't have a clue that I was atheist. I have one sentence that brings a halt to any harassment. I tell them I was baptized and they ask me nothing else.

Sad to see the thought process abandon folks who have been taught what to think and not how to think.

How You Know the Creator of the Universe Did Not Write the Bible What matters far more than does god exist is did he write the bible. If he existed, but did not write the bible, Christians are all chumps, taken in by a forgery. Christians bet the farm that the creator of the universe wrote the bible. If that is not so, then Christianity is blithering nonsense. It is rather distressing for Christians, but you can easily show the creator of the universe could not possibly have been the author of the bible. If they wish to remain Christians, their only strategy is refusal to look. Jehovah allegedly created the universe. He should therefore know every detail of how it works, but in every matter of science, the authors of the bible got it wrong. They think the earth is flat, resting on pillars. They believe the earth is at the center of the universe, is surrounded by a metal bowl with holes for the stars, is surrounded by a celestial ocean. They think π is 3. They think disease is caused by demonic possession. They think dove blood will cure leprosy. They think showing goats a striped board will cause them to have striped offspring. They think the earth was created before the sun and the stars. This is not the creator of the universe talking. This is ignorant desert dwellers reciting the primitive science of the age. All it takes the bible to be wrong about one thing to disprove inerrancy. Because God is incapable of error, if you find so much as one error, that proves God could not be the author of the bible. Since the bible is the source of all information about God, there is no longer any reliable information about god. Archaeology has turned up no sign of Moses, Solomon or David. If the bible were correct, there should have been tons of remains. We have discovered the Moses babe in a reed basket story is a rip-off of the Sargon myth. Moses allegedly wandered in the desert for 40 years, yet that desert takes only 3 days to cross by horseback. Surely Jehovah would not try to pass off fictitious characters and silly stories as real. I would expect the bible to be perfect, completely consistent, no errors of any kind. But it isn’t. It was clearly written by many different editors and slapped together without an editor. There are thousands of errors and inconsistencies, blatant enough for a child to notice. I would expect Jehovah to craft prose considerably better than Shakespear. But is not. It is disorganised, redundant, even doddering. Read the bible cover to cover if you doubt. If you read the bible cover to cover, most of it depicts Jehovah in a very bad light: petty, erratic, sadistic, unjust, partisan. What sort of being writes an autobiography and makes themselves out to be the villain? It is like Joan Crawford authoring Mommy Dearest. To create the universe, Jehovah would have had to know all of modern physics and more, atoms, black holes, DNA, elements, evolution, exoplanets, expansion of the universe, galaxies, gamma rays, germ theory, gravity, ions, metallurgy, Newton’s laws of motion, plate tectonics, quantum mechanics, quarks, radioactivity, relativity, spectroscopy, speed of light, stars, String theory, thermonuclear reactions, X-rays… There is absolutely no hint the authors of the bible knew any of this stuff that the creator of the universe must have known. A deity may will have created the universe, but it wasn’t Jehovah. We have no original copies of the bible, not even copies in the original language. All we have are copies of copies of copies. All the copies wildly differ. Bits are left out, added and changed. Surely if Jehovah were in charge, he could have arranged for perfection in the copy process as the alleged perfection in the composition process. There is no reason to think Jehovah had anything to do with writing the bible. There is not even a reported miracle where Jehovah gave his blessing to some version of the bible. All we have is a tradition that authors claimed inspiration. Egotistical twits make such claims for their meandering drivel every day. The Internet is crawling with them. That does not make it true. All kinds of books were left out of the bible at the Council of Nicea. From what I have read, that process was pure politics, nothing whatsoever to do with Jehovah. Books are fragile. If Jehovah were serious about his message getting through accurately, surely he should have engraved it on titanium plates or on the side of some desert mountain, or redelivered it every century or so. Why not sign his work in some way? The way it is, the bible looks like a clumsy forgery. If the bible were intended as a universal message for all mankind, why is it so focussed on desert shepherds and Israelites? It badly needs an update. The bible is a con, perpetrated by ordinary humans. It had absolutely nothing to do with any god. Why did they do it? To con people out of money. To gain control of people’s minds (e.g. so they will die on command in battle). For prestige, to bamboozle people into giving them respect. To terrify children into sexual acts and convince their parents not to intervene. If the bible were written by con artists creating a forgery, what would you expect it look like? If the bible were written by the creator of the universe, what would you expect it to look like? Read your bible presuming human con artists as author. Read it presuming the creator of the universe as author. See which is more plausible. Which fits with the facts?

I remember that episode and that is a good analogy. And that a monster like Glen Beck mentioned you in distaste is high praise and would scare the shit out of me!
