bible thumpers: The trouble with the tri-cities

<quoted text>I see you have changed your childish avatar to a generic Atheist icon. Hmmm, not so sure anymore? I would go so far to say that you are guilty of religion, that religion being atheism. You have no doubt been spoonfed just enough of their agenda and propaganda to feel a part of them. I suppose if you have to belong to a group then you are not quite the self thinking and independent whiz you expect us to believe you are. And I'm just curious, how do you give or not give a damn if you don't believe in damnation?

I claim no religion, I follow my path and will never worship anything. the pic just made sense. I have a few more I like. keep watching for updates lol

The same way I can say go to hell. I know its fiction, but there are plenty of idiots that don't. so its mostly for them.

Saying that Atheism is a religion is like calling bald a hair color. Like Anti Christ said, I follow my own believes. When you understand why you yourself dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.

why do you have so much hate inside of you? maybe you should focus your energy on doing things to make the world a better place.. I'm not a Christian nor do I believe in God. But if someone else does, who cares? It's not like they're hurting anyone. And it's none of anyone else's business

Like 666 you are following the bellowing of a group of misfits. 666 gets his info from one of those atheist groups online, "Atheist-something or another.org " and such. Can't even come up with anything more than a standard icon they use. Seems you two brilliant thinkers are just being carped into reading the written psycho babble of some malcontents and are using those "teachings" as if they were a.......Bible! You two are religiously bound to the opinions of humans with no real insight or originality. Just a couple of kids wanting to sound intelligent and free willed, when you are both no more intellectual than an everyday borrower of ideas. I don't mean to be insulting, I'm just making a point that you two are nothing new, just trying to impress us with your second hand propaganda.

Who are you trying to kid, kid? You follow the religion of self, albeit borrowed from some Atheist group. Now if you were truly confident of your scholarly beliefs, you wouldn't have to resort to the opinions of fellow misfits. You are just as or more guilty of being a follower than the religious that you try to persecute. I saw in one of your posts that you prefer anarchy. Another childish rebellion issue. That in itself shows your ignorance of how the world works. How long do you think a greenhorn like you would last in a world without recourse to the government and laws? I hope you will grow up and be somebody, but I have my doubts.

I don't think one can call Atheism an actual religion.
It lacks two critical components of which one, the other, or both are found in all religions. Those being the belief in a higher power/supernatural being or the existence of some sort of alternate reality be it a heaven/hell or some type of higher plain of existence.
While Atheists have beliefs about existence, morals, and ethics they are products of nature, nurture, and experience based on the physical world around them, "religious" beliefs are absent even when it applies to things both parties agree on such as stealing for example.
Religious people believe it wrong because god tells them so, an Atheist could arrive at the same conclusion because they had something stolen and didn't like the feeling of being victimized or maybe it's simply that they find life with law and order preferable to complete anarchy just as some people like the color blue better than the color orange.

<quoted text> all those accusations, and nothing to validate it. Re read your post for that warm fuzzy you give yourself.

Just stating my observations and opinions based on your tirades. I don't need to validate it. You are doing fine on your on. Glad to see your still posting. You make me appreciate the more intelligent people I am around everyday. Amusing.

"you're"

This post makes no sense. I never said that I promoted anarchy. You have me confused with someone else. As far as being a follower; I will admit that you are right. All people are followers of some sorts whether they realize it or not. I just follow the group that doesn't base their belief system on a man made god.

And it's none of anyone else's business [/QUOTE]that's where your wrong. unlike those that haven't evolved from bronze age beliefs we don't usually say much. "they" like to always let people know they are delusional with their judgment and theories of how people should live based on a bullshit book. then of course they usually mention they'll pray for you or some quote.
just look at theses fools "thou shall not kill" Salem witch trails, holy wars. they are not hurting anyone? they are a walking contradiction of themselves not be taken seriously. how many churches are in your neighbor hood? try to put a bar in and see what happens. their ignorance is a step backwards (closer to centuries ago) for the community and the state as a whole. there are still dry counties in TN. 30 states allow adult motorcycle riders to ride without helmets. I agree that's a bad idea but I wouldn't force people to conform (give up a personal choice) for my opinion.
if they would shut up and not be the self appointed moral compass and stop this foolish brainwashing of their spawn we could possible progress. religion is fine, its a good crutch for the weak but it shouldn't consume ones life and alter others. much like a dope addict that they love to criticize, there is little difference.

I get my information from common sense. you need to remember you are in denial. your "point" is invalid. you criticize my picture when your don't even have one? your grey box is so intelligent. its obvious you don't comprehend well and your foolish brainwashing forces you to make inaccurate statements to reassure yourself you are right. the picture is used because of its accuracy. right or wrong I follow me not a book or invisible man. grow up and use your head. why do you defend such foolishness?

I would agree that is a fair assessment. I guess looking at it like that if I were to associate with a group I guess I would have to lean towards Atheism. Atleast they are thinking instead of blindly following. Thank you for nonjudgmental and enlightening post.

Pot meet kettle lol. After reading your posts, I've yet to see one that makes much sense and doesn't try to downgrade and insult ppl. We really need more ppl like you in this world, it would be such a better world to live in(sarcasm). You are a lost closed minded child and following you will not get yourself out your own bed in the morning. All this arguing does not make you look smart like you probably think it does, I think ive lost 10 iq points reading your posts. Your so immature you can't simply have a discussion without trying to belittle ppl. Hope that works out well for ya in life!

I wish atheists, like the one who started this thread, would stop trying to influence everyone's existence. A lot more good comes from a Christian trying to do the right thing, than a hateful atheist trying to bring people down.

So katelyn are you saying its okay for christians to influence other peoples existence? Cause it seems to me that is a once sided point you are making.. I have had christians come to my door sharing gods word and even after telling them nicely that i am of another faith they go on with trying to change my mind and INFLUENCING MY EXISTENCE
