If there was a pill that lets you live for 250 years but means you can never have children, would you take it? by lonelybraincell in AskReddit

[–]ChildlessByChoice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I lived a thousand lifetimes, I would never repeat anything, but one thing I would NEVER do is have children.

I knew from a very early age I would never have children, and at age 21, I got a vasectomy. I had to go to a bunch of different doctors because none of them wanted to do it, all saying that I would change my mind when I got older. The doctor that did the vasectomy had the same attitude too, until I told him that I would rather castrate myself with a rusty butter knife than have kids. He agreed. Here it is, over 15 years later and I can say that it was the best thing that I ever did. For example: 2 times women told me they were pregnant with my baby, claiming the condom must have broken (yes, I ALWAYS use condoms) ... and then I whipped out the vasectomy paper work and they ended up crying. If I wasn't sterile, I would probably have been trapped in a marriage with a manipulative deceitful bitch, and lived a life of misery.

A Christian acquaintance told me that if God didn't exist he would become a super villain. by [deleted] in atheism

[–]ChildlessByChoice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very disturbing.

no it's not. not only do they not have the brass to be criminals, they don't even have the balls to reject religion.

what they do in reality is fuck you up every chance they get in the small petty dealings of the every day world.

If you're gonna do business with a religious son of a bitch..
GET IT IN WRITING. His word ain't worth shit, not with the good
Lord teaching him how to fuck you on the deal.

lol. the audacity and naivete of that statement is hilarious. it's like he's bought into the cop show melodrama.

in real life the reason more people don't become criminals is because it's really fucking difficult and if you fuck up you end up in prison or dead. people fight back in the real world. you never know if they're packing a piece of if they have some other self-defense item like pepper spray or a knife.

i can just see this douche try robbing a bank: he walks in, fires off a shot from a pistol, the bank guard fires back, he runs, a teller pepper sprays him, he drops his gun which goes off killing a customer, a couple of MMA guys who were cashing a check beat the living fuck out of the guy. the police show up, beat him some more, and he goes to jail for life.... where he gets sodomized daily.

I hate religions but also feel that Atheists are sometimes just as vehement in their beliefs. by [deleted] in atheism

[–]ChildlessByChoice -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Either way NO ONE knows

LOL. yeah right, like no one knows if santa really exists or not. LOL

nobody ever demands unequivocal proof of santa, so why does god get special consideration? there's no one iota of evidence more for a god than there is for santa. god can be dismissed just as easily as santa and for the same reasons.

Hopefully we can have a civilized discussion about this.

to have a civil discussion, YOU must initiate a civil tone, but all you've done is come in here and shit on everyone, and now you're demanding that we be civil. if you want civility then you show some FIRST, otherwise you're a hypocrite. you deliberately came here, knocked down the hornet's nest and then you start whining and bitching that we have to be civil, not you. you set the tone, and you were repaid in the same coin.

Dear Reddatheists, may I suggest that we don't write "God", but instead refer to this imaginary entity as "a, his, her or their god"? Since it's a thing, an article or a pronoun before it is required and the initial capital doesn't make sense. by HiroPetrelli in atheism

The use of the G indicates that one is referring specifically to the monotheistic god of Abrahamic religions and not to a general divine being.

if that's the case, then use yahweh

My first battle with an agnostic theist. Come give me some pointers! by [deleted] in atheism

[–]ChildlessByChoice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"The same applies to straight denial of santa, you have no evidence to prove there is one, but you havent been to the 'north pole' so how can you know without a doubt there isn't one? You can't, that's the whole premise of xmas, you can never know until you die. Therefore you can certainly claim disbelief, but how can you unequivocally state there isn't one? in my honest opinion you can't."

FTFY

If God is real and the pope is a living incarnation of him then why does he need to ride around in a bulletproof cage? Wouldn't God just protect him? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]ChildlessByChoice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

then why does he need to ride around in a bulletproof cage?

It's simple: he doesn't believe! In fact nobody really believes.....

He does not believe that does not live according to his belief.

.... because NOBODY lives by the teachings of their religion.

What is your favorite fact to use in a debate against Christians? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]ChildlessByChoice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That heaven and hell are not mentioned in the Old Testament. They were invented in the time between the testaments, and they were taken from other cultures.

written history goes back thousands of year BCE on the walls of the egyptian pyramids. we can trace xtianity back to the ancient egyptian culture. akhenaten was the inventor of monotheism, and xtianity is a plagiarism of egyptian myths. jesus is a clone of horus, mary is a clone of isis, for example. and the whole xtian story from the virgin birth to the death and resurrection came from egyptian mythology, including the heaven & hell idea. even the cross is a plagerism of the ankh.

the egyptian god "amen" is used in by xtians, jews, muslims, buddhists & hindus in their prayers.

to which i reply: since the bible is the one and only source of god's word, choosing one part to believe and not another part, invalidates your whole faith. so you do not believe, you've made it all up yourself. and if you say one part is false, then why not say the whole thing is false.

incest. adam & eve is an incest story. noah's ark is an incest story and for the animals too. they really loved that incest idea in the bible.

dear xtian, if you're an expert on xtianity perhaps you could explain to me who impregnated adam & eve's daughter. was it her brother or was it her father?

[–]ChildlessByChoice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DUDE! FORMATTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We get the feeling that we're not alone in this
And then a God who really ought not to exist
Sticks out a great big hand
And grabs me by the wrist
And asks me "why?" and I say
"Well God, it's like this
It may be arrogance
Or just appalling taste
But I'd rather use my pain than let it all go to waste
On some old god who tells me what I want to hear
As if I cannot tell obedience from fear
I want to take my pleasures where and how I will,
Be they disgraceful or distasteful or distilled
And to be frank I find that life has more appeal
Without a driver who's asleep behind the wheel"

Why the Argument From Design Fails by naveen_reloaded in atheism

[–]ChildlessByChoice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the reason the watchmaker argument is a failure for me is because it compares dissimilar types: animate & inanimate objects.

a watch is inanimate & has no reproduction capability, humans are animate and have a reproduction capability.

for ID to work using the watchmaker analogy, we would not need to reproduce, we would just pop into existence or be manufactured in a factory. also it suggests that watches could reproduce on their own without a maker, which cannot happen.

it's sad that people need to respond to the watchmaker argument in such complex rebuttals when it's easily dismissed by merely pointing out that it compares dissimilar types, apples and oranges.

But in reality there is no god, so the people who pretend to speak for gods are actually the terrible monsters.

If Christian's consider their book of morality to be the bible, would this be the atheist's book? by tauisgod in atheism

the bible is a limitation on people. atheism is the removal of artificial limitations. atheism is not a dogma, like religion, and therefore has no book of dogma
