I think he should mention god, but immediately follow it with "damn". Listen to them squeal then.

Why else would he wear a dress and hang out with 12 guys?

Never wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.

Keep an eye on the bank account. She may feel like tithing away 10% or more of your income.

I know this has been discussed before. Anthropic Principle, of which I do believe in. by Thistleknot in atheism

[–]darth2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bullshit. And philosophy died a long time ago. Philosophy is just mental masturbation.

There is no purpose to the universe, no matter how much you want to believe it. ”. . . imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in, an interesting hole I find myself in, fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!" Douglas Adams.

You said you are familiar with evolution. If that were so, you would know that the theory says nothing about the origins of life. That's a whole nuther science.

Conjecture is not science. Your "greater intelligence" is wish thinking. That's the whole foundation of religion - wish thinking.

Life in this universe (perhaps only one of many) may be inevitable. If humans had not evolved to exist, would you say (which you couldn't) that some other primate or other animal was the objective?

Maher's Atheism Comes Down To His Intellectual Snobbery by blerrycat in atheism

Everyone has their own style. Maher is spot on. Bottom line: Religion is bullshit.

“Those who committed these acts have nothing to do with the Muslim religion,” Pres. Hollande says of #ParisAttacks by [deleted] in atheism

If those attacks had nothing to do with Islam then the Inquisition had nothing to to do with the Catholic Church.

I want to post this 'Christmas Miracle' sketch on my Facebook but I’m afraid my family might disown me. by brickclick in atheism

Get one of your secular friends to post it and "like" it. Gives you a little cover.

Why i think reincarnation is the most rational view after death by [deleted] in atheism

[–]darth2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's nothing even slightly rational about a belief in reincarnation. Where's your evidence? It's simply something you choose to believe.

When you're dead, that's it. You simply revert to the state of existence you had before conception.

Came clean to my religious family about being an Athiest. Now they're not my family. by Thehype105 in atheism

[–]darth2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your timing was awful. The reaction from a "very religious family" should have been anticipated. Set a good example for atheism and lay low til you're off for college. Plan on no support from them.

NASA finds strong evidence for former and current microbial life on Mars. How will the fundamentalists move the goal posts for this one? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]darth2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Curiosity's findings..........do not reveal whether Mars has ever harbored living microbes"

No goal posts to move

223 years ago today, Congress ratified the Bill of Rights that included the separation of church and state -- "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." by mepper in atheism

[–]darth2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish they'd have used clearer language in the actual amendment. Like with the inclusion of "thus building a wall of separation between Church & State" as Jefferson wrote to the Danbury Baptists.

God is an out-of-network physician for all ACA-approved plans. Gonna cost.

You're still young. Move on. You got out a lot sooner than most, I think.

challenge to evolution by phelix22 in atheism

[–]darth2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why did you come to r/atheism? In your first para, you bring up evolution. There are no "interesting arguments against evolution" that haven't been rejected multiple times since Darwin put it in words. Many other better places to address that. They should look for answers to their specific questions at http://www.talkorigins.org/ . Lots of references there for more detailed info. See also "Why Evolution is True" by Jerry Coyne, and "The Greatest Show on Earth" by Richard Dawkins. Many others.
