Originally posted by analpie I also laugh at the hypocrisy of atheists, who condemn religion and religious people for pushing their beliefs onto others, when they do it just as much. I don't understand the need of people to get everybody else to agree with their beliefs, other than the fact that it somehow gives strength to their point of view. Are people that afraid to stand alone with what they believe, that they have to try and convince others to go along with it? Seems like an ego thing to me. Plain and simple.

thx Miss EgoPie we'll try to keep our egos in check

except the one difference is atheists push established knowledge on to others. things that can be proven wrong, but haven't been. relgious freaks push their morality, based upon unprovable concepts, upon all of society, believers and nonbelievers alike. you don't see atheists and agnostics trying to censor certain vocabulary out of all media, ban abortion, ban gay marriage and ban stem cell research. this the the problem with having absolute beliefs based in superstition... you begin to think you're absolutely infallible because there's no way to prove otherwise, and thus you have the right to make decisions for everyone in society.


ps- i don't think anyone who's naive enough to buy stock in 'faith' has the right to laugh at anyone lol

My thoughts exactly. That professor should pull his own head out of his ass.

fun fact: the majority of america believes earth is less than 10,000 years old. more americans believe in the immaculate conception than evolution
