you're right, i am lucky to live here, but where the hell do you live in the US that makes you so defensive to be an atheist? |
my family chastised me a lot when i told them i was an athiest way back when, still made me go to church, and my dad calls me ever week trying to get me to read the bible and be more christly. even out here in saskatchewan i hear some people try and recruit me sometimes. |

right, then i'll just expect that you watched 90 minutes of footage in under 10 minutes |
Well you're right, I didn't watch them. But it wasn't because I'm not comfortable.
Say I DID watch the videos, and had a major revelation and totally switched all my existing beliefs. What would you gain from that? I'd just like to understand why it's so important to you. |

i don't think you'll ever be exempt from that, people always think they know what's better for you. The more someone pushes me, the more it turns me off. too bad your family isn't supportive |

watch the videos people.
educate yourself on the argument from atheism, why god is a delusion, why faith is a virus and why religion is the root of all evil. unless you find the idea of critically examining your beliefs 'offensive'. |
So you put your stock in knowledge in the hands of other people? Sounds a lot like religion.
Zealots of any brand of faith are what is truly corrupt about any set of knowledge and belief; whether it is Christianity or Atheism, it is still dependent on supposed forms of thinking, and both sides would offer their 'proof' - your subscription to whatever side of the argument you fall on is what comprises your beliefs. Unless you fancy yourself a nihilist or something? Seems kind of ridiculous - even scientific 'proof' is just knowledge of what the data gained from the scientific process has indicated thusfar, so those who put their stock in science also put faith into what the process has indicated, and even then, the faith is somewhat blind because it is often supported by theories and supposed "laws" - but when we look far enough, those laws are being contantly broken and defied. I fail to see the major difference between scientific proof and faith in (un)substantiated human rumour in angels and devils and whatnot. By your views, humans created both science and god - did they not? So how can you possibly differentiate one true brand of "reason" over another when the support remains the same throughout? It's all been humans. |

no i'd rather post a link to a well articulated argument from a well regarded scientist than to regurgitate all 90 minutes of the same thing in plain text for everyone to get hurt over. |
