I truly feel bad for atheists.

I wish they still made that "Beer" shampoo. That was cool!

To be honest about it, I have read a lot of harsh unkind words from atheists against God and theists, and nothing harsh and unkind from theists against atheists.

On the other hand I have only read these unkind words from atheists in web forums and blogs and also books written by atheists against God and theists.

Books such as the ones by Dawkins, Hitchens, and Harris and also their emulators, they are replete with unkind words against God and theists.

Again to be honest about it, from the unkind words of atheists against God and theists, I have to say that atheists hold God and theists to be all evil and must be extirpated from mankind.

In brief, atheists hate God and theists.


Now, even though I have not read unkind words from theists against atheists, I have read about that poll in the US, which reveals how the vast majority of Americans regard atheists, namely, as the most distrusted minority in their country.

So I suppose theists also hold atheists to be all evil and must be extirpated from mankind.


What about a contest between atheists and theists, for each side to use all the possibilities available to tell all mankind, namely, from atheists to tell mankind why God and theists are all evil for mankind and therefore must be extirpated for the good of mankind, and similarly for theists to tell the whole mankind that atheists are all evil for mankind and must be extirpated.


What do you think, everyone here of whatever worldviews, who will convince mankind more, atheists or theists?

If you have read or heard nothing harsh or unkind from theists against atheists, then you haven't really looked into it much.

I believe it's unkind to tell me that I'm going to burn for eternity.  While I may not believe in hell, they obviously do... and they don't hesitate to tell me that I'll burn a firey death for blaspheming god's name merely by being an atheist.

I've been flipped off for having an evolvefish on my car... a nonverbal symbol of my believe in evolution.  Flipped off, told to go to hell, and mooned (on the freeway, no less).

And these are the more tame events IN PERSON... online, it's even worse.  I used to venture to theist forums, secular forums, and other belief websites to debate and discuss... not demean or insult.  And a lot of what is directed toward me is not something I'd like to repeat.

So... which came first?  The harsh and unkind words from atheists about theists or the harsh and unkind words from theists about atheists?  I'd posit that it's the later because they have been a vocal majority for much longer than we've been a marginalized, now-vocal minority, and they're threatened by our newfound voice.  Their way of dealing with this threat is to lash out with vile words and scenarios based on their holy book.

You have been repetedly corrected on this point. Atheists DON'T hate god. You cannot hate what you don't believe in. Why do you keep repeating this even though you have been corrected? Do you hate unicorns, or Zeus, or Santa, or Xenu? I would guess not because you don't believe in any of those thing, well we feel the same way about all gods, we cant hate what, to us, is non-existant. Are you being intentionally obtuse or just willfully ignorant?

I can't speak for all atheists but I for one don't hate theists for being theists. There are a couple individuals I hate who also happen to be theists but that is not the cause. Also hate is an extremely powerfull word, there are infact only 2 people I hate and that is because they have wronged me sevearly. There are people I dislike but again not because of their religious view but because they are assholes. You can't say how MILLIONS of people think, so don't.

Well, there isn't a single atheist author, comedian or film director, who hasn't received death threads from theists. In some cases these threads are real, like the murder of the film director Theo van Gogh. Apart from that there are numerous followers of Jesus Christ, who are extremely hostile towards atheists. We are portrayed as devil worshipers, the anti-christs, we will burn in hell forever etc. etc.

You don't read much, do ya?

I have difficulty taking you seriously...

Here we go again :rolleyes:

You're kinda obvious, btw. You need to brush up on your skills, Mr Baits.

You are soooooo lucky! I'm jealous.


Of course, my head is shaved, so I guess I'm not missing out on anything except the great taste.

When threads get like this one - you know: without purpose or which are pointless, or trollish, or spammish, or anything inane - then we change them to talk about shampoo.

Refreshing, I think.

I finally washed my hair with God's Grace shampoo today.

I feel truly clean for the first time in a while.  It just goes to show that, without God's Grace, we are all tainted.

However, the hair is a bit dry now, so it doesn't pull together as a whole and just keeps falling down as individual strands.  It's getting in my eyes, so it's hard for me to see.


Since I'm blinded by God's Grace, check out this cool tutorial on tying neku tais

To be honest about it, I have read a lot of harsh unkind words from atheists against God and theists, and nothing harsh and unkind from theists against atheists.

I recently had a friend told he would lose his job if he participated in Camp Quest (a non-religious camp associated with atheists), I know of other people who have lost their jobs or their clients just because someone found out they were associated with freethought/atheist groups...don't tell me theists never treat atheists unkindly.

Here's just one (very recent) example of a theist being unkind towards atheists:  http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent ... 6dccf.html  In this example, the theist didn't even bother to research the freethought groups he was ranting against before writing his opinion piece.

Some, maybe even the majority, theists are kind (or at least tolerant) towards atheists, but it is ignorant to claim that they all are.  And those who are unkind sure are loud..just like the atheists who are unkind tend to be loud.

I use troll-away shampoo. So far, it isn't working, does great things for the hair though.

Acts of piety such as trolling an atheist forum are just a strong indication of doubt. No one with strong faith would need to overcompensate like that. Our friend, IBelieveInHymn, is likely a closed agnostic. I feel sympathy for him, because a lot of atheists including myself were once there. It's a difficult place to find yourself, and even more difficult to find your way out of. Best of luck, IBelieveInHymn.

Ibeliveinhymn has the same ip as psalm23. While it doesn't diffintivly make this a sock puppet they at the very least live in the same building. Kinda sad really.
