Christianity isn't a religion. The resurrection of Jesus silences all arguments to the contrary.
Christians believing in stuff like "the resurrection of Jesus" is what makes Christianity a religion.

So arrogant.

Just because you could be convinced otherwise does not actually apply your skeptism to your own beliefs, until convinced otherwise.
You're the pot calling the kettle black when the kettle isn't even black. The epitome of the arrogant, condescending Christian. You are literally the "Holier Than Thou" stereotype.

It's good to be open minded and admit that you don't know and can be wrong.

Good luck with getting people to admit they're wrong around here
But to admit you are wrong is to claim that you now know what is right and therefore not open minded. 🙂
Besides, being wrong does not resonate with me.

I wasn't saying that people need to admit that they are wrong. I was saying that people shouldn't be so blindly prideful and admit that it's possible that they could be wrong.

Atheists want proof.
Some want to believe, but without direct proof, they won't.
Despite the marvels of the human body and brain.

To add: if a person does not have enough intellect to realize that 'design' is probable, then I question their intellect.

If an atheist claims that he has an open mind to 'intelligent design', then he is NO longer an atheist.....he is an agnostic.

That isn't proof. That proves that god exists as much as it proves evolution or any other theory. It's a moot point. Come back when you have something worth saying.

The human body, and brain are in fact, proof.
Arrogance blinds this truth.

Also, I'm open to the Agnostic label. Though I don't see why the universe would need to be designed to begin with. You can question my intellect all you want, but it doesn't make your argument any stronger, it just wastes time.

It does. You are very right indeed. But is your "Truth" really true? Or is it just something you're afraid to let go of?

Fine.
I have listened to men titled with PHD, but their words are quite stupid.
The evidence proves 'design'.

Keep yourself blind, I don't give a shiit.
Only a dummy believes in nothing.
We came from nothing?
Your faith 'in nothing' is more absurd than religion, and I am calling you out in your absurdity!!!

Just because I don't believe in your god character doesn't mean I believe in nothing. I don't have the answers, and I don't need the answers. I do not strive to know the unknowable. Now please calm yourself down, I have no desire to listen to the drunken ramblings of a confrontational theist.

This goes for all atheists!
Religion may be wrong, the bible may be wrong. But to ignore 'design', immediately tells me I am dealing with a weak mind. Almost stupid to evidence beyond the bible.
