Come on man! "Appears to be genetically controlled"?
Why on earth does everybody think we can be reduced to a pile of interacting chemicals and electrical impulses? For the love of God, can't you SEE that you are made of more than that?
It's late. I'm tired. Good night!

Of course God is real, how could you hate someone that much who isn't real? Have you ever felt that kind of hatred for a chair? Why does Jesus piss so many people off? Because He is real, and He is who He says He is.
We hate people like you who chose to believe in 'him' with zero evidence.
We hate people who kill in 'his' name, 'mutilate' in his name, prejudice in 'his' name, prevent abortion and contraception in 'his' name, hate homosexual in 'his' name, are sexually repressed in 'his' name, etc, etc, etc in 'his' name

Originally posted by StarrmanNo surprise there, you seem pretty souless to me.
There's no such thing as a soul, in my opinion.
Was that supposed to be amusing, cutting, or even evidence? Try again.
God screwed ya, now deal with your empty life by yourself .. or ask howard to show you how.
He always seems optomistic .. and just your type too.

People like you are the reason atheists are stereotyped.

How can you feel any other way when people inflict their willful ignorance on everyone else?
The world would be a damn sight better off without them.

Originally posted by whodeywhodey: It seems that ALL religions want a peice of him [i.e. Jesus] in some way.
I would not say that all nonbelievers hate Christ. Many simply are lost and do not know a better road to follow. Some are simply blinded spiritually etc. Christ said that those who do hate him do so because some hate the light that he brought into the world that exposed man's wickedness. In other words, they prefer their own wickedness and selfish pursuit ...[text shortened]... to then say that his statement of exclusivity is either misinterpreted or fictional in origin.
Utter nonsense. Jews don't seem to "want a piece" of Jesus at all. And there are religions and belief systems that pre-dated Jesus by thousands of years like Hindiuism, Buddhism, etc. etc. that are utterly unconcerned about Jesus. Why Christian Fundamentalists spout such rubbish is beyond me.

And I do too. I have no time for this kind of pious xxxx that passes for Christianity. Jesus predicted that there would be those that would kill in God's name and be so deluded that they would think they were doing God a favour. You think you hate all the terrible things done in God's name , your hate is nothing compared to God's righteous anger. When you say these things you are closer to God than you will ever know.
