Atheism is not a religion, right?

[Guest]

Isn't that cute? You completely ignore the FACT it is the Atheists trying to start a fight with the theists.

A basic review of that entire Reason Rally pretty much hits it on the head.

And a Religion is a collection of beliefs, and Richard Dawkins is many of their spiritual leaders. Their God is Science. And watching how much time Atheists put into attacking Theism with such violence they are almost creating their own crucade.

While the focus may be anti-God, it's still related to spiritualism. Politicians, the poor example brought up by many has nothing to do with religion.

Atheism is looking more and more like a religion every day and the more you fight it, the more it starts to become a very militant, very scary one.

I wonder if Richard Dawkins, who is not only stoking the fires of hate, but blaiming religion for the world problems, will take responsibility when his little troops start buring Churches and beating the theists in an attempt to put them in their place.

I don't see much difference between what went on at that "Reason" Rally and a Nazi Rally. With the violant hate toward theists, will special camps be in the future?

Stop with your anti-atheist propaganda. Atheists are simply trying to share their message of logic and reason with people. It is a positive message. You are trying to tear down our beliefs. You offer nothing but negativity and hate. Once you tear down atheism what do you have to offer? Do you have a better alternative for someone who is looking for logic and reason in their lives?

So...Christians get to decide what Atheists believe? is that how it works?

Sure. Atheists tell us what we believe all the time.

If you need to have heart surgery, you wouldn't have a garbage man do it. You would go to a skilled surgeon. The same is true with atheist beliefs. If you want to know what an atheist believes, why would you listen to an anti-atheist?

Wait, violence? What violence has transpired?

Or are you using "violence" in the same sense as "militant," which is often used to describe atheists who have the temerity to speak up?

No. They are not. Only a blind man with an IQ of 5 believes that is what Atheists are doing.

Go back and watch that video. Richard Dawkins and his fellow people not only mocked, insulted, and rediculed the theists, but made a call for all the attendees to do the same. They follow that with Billboards being posted in religious communities to mock their beliefs, demanding they know the religion is a myth/scam, and attacking people's ideas and beliefs.

Atheism is not a positive belief system. It is an ugly cult trying to start a war, and I think of these people continue the direction they are going, they very well WILL get a civil war.

Really? That's your best response? Disagreeing with redefinition of marriage is the same as demanding fellow Atheists directly mock, attack, and generally fight with theists?

You are stretching your argument far too thin. Try again.

Who defined marriage in the first place?
Certainly wasn't God.

Marriage (also called matrimony or wedlock) is a social union or legal contract between people that creates kinship. The definition of marriage varies according to different cultures, but is usually an institution in which interpersonal relationships, usually intimate and sexual, are acknowledged. Such a union is often formalized via a wedding ceremony. Many cultures limit marriage to two persons of the opposite sex, but some allow forms of polygamous marriage, and some recognize same-sex marriage. In some conservative cultures, marriage is recommended or compulsory before pursuing any sexual activity.

So, you want to redefine a legal and social construct that's got cock all to do with religion? You to persecute gay people and try to prevent them from achieving the same legal and social rights that you enjoy.
Now who's looking more like the Nazi party?

And you have a leading member of the Luftwaffe at the controls!

In Mormonism Gay is the new Black.

..which sounds far more interesting than anything in the Book of Mormon.

So far it is verbal violence, though it got pretty heated between the "Reason" Rally people and some pro-Christian protestors. Though I have seen some of the Atheist protestors get equally agressive at Christian events.

Just look at Scandinavia. Knee deep in civil war and atheist violence.

That's where we're headed, people.
