atheists

Atheists seem to assume that people who believe in God and an afterlife are mentally weak and gullible. Thereby assuming intellectual superiority over them. But have they considered what it means to really believe you are answerable to a higher power in everything you do? Is it not easier and...

Clive James has died.:( Clive amused us with comments like: "advertising agencies for a product that doesn't exist" when describing religions, and saw atheism as the obvious default position to take. Hard to argue against this presumption I think, given that children raised without being...

Lawrence Krauss is the latest to be accused of sexual misconduct, the accusations going back years. https://www.buzzfeed.com/peteraldhous/lawrence-krauss-sexual-harassment-allegations In this case, it seems to be mostly inappropriate behaviour, though some of the allegations, if true, could...

Here is a summary of an interesting new study that reveals that Atheists thought immoral, even by fellow atheists. And it revealed that "atheists are broadly perceived as potentially morally depraved and dangerous." The study measured the attitudes of more than 3,000 people in 13 countries on...

Saw this today: http://religionnews.com/2016/04/20/dying-christopher-hitchens-considered-christianity-new-book-claims/ I haven't read the book yet, but reading the comment by the author and this article sounds to me like either a) this guy sold out the memory of his friend or b) he's revised...

I've heard this claim a few times but only really from the modern feminist-type crowd (what you might refer to as SJWs typically) I suspect that it is only this group that feels unwelcome in the atheist/skeptic community and that it is based on their ideas being challenged by the skeptics in...

How atheists became the most colossally smug and annoying people on the planet http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/brendanoneill2/100230985/how-atheists-became-the-most-colossally-smug-and-annoying-people-on-the-planet/ "When did atheists become so teeth-gratingly annoying? Surely...

http://www.alternet.org/belief/5-most-awful-atheists An article by Ian Murphy on alternet gives his list of "The 5 Most Awful Atheists". (I read it via a link on Pharyngula.) In my opinion, an article like this is rather tawdry. I am not fond of cheap titles like the one used for this article...

Not sure if this belongs here or in Religion and Philosophy but my thoughts about this would accurately be described as General Skepticism: http://www.christianpost.com/news/former-atheist-activist-patrick-greene-responds-to-critics-72768/t "One of the major factors in his changing his...

Local skeptic/atheist group, Backyard Skeptics, are planning on ripping pages out of a Bible in my hometown. http://www.ocregister.com/news/bible-317251-gleason-say.html Personally, I'm opposed. Seems to fall into the "being a dick" category.

I really hope this is some sort of joke, but according to the Daily Koz, some Fundies want a registry of atheists; presumably to 'keep an eye on them'. I really hope this is some sort of joke, but according to the Daily Koz, some Fundies want a registry of atheists; presumably to 'keep an eye...

http://friendlyatheist.com/2011/02/16/billy-ray-cyrus-scared-of-atheist-sign/ Makes me ashamed to be an atheist. Really? All this power and Billy Ray Cyrus is the best we can do?

An uplifting video that shows there might be light at the end of the tunnel, however infrequently it is seen. B1a3J3LQhUs Maybe it is worth spreading it if you can. It would be nice if it went viral .... Probably. .

This thread has been created by merging numerous threads that are all essentially critiques of atheism. The threads they were merged from are as follows. : The Self-Induced Poverty of Theism The "Sins" of Atheism Revisited A Savior Called Atheism The Poverty of Agnosticism Name That...

S. E. Cupp has been on my radar for a while. She has appeared numerous times on Fox News promoting her new book on the media's attack on Christianity... The selling point is that she is an atheist. Linky. Now this could go in Social Issues or Politics, but I wondered what others made of her...

I'm about to start reading "There is a god" by Anthony Flew, having been given it to read by my mother. "In There Is a God, one of the world's preeminent atheists discloses how his commitment to "follow the argument wherever it leads" led him to a belief in God as Creator. This is a compelling...

The landowner of a site who rented a billboard to atheists for their message, had it taken down recently because of threats he received. Here's the revised link: http://www.wcpo.com/news/local/story/Godless-Billboard-On-Display-In-Cincinnati/s7nk8IwldUqtprdBCPNW7w.cspx Okay, to our Believer...

So who of you actually is an angry Atheist - in contrast to all the calm ones posting in here? :D

Billboards have gone up for a month letting atheists in the Metroplex they are not alone. There's no comments on that story, but when I get time I'm going to check other sites for commentary. I'm sure the local fundies will be outraged. There were two negative calls to KDFW Fox 4's Viewers...

I know this may seem like a stupid question, but I'm quite curious. I now call myself a "Catholic Atheist" (to those among whom I am "out" as an atheist, which is another matter altogether), because, to paraphrase the common saying, "you can take the boy out of the church, but you can't take...

I recently heard someone say that religion has nothing to do with physic powers and psychics can be atheists. It got me thinking... A lot of psychics claim that their "powers" come from God and their Christian faith. There are others that credit another God or being for their "abilities". Most...

1. I can say "goddam" & "christ almighty" as much as I want without insulting them. 2. They know lots of cool words (some in latin!) 3. They sound smart (even when they aren't!) 4. The Flying Spaghetti monster is kinda cool. 5. For the most part they aren't cultish. 6. They are mostly...

Tim?

A guy at work has started bringing in a book entitled 'Mystery 666', it looks fairly old and battered and appears to have been self or vanity published. No author is given but the cover features the 'eye in the pyramid' of the US dollar bill inside a red 'swirl' pattern. A short note on the...

I was just waiting for something like this.... http://racinepost.blogspot.com/2007/12/atheists-pryamid-joins-nativity-scene.html

I opened up the Daily Sentinel (Grand Junction, CO) from Sunday, Dec. 2, and in the Local News section, found the headline (2 inches high), "State of Disbelief". It was sub-headed, "Atheists say display shows different concept;library patron upset at having to wait to present rebuttal". I read...

A contradiction if I've ever heard one... How long do you think it'll be, before someone's 'offended' by this? http://www.dailylocal.com/WebApp/appmanager/JRC/Daily?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=pg_article&r21.pgpath=/DLN/Home&r21.content=/DLN/Home/TopStoryList_Story_1172335
