Part 3

1.Why do atheists seem so bitter?

2.Why are they willing to believe in Santa before they would believe in god?

3.If question 2 isn't accurate, please correct me

4.Why do they feel so compelled to shove their views down our throats?
I mean isn't that what they accuse Christians of doing? So why does the Author of The Golden Compass say that Atheists need to spread their message more in this country? Why resort to the same practices you accuse believers of doing?

5.Why do we need to "top" each other in the debate involving god existing or not existing? We will neve rhave answers so why carry on this drawn out debate when neither side knows the true meanings.

6.Why do Atheists seem like Know It All jerks that just want to prove you wrong for the sake of sounding smarter than a religious person.

7.How do Atheists know for sure God doesn't exist? Why believe scientists that can't even explain why the stars align the way they do, or how the universe came to be. I mean look into the cosmos and see the perfect patterns that stars make, the constellations. Its so perfectly put together it has to be deeper than what modern science can give me.

8.Science Book, Bible. Why is one more legitimate then the other?
Science books contain just as many guesses and predictions that the good book does.

9.Lastly, I'm not racists but, does it seem that Atheists are usually white?

10.Finally, I think Madonna's grudge with the Catholic Church is out of hand. She's so bitter with Christianity that she goes and converts to Jewish Faith? If your that damaged from childhood by the Christian faith, why not just denouce religion altogether?

11.Sidenote, Madonna is a talentless hag that struck gold with her sexual nature and looks. Now look at her, talking in that weird British accent. Isn't she from like Detroit or something?

your rants are getting more and more disjointed

Man of Tomorrow, you still haven't responded to the discussions in your other "questions threads".

Also, as an atheist, I'm more than glad to answer questions regarding atheism as long as such questions are answerable (unlike those above). Your questions above pose 'atheists' as a single organism which can be characterized without differentiation between individuals. On the contrary, "a-theism" merely means a lack of belief in God. Without "theism, "atheism" could not exist. Therefore, an atheist could be anyone from a secular scientist, to a Buddhist monk, to a New Ager. Heck, atheists are even in disagreement on the existence of God believe it or not (some are classified as 'weak atheists' [agnostics, etc.] while others are 'strong atheists' [who take the positive assertion that God does not exist or it is highly improbable that he does]).

It's counterintuitive to pose 'atheism' as a set of beliefs as you do in your questions.

Likewise, it logically follows then that one atheist can be a bitter arrogant asshole, while the next as a perfectly humble and tolerant individual. Your questions are unanswerable because they assume false premises.

I think it comes from them going against a basic part of the human psyche.

I don't know.

I don't know of any adults who believe in Santa.

Everybody has an "issue". Theirs happens to be religion.

5.Why do we need to "top" each other in the debate involving god existing or not existing? We will neve rhave answers so why carry on this drawn out debate when neither side knows the true meanings.

Some people identify with their religion and if you don't agree, you are "wrong".

6.Why do Atheists seem like Know It All jerks that just want to prove you wrong for the sake of sounding smarter than a religious person.

I've noticed that too. I don't know. But then again, I can't stand hyper-religious types that think their religion is THE ANSWER.

7.How do Atheists know for sure God doesn't exist? Why believe scientists that can't even explain why the stars align the way they do, or how the universe came to be.

Words can't explain how much I agree with that statement.

8.Science Book, Bible. Why is one more legitimate then the other?

Agreed. I think the Bible is great if you think the Earth and humanity is all there is. But when you think on a larger scale, the Bible is kinda lacking in "real" knowledge.

9.Lastly, I'm not racists but, does it seem that Atheists are usually white?

That's something to google...Maybe I'll look into that tomorrow.

As for Madonna, I liked her more housey and club stuff, but I'm not a fan of "her". And her fake as accent IS spooky and fake sounding. I don't care about her religious leanings.
