"I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours." - Stephen Henry Roberts, Historian

read the book - it's good :winkwink:

and i agree with the author

Cliff notes? Or, would you rather not? :)

rather not, that would ruin it.

maybe just this - the basic message is: Religion is necessary because without religion, there would be anarchy.

I think people need to live by a set of principles, doesn't mean you need to have religion.

Anyway, I'll read it if I can, or try and find it on audible :)

Organized Religious people = Stupidity plain and simple.
There personality, beliefs and the rest is destructive to us all.

I don't think you've read very many of his speeches.

u will all burn in hell atheist people

I hope soo, my feet are always cold, lol

I am not an atheist. I am not an agnostic. I subscribe to no dogma. I don't believe in magic or miracles.

I am a mystic and trace the roots of my beliefs to my ancestors and the powers of nature as I perceive them.

I have no answers for anyone other than myself. But, with myself, I am satisfied.

after 1000 years SATAN will be released and the antichrist wll born and will be the end of the world and all non believers will die and suffer in the lake of fire

Do you believe in god Nikki? On a personal level, I would find it extremely weird if you did, and I don't mean to offend you saying that.

If you do, could you please explain why? I mentioned above as an atheist, I think human beings are born not of a specific gender.

If you wouldn't mind expressing your religious beliefs in regards to your sexuality I think that would be pretty cool of you :).

Sounds like a scary child's fairy tale. I don't see how any modern human can see it as anything more than Middle Eastern Mythology.

Made me think of:

too long history, as rock band stryper says "his gift is for those who believe"

JUUUUSSSTTTT BELIEVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

HE IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASOOONNN :GFYBand

I'm an atheist. There's no god. Humans invented this god stuff to control others, because people were getting crazy, acting like animals, so now they have this invisible powerful man to be afraid of, to respect, to worship, and still this man refuses to show his face.

Believing in god is the same as belive in a fairy tail.

This is what happens when you punch the + key to much, it bleeds! :(

i see this bullshit line of "reasoning" far too often. Just because a person 'tears apart' an idea, they're under no requirement to provide a better alternative.

The whole implication of this lame gambit is that 'if the debunker of this idea can't come up with a better idea, then his debunking is invalid'.

I'm sure everyone with more than 5 brain cells firing can see the nonsense in this.

The desire to fuck pushes evolution.
Both parents donate their genes.
That's why babies don't look exactly like their parents.
Occasionally, you get a useful trait pop up.

Hence, evolution!

Jesus is lord! :thumbsup

hallelujah
