1. What does atheism say about the purpose (or the meaning) of life?

Comment #182671 by LiseYates on May 20, 2008 at 8:25 pm

What is with the meaning-of-life questions? I've never been fond of them, especially when I was religious. Maybe we are just here. In fact, I'm almost sure that's the case.

This is where I draw the line. This idiot is telling schizos that they have demons and spirits? HE IS SCHIZO?! He should have to pay a bigger fine, I think.

I never wanted to go to church as a child so what makes them think that kids are going to be excited about chruch service on a roller coaster. Sounds like one more reason to vomit, if you ask me.

Morituri Max, I'm Black and I have no idea "what blacks think of whites". Honestly, I had no idea that we all think the same but you and your non-racist father seem to be the experts. So, what do all of us "blacks" think of "whites"?

Jake Atkinson, you're my hero.

6. People who've experienced God KNOW that God exists

Comment #177100 by LiseYates on May 8, 2008 at 2:51 pm

When I hear someone use the "experience" topic as proof of a god, I can only think of the experiment a couple of Swedish scientists performed in 2006. These scientists were studying the effects of electromagnetic stimulation on the left temporoparietal junction of a patient's brain. The results produced caused the patient to believe that someone was very close to her although she was the only person in the room.

I mention this because the religious are adamant about saying that you can't judge someone's personal experiences with a god but what if those personal experiences are nothing but the person's mind responding the stimuli people tend to create during worship (the latter is most likely the cause)? This is why I'm am furious about this distinction of science among the religious as evil. It seems some people would rather be ignorant and brainwashed all their lives than to actually think for themselves.

10. The Atheist Apocalypse

Comment #176117 by LiseYates on May 6, 2008 at 3:37 pm

That's awesome! I'm 25. After spending 18 years of my life irrationally afraid of the events discussed in Revelations, this is a breath of fresh air. And I don't think this marks atheism as a religion (depicting famous atheists as the Four Horsemen). If you know anything about Christianity eschatology, you'd know that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is synonymous with popular Christian thought and to use it against religion is priceless.

11. Fleas on the Horizon: In Defense of God

Comment #148384 by LiseYates on March 22, 2008 at 8:44 pm

"Inclusive publisher O Books offers God Without God: Western Spirituality Without the Wrathful King (June) by former Church of England priest Michael Hampson, arguing that "the God the atheist denies is not the God that people of true faith affirm," according to the book's description. "

They still don't get it. Atheists don't believe in evil, belligerant gods nor do we believe in gods on five different kinds of 'uppers' sprinkling gumdrops into the mouths of good litte Christians. They just don't get it.
