No amount of belief makes something a fact. :-)

Researching:

This kind of kumbaya belief isn't the reality - so I belive.

Graham, :-D
I`m not so sure about it being a fact but....

It is the mark of an educated mind, to entertain a thought without accepting it.


Maggie, would I lie to you! :-0

'Never a frown is found on a clock face'.

Begorrah! Would you be ever after believing that?

Atheism is the arrogant belief that the entire universe was not created for our benefit.

Budgie Rustler, I would agree with your sentiment if you remove the word "arrogant". I strongly believe that some time in the future, and the sooner the better, there will be no human race left on this earth. We have fought over it, plundered it, poisoned it and it will one day no longer sustain us.

Bob matey,
Atheism is a derogatory term invented by some cultist religions to denigrate folk that know there are no such things as gods.The use of the word "arrogant" that I used, is meant as a form of sarcasm.


Here's another little quip for you...
If ignorance of Nature gave birth to Gods, then knowledge of Nature is calculated to destroy them.

Atheists spend all their time rubbishing other people's beliefs.

So do religious people.

Religion does three things quite effectively: divides people, controls people, deludes people.

There is a smidgen of nonsense in every belief. Not sure what the constituent of non-belief is.

There is a popular assumption that the exercise of a modicum of intelligence would see our religious beliefs evaporate. Religious beliefs exist despite the intelligence factor.

I had a frank and meaningful exchange of views with a GW who thought that to be a decent human being one had to believe in god. I find this attitude insulting.

I think for most Christians, the Bible is like a software license. Nobody actually reads it, they just scroll to the bottom and click "I agree."

Budgie Rustler - you are trying too hard. Let the Christians think for themselves.

Actually, I do read the bible. I don't believe a word of it, but it can supply you with some good arguments. JWs don't like people who have answers for their beliefs.
