    When someone who believes in talking snakes uses the words "hilarious mental disorder".

    I think its a mental disorder that people in the 21st century pray to a sky god based on a 2000 year old book

    No, actually you have mistaken all the mainstream so-called religions for atheism.

    when you consider that the ONLY reason you believe the tripe you do, is because it's the tripe your parents believe.........and they dragged you to the same brain washing lessons they received.............

    and that in itself is simply a matter of PLACE and where you were born and to whom.......and during what time or era..........

    then you see the foolishness of it all.

    If you were born in ancient Egypt......you'd be making offerings to RA.

    If you were born in old Israel....you'd be slaughtering lambs at Temple.

    If you were born in Rome 200 BC you'd be praying to APOLLO.

    If you were born in Norway, you'd be praying to ODIN.

    If you were born in Greece............you'd be praying to ZEUS-

    If you born in a dozen other places, you'd be praying to Buddha or Mohammad or some elephant faced thing with 8 arms..........or a head of cabbage.....or Ron L. Hubbard, or Space aliens, with magic Underwear......or a Coke Bottle, like in that movie, "The Gods Must be Crazy".

    Your entire GOD, and belief system, is based on when and where and whose hole you popped out of.

    and which set of brainwashing instructions you were issued at BIRTH.

    so tell me, which one is the "right" one? the TRUE one? The ONLY real one?

    and which brainwashed idiot gets to decide that?

    let me guess..............Christians believe theirs is the one true one.

    and Muslims believe Mohammad is the one true one......

    and the Coke Bottle guys..........well, good luck trying to convince them.

    It's all foolishness and stupidity and superstition.

    All organisms, including humans, are born atheist. Humans of all cultures get indoctrinated.

    I doubt very much that there are many, if any, actual atheists. Most "atheists are actually angry at God. People will respond, atheists can't be angry at God because atheist don't believe in God. That doesn't mean that they aret angry at God. It means that they aren't atheists.

    If it was a matter of their not being evidence f God not existing, given that you can't prove a negative, agnosticism would be a more rational position than atheism. But, when presented with evidence of the existence of God, they deny that such evidence is evidence. They even deny that the big bang required a cause.

    It is a cult, replacing the traditional worship of God with a multitude of the gods of this world. Fortunately, it is only a temporary belief system.

    None of those things.

    It's just a word to describe someone who, having never seen, heard, read, been told, felt or experienced a single thing which would make them believe that God really exists, has rationally concluded that he doesn't.

    Atheists don't like being labeled but all of the above is technically the correct answer.

  • Atheism is the foolish and childish rejection of God. As if their acceptance or rejection is going to make any more or less real
