Really? Nothing about our invisible friend in the sky? Critters2 Dec 2011 #7

I could care less who you pray too, or who you worship. Taverner Dec 2011 #9

FWIW, my invisible friend doesn't live in the sky. Critters2 Dec 2011 #13

FWIW, whatever you wanna do - as long as it doesn't infringe on me - I'm cool Taverner Dec 2011 #14

Backatcha. nt Critters2 Dec 2011 #17

Let me put it this way: I don't care what makes you want to help. I do care that you do help. Taverner Dec 2011 #11

I really still am confused as to all the atheist activity in the Religion forum Critters2 Dec 2011 #8

Atheism is not a religion Taverner Dec 2011 #10

i invite you to read Hawking's theories Betty Karlson Dec 2011 #23

Or as we would say in my church: Betty Karlson Dec 2011 #29

There's actually quite a bit of discussion as to whether Hawking qualifies as atheist... Critters2 Dec 2011 #26

There's a bit of a discussion whether the pope still qualifies Betty Karlson Dec 2011 #27

I don't think it's my business to decide whether any self-defined Christian really is. Critters2 Dec 2011 #28

It is a religion when RegieRocker Feb 2012 #36

The onus is not on me to disprove god, but for you to prove of his existence Taverner Feb 2012 #41

No. Fail. RegieRocker Feb 2012 #43

Can you disprove the existence of an invisible, pink unicorn? No. Then fail. Taverner Feb 2012 #44

Tav. You were on safe ground as long as you came across as being warm, fuzzy and friendly. Thats my opinion Feb 2012 #49

I have a low tolerance for BS Taverner Feb 2012 #50

No, Atheism is a faith. A faith that there is nothing beyond death, which is not provable. Kurmudgeon Feb 2012 #47

No - that doesn't make it a faith Taverner Feb 2012 #48

It's reasonable for atheists to want to discuss religion. Mariana Dec 2011 #21

That analogy doesn't really work. Critters2 Dec 2011 #22

No it isn't reasonable. RegieRocker Feb 2012 #31
