One of the funniest aspects of the dcum religion forum is the atheist and anti theistic posters who pretend huge, important theological and philosophical questions that humankind has been struggling with for centuries are known to them alone. Out of all people who ever lived and live now, the dcum internet atheists know:

-God isn’t real
-prayer doesn’t work 
-when a human dies, they simply cease to exist 
-humans do not experience an afterlife 
-there is nothing beyond the physical world

Our friendly dcum atheists without fail present the above as absolute fact.

The greatest thinkers/philosphers/teachers do not claim to know these things. They have opinions on these things, like most of us do.

[i]But the dcum atheist knows these things. [/i]

And…almost every single DCUM believer presents their gods/jesus/bible as absolute fact.

They believe in special sky voodoo. 
They don’t understand science. 
They think their gods actually exist.

Having a personal belief is much different than stating a fact.

Some of the greatest scientists in history believed in God.[/quote]

They state their beliefs as facts.

God does this. 
Jesus did that.

Most modern scientists don’t believe in god.

About 51% of scientists believe in God or a higher power.

A survey of scientists who are members of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press in May and June 2009, finds that members of this group are, on the whole, much less religious than the general public. Indeed, the survey shows that scientists are roughly half as likely as the general public to believe in God or a higher power. According to the poll, just over half of scientists (51%) believe in some form of deity or higher power; specifically, 33% of scientists say they believe in God, while 18% believe in a universal spirit or higher power.
