[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was an atheist until I spent more time around religious people who were really getting something out of it. These people didn't just go through the motions. They put there whole heart and soul into their belief, and even as a devout atheist, it touched me.

Please try harder the next time you try to impersonate a former atheist.   Or better yet, stop.  Atheists aren't devout - there's nothing to be devout about.

Also, the way you talk about religious people makes them sound like drug addicts, who put their heart and soul into drugs and seem to be getting a lot out of it.[/quote]
I really was a former atheist, and also a currant drug addict. You're right about atheism having nothing to be devout about. Pretty hard to get excited over nothing,[/quote]

Some people do get excited about atheism - for various reasons -- inlcuding that it's so misunderstood - but that's different from being devout[/quote]

Really? These people seem very devout.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an atheist because there is no god(s).       Duh.  [/quote]

Lol yup. Why does there need to be any more explanation than this? There is no proof to support the existence of any gods, and thus the existence of religion. There is plenty of proof to refute it. [/quote]

No one has a problem with atheism. It's the air of superiority that's so thick around atheists. I can smell it through my computer screen. That superiority is there because of [i]science[/i]. That magical word that makes all believers dumb and un-evolved. I guess that's what turned me off from atheism. Raw logic and rationality might work for machines, but not for humans.

What's the creation story in science? The Big Bang. Like it or not, that idea was sold to you in the same way religion was, and you don't question it because people in power said so. Science is just another organized religion. At least actual religion gives us something to believe in. [/quote]
