[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to talk with similarly-minded people and I want religious people to think more about their beliefs.
 
I wish I  had known about this forum when I was first questioning religion.  It would have been very helpful to know that there are seemingly intelligent, good-humored and logical people who have rejected religion.

This is one of the few places that I feel free to discuss atheism.  Being religious is the default position in the US, even though recent studies indicate that fewer people these days are religious.

Atheism is a religion too, they are as protective of their beliefs as any other religion and more skeptic of authenticity of other religions as any other religion.[/quote]

Atheism is NOT a religion.

Bald is not a hair color.

Off is not a tv channel.

Not collecting stamps is not a hobby.

Atheism is not a religion.  That is a nonsensical idea.[/quote]Atheism is certainly not a religion (there are no priests or rites) but it is a belief based upon faith that God does not exist and evolution resulted in humans appearing on earth descended from an ape-like ancestor.

The bible says, “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.”

The evidence for God is all around us. Consider a hen. Who taught the hen to build a nest and sit on its eggs until hatched?

Hens do not teach other hens to sit on eggs so we know the information to do this has programmed into the hen to this; otherwise the hen would think it pooped and go on its way.

The same question can be asked of spiders: who taught the spider with its tiny brain how to spin a web? And how would it know it could catch food that way? And how is it the spider “just so happens” —how convenient! to have spinnerets and silk glands and oil glands on its feet to not get caught in its own web?

Huh? That’s not a rational conclusion.

That’s classic: “I don’t understand something so the god(s) must have done it.”
