Atheists To Rally On National Mall Next Month

Quote from charles052 : I guess we'll agree to disagree. Personally, I think actions speak louder than words.

What actions? Does devotion to a cause, in your mind, qualify as a religion?

Quote from charles052 : So who's going to keep us free from Atheism?

The government is not endorsing atheism and that is the only freedom to which you are entitled.

Quote : So you think the moral code of Christianity is the wrong set of morals to go by when creating and enforcing laws?

Irrelevant. Once the law is passed, that is the code that counts.

Quote : You do realize that imposing your beliefs, your morals, your standards for law and order upon others, etc... is exactly what religions do? Seems a little hypocritical to me.

Good thing I'm not doing that then.

Quote : So why should we go by Atheism, a religion in itself (we proved this in another thread),

Doubtful.

Quote : to determine how laws should be dealt with in any way, shape, or form?

Why should any religion be used in any way shape or form? It shouldn't.

Quote from vivahate : Nope. It's not a religion because a religion is the worship of a God or Gods. Atheism is, you know, pretty much the *opposite* of that

A good line I heard recently was that atheism is a religion like abstinence is a sex position.

I don't believe in atheists.

Quote from Deusxmachina : I don't believe in atheists.

THAT sounds a lot like a dogmatic and religious belief to me.

Quote from Konnichiwa : I love God.

Quote from Intrnt Explorer : "There are 40 to 50 million atheists in the United States...

Is there a link or poll to back this up? Seems WAY up there.

Quote from Danman114 : Is there a link or poll to back this up? Seems WAY up there.

32 mil in 2008 according to this poll http://b27.cc.trincoll.edu/weblog...t_2008.pdf

Well thank God, it's about time!

Quote from Mixels : What a ridiculous world we've made for ourselves.

Indeed.

This is the modus operandi of the "Minority Rights" industry.

By far the Hate Industry is centered in the Minority Victimization Industry...which is where the vast majority of demonization of other groups is coming from, and instead of being ostracized from polite society......these people are lauded and given praise, promotions, grants, awards, and adulation as "heros."

The Atheists just want in on the gravy train of the new zeitgeist. They arent stupid.

They demonize and hector Christians and Christians organizations, wage legal war on their Freedom of Religion and Expression, and then cry victim of hatred in need of protection and promotion of Atheism for understanding and tolerance sack in school.

Like I said, its beyond parody, its a farce.

Quote from dollarbill : 32 mil in 2008 according to this poll http://b27.cc.trincoll.edu/weblog...t_2008.pdf

Per that poll there are only 1,621,000 (0.7%) atheists.

That makes WAY more sense.

The Roma in Europe are an interesting study.

Because minorities don't deserve equal rights.....

And those who stand up for them need to be "ostracized from polite society."

You live in backwards land..... you certainly don't take this position about Christians living in Islamic countries.

BTW, what's a "tolerance sack"?
