Okay, I am on a lunch, but I wanted to respond.

Lou, your worldview is just as wacky as the rest of us. You claim no God… welcome to the straight jacket club. You have to claim all knowledge to say that God doesn’t exist… don’t answer… think…

Godless…
atheism not creating Utopias… go to Google… Christian societies not creating Utopias… go to Google… Figure it out… use your mind and understand the message of Christ for my consistent view on why this happens…

BTW, thanks for not sharing your story as it would prove nothing anyway.

Angry? That seems to be you, kind fellow :) Living in reality really does take the stress off of worrying about that abyss you fret over.

Pathetic? Depends on how one views sane versus insane. So yes, we can play “I know you are but what am I” all day and both declare ourselves victors. Proves absolutely nothing.

No one here is suggesting you abandon your delusion, so chillax :)

It is your brethren that come on here suggesting we abandon reality in favor of fairy tales.

No; you’re wrong. God is most certainly real. If I told you my story, you’d tell me I was lying – and you’d be certain in your conviction. You cannot know and will not know God as your bias leads you by the nose into the blind abyss. Your motive in proving God doesn’t exist is born of ignorance and fear. You don’t know that, nor do you have the capability to understand. This in itself will anger you. You are most vulnerable as you know nothing as to why you exist. Live the paradox and proclaim your nothing. The proof that God exists is beyond your comprehension. Your pea brains are your limiting devices. Lead your pathetic lives in your scientific search of that which will only elude you. We poke fun at idiots too. And that would be you. Are we angry yet as we clamber to reply? Your point? You have none. What a pathetic lot.

Enlighten us. Which country, under any theocratic rule, past or present, would you define as utopic? One where every citizen’s rights, including those that did not ascribe to the prevailing theocracy, were equally upheld and not trampled on by said prevailing theocracy in some way? Pot. Kettle. Black. IMHO.

Apparently YOU believe that YOU have enough knowledge to make that claim.

You know atheism has a stellar reputation for creating Utopias? For those with the synaptic flow density of Iridium, that was sarcastic.

Show me where I said “atheism is a belief system” and I will apologize for calling you a liar. Since you cannot, the evidence speaks for itself. As for you being an idiot, nothing I can do about that. Someone who completely misses the point of a discussion and then continues to comment on it in a completely irrelevant manner is by definition, idiotic.

“First, I said no such thing.”

Yes you did. You are very confused. Oh no, you called me an idiot. That hurts.

You are an idiot and a liar. First, I said no such thing. Secondly, way to miss the point completely. Or, are you simply conceding the idiotic assertion that the amount of charitable contributions is somehow related to the reality of your claims about the existence of gods and other mythical creatures… Which IS intact, a belief system,

“if some atheist… like say, Bill Gates, decided to give 98% of his personal wealth to charity… would that, in your judgement make atheism true?”

I thought atheism wasn’t a belief system but here we have DPK referring to it as a belief???? These cats are the most confused and flaky bunch I have ever encountered. They don’t know what they believe.
