No, it does not, amputees prove this.

‘An atheist is an unhappy man’

I am an atheist, i am also happy (most of the time), your argument is invalid.

‘Atheism is a trap. It is a sales job to convince us a shabby flophouse is a luxury hotel, a hoax that imposes on our life limits that don’t actually exist. It is nothing more than the angry insistence of our vanity and envy, a refusal to accept that there is anything greater than “Me.”’

Honestly, i dont know what to say, this sentence makes no sense at all…

‘Now, going before God and pretending to be His equal, going, “Okay, God, it says such-and-such here, so prove to me You’re real by doing it!”’

in the bible it states many things, these things are impossible, and no matter how hard you try, will not happen, ever. This proves that he cannot do these things, and hence doesnt exist. If i had indefinite power, i would have designed a more efficient race and helped them do anything they liked, i would not want worship (a little would be nice ;P), just ask and i would do it. this makes me better than your god.

Your actions betray the falsity of your words.

Perhaps you would be better living a happy life rather than wasting this one afraid of eternal torment, afraid of finding out that you are wrong and – and this comes over in spades – desperately, fearfully afraid of someone taking away your “hope”.

Perhaps if you substituted reality and a joy of living, you wouldn’t be so afraid of losing your “hope”.

We all hope you can find happiness in what is left of your life. Giving up your desperate “hope” for the nonsense of eternal life might be a good start.

begone you dumb, friar, motherfucker. what makes you think your shit carries any more weight than the rest of the dipshits.

eternal life? what a fucking joke. it goes hand in hand with that ultimate bullshit called redemption. atheists can see right thru your ruse, you transparent, righteous, bible thumping fuck. go! of course, you won’t be back, like the rest of the assholes.

next, rollcall for the rest of the idiot socks.

Of couirse, prayer works! I have daily experience of it!

Now, going before God and pretending to be His equal, going, “Okay, God, it says such-and-such here, so prove to me You’re real by doing it!” doesn’t work. We are not God’s equals, and for Him to respond to such a thing would be to enter into our self-created fantasy–when what He really wants is to draw us into Reality.

Atheism is a trap. It is a sales job to convince us a shabby flophouse is a luxury hotel, a hoax that imposes on our life limits that don’t actually exist. It is nothing more than the angry insistence of our vanity and envy, a refusal to accept that there is anything greater than “Me.”

An atheist is an unhappy man, living a resentful life and promising nothingness as something.

A Christian is a happy man, living a joyful life even when he’s experiencing sorrow, and conveying God’s Promise of hope, a future, and a present reality that reveals itself as much more than anything we could create for ourselves.

Why would we want to listen to anyone whose objective is to destroy our hope and embitter our lives, and deny us access to the beauty which is all around us, and the joy that comes from letting that beauty put us in touch with its–and our–Creator? Such a one is always talking about what “makes sense,” but honestly–what sense does
that make?

a savage? au contraire mon fraire, once they realize, the world will be more civilized and caring. sure, there will always be assholes, but not because of their religion.

what about the atheist this, atheist that, ape evolution, hitler, blah, blah? everybody knows, it’s crap. they think by constantly repeating it, it will become true. remember the church back then? the earth is the center of the universe, the earth is the center…
