It seems like since Atheism became a "religion" (which is ironic in itself), the world no longer gives a crap. People believe that they are just animals, so they act like them, that's why the U.S's government is failing.
Wut. Explain the following: A) how atheism is a religion, B) your evidence for the world no longer giving a crap, C) your evidence people's belief that they are just animals, D) your evidence that people are just acting like animals (in a derogatory sense, obviously), and E) your evidence that the US government is failing (it's having some difficulties, certainly, but I don't believe for an instant that it's actually in danger of collapsing as things stand. No president within living memory could have pulled that one off without deliberately trying). Seriously, what you said there is like the perfect storm of things that are the opposite of true. I applaud you on your ability for satire, if that's what it was.
Another question for Atheists, why do they call any religious people stupid because we rely on books written by people smarter then they'll ever be and then waste millions on millions of dollars on supporting completely unprovable things, and calling it the truth.
What? No, see, atheists (of which I am not one, by the way, and let me make clear that I do not think people are stupid for being religious, although in your case I might make an exception) accuse religious people of being stupid because of blindly following a contradictory and unsupportable text on the basis that that very text tells them to. And, for the record, scientists spend millions and millions of dollars to either prove something else WRONG, or support an idea (which, while virtually always un
provable must necessarily be testable, or else they wouldn't get funding, believe me). Generally, scientists don't call anything the truth, they just call things not the truth or
likely to be the truth.
Here's a good quote against Atheism:
"If there's a God, and you believe in him, you're good. If there isn't a God, and you don't believe in him, you're good. If there isn't a God, and you believe in him, you're good. If there is a God, and you don't believe in him, you're screwed."
That's only a 25% chance of "being good" and set. Since we go for the 75% right, we're stupid.
Yeah, you make a good point there. Have you made your offerings to Zeus lately? Remember, if Zeus exists and you don't respect him properly, you're going to Tartarus, whereas if he does exist and you do, you get to go to Elysium or better. Of course, if he doesn't, it doesn't matter either way, but it's best to be on the safe side, am I right?
Don't stop reading yet, because this is a Christian saying.
Another fun fact, it takes more faith to be Atheist then it does to be religious, isn't that ironic too? You have more of what you're against, that's stupid.
Explain how? Seriously, the point of being an Atheist isn't having faith that there is no God, it's saying that based on all available evidence, every god thus far described by humanity is
extraordinarily unlikely to exist. And I fail to see how even the fallacious claim that it DOES mean the former means it requires more faith. It should, at the best for your statement, require precisely the same amount.
Yet another fact, it is more provable that Jesus was the Son of God then it is to say that George Washington was the U.S's first president.
Yes, we have far better documentation of George Washington's presidency than of Jesus' divinity (which, recall, Jesus himself never claimed). I could, given access to some of the nicer areas in the Library of Congress, almost certainly find you hundreds upon hundreds of documents bearing George Washington's signature as the President of the United States and contemporary accounts of his actions as President. Jesus has one book that wasn't standardized until 300 years after his death.
Your quite frankly outrageous statement that there has been no documented evidence of evolution is staggering, but has been far more effectively countered than I could possibly arrange to have done, but let me add that numerous aspects of existing life make no goddamn sense if you don't look at them with evolution in mind. Your ear, for instance, has two cranial nerves innervating it, despite its small size and the great distance between the nerves. This makes sense, because the bones (and attached muscle) that currently make up the ear USED to be jaw bones that were separated by a fair bit, and it was sensible for them to have separate nerves. Or look at the tongue; it has 5(!) different cranial nerves that lead to it, and the only way this makes sense is if God was preposterously high while He was Creating (although that would explain a hell of a lot), or if the tongue was cobbled together from 5 disparate muscle sets (which it was). There is INCREDIBLY well documented transition from fin bone structure in lobe-finned fishes to tetrapod, and the ancestral arrangement of humerus, radius + ulna, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges, remains in essentially every living vertebrate known. This doesn't make much particular sense, unless God was unimaginative in addition to being stoned out of his gourd, since there innumerably more sensible ways of accomplishing the same task. I could go on, if you'd like.
tl;dr You don't know what you're talking about. Take some biology courses and come back, kthxbai.
To everyone else: Sorry about that rant, it felt necessary.
