to be edgy in the US I think. I remember cringing when Izzard 'dropped the 'A bomb' in a show.. Getting a standing ovation from all the other 'openly atheist' people in the audience

All that melts away when the lights are down and the bass is up.

Yeah absolutely but people do bad things for seemingly decent reasons all the time. I would have considered myself a Marxist and I remain sympathetic to aspects of it but it's been an ideology responsible for millions of deaths in a relatively short period of time. People are flawed the institutions they establish are flawed.Sheff wrote:I understand your point but if you look back in history it's not hard to find cases against that
do you not believe people have done bad things out of fear of god, regardless of whether they believe its morally wrong or not?
I chose Atheism because I've spent my whole life living in cities and have failed to come across any of the minorities you've listed. That being said, it's remarks like that that actually make me dislike atheism tbh, the possibility that 'b' may be the worse of the two does not mean that 'a' isn't bad.Sheff wrote:Yeah how annoying is it that they don't devote their life to a bunch of rules written thousands of years ago and believe in something with absolutely no scientific evidence?
You know Stalin killed 20 million people, right? And Mao killed as many as 45 million.Sheff wrote:Not that it justifies things but anti-religious crimes are just a drop in the ocean compared to the millions of things going on everyday due to religion
This one's interesting, so you believe that the question "does god exist?" can be 'answered' and you are certain that the answer is 'no'. This never occured to me before now, but I think that that's what separates me and atheism; I can agree with the latter but not the former. To me, that question is about as significant as 'is cheese tasty?', which is why people who get really aggy on one side of it tend to piss me off.Sheff wrote: And it may not be invoking peace, but its at least making progress into how the universe was formed and will only ever bring us gradually closer to finding an answer to wether or not their is a god.

It's also humans that discovered the laws of science, the scientific method is a human construct.Sheff wrote:1. what minorities?
2. yep aware
3. nope i never said that im certain the answer is no, and tbh i don't think there will ever be any definitive answer, even if we come up with some pretty damning evidence against a god there always be an unanswered question, and the easiest way for people to answer a question that science cannot yet answer is to just say "because god"
At lease science is trying to come up with logical answers instead of just blindly putting faith in something which was created by humans
humans are idiots
I cannot say there is no god, nobody can, but all i can say is that in my opinion its most probable that there isn't a god based on the evidence we have and my current beliefs
