Chidori360 made three threads that says he hates athiests. These are bound to cause a flame war, so to counteract it, I decided to make a thread about something different.

Post here to peacefully discuss athiesm (yes, this thread actually has kind of a point). Discuss how it began, what sets it apart from other beliefs, the standing you feel it has in today's world, or something to that extent. The title was just to stick it to Chidori360 >

This is NOT a Christianity Vs Athiesm thread. If you want to bash Athiests or Christians or... anyone, really, do it in another thread. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. I love Athiests.

I am actually planning on marry religion, because I'm kind of a gold digger and, well, religion has very deep pockets.


Yeah but religion is so needy and just keeps asking for more.

lol I'll just say that my efforts are ultimately useless anyways and it should go ask Jesus for the rest - I hear he's generous to a fault.

Actually twig Jesus is pretty stingy. He's tried of ALL these people that ask him for stuff. Also Jesus secretly kicked puppies. Like this puppy:

Discuss atheism peacefully. Here's a question of interest: Do you think atheism has always been around and behind the scenes, or do you think it was never considered a possibility until the Enlightenment started taking effect?


I think it came around the Enlightenment and the Renaissance, unless there were atheists toward paganism.(There's a thought) During the Dark Ages people wouldn't have been creative enough to be atheist. With such a short life span, no literacy, and being unable to read the Bible, Christian doctrine in Europe was accepted as common knowledge to an average person.
And I don't mind atheists for the most part. Some are pretty cool but I don't know many. I just don't like the ones who give me a hard time for being Christian, especially insulting my intelligence. Give me a break, call me stupid because Im a dumb teenager not because I believe in God.

(By the way, love the thread. You guys seem like the nice kind of atheists

i believe athiesm has been around forever, it was just quickly replaced with religion. after all, you are born as an atheist, since you aren't born instantly a christian, (or whatever religion)your parents tell you its right and you believe them.

anyway, may i not point out this quote from Epicurus:

Is god willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both willing, and able?
then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him god?


now to me, that sounds pretty atheist. and this guy was an ancient roman, so thats a long time ago that he wrote that.

Most christian will say god can't effect free will thus he can't be omnipotent.

He can, he just doesn't because then it isn't free will. He wants us to have free will (if he exists). Just so you know...

Lol, this thread is practically filled with amusing crap.

Also, Epicurus made that quote in response to the Christian god - because the Ancient Roman religion was polytheist, not monotheist. And he was using the word 'god' singularly.
I'm pretty sure, at least.

well heres where i got the quote from anyway...

i know he was talking about the christian god, but i never thought of your point, he would have believed in, well now adays as its called, Roman Mythology. but my first point is still valid. you are born an atheist.

you are born an atheist.

That's debateable; an atheist is someone who rejects theism, and I doubt you know what theism is when you're born.
Anyway, I love atheists!
