While its true that some Atheist's are only so for ignorant reasons...the idea of atheism is questioning how a society can be so sure of an all knowing being.
atheist's are a much more existentialistic people.

It is a fact that people pick and choose from the bible... otherwise there would be stonings and beheadings.

Nice post. I have posted on another thread elsewhere on this august forum dealing with Christians. I think most of you know which one. There are extremists in each camp. Militant atheists are just as bad as militant Christians, militant Muslims, militant Hindus, militant fans of Ferrari, militant fans of Manchester United, and Real Madrid. The problem is that atheists do not really want to understand the Bible. They pick and chose what passages to question while by passing the really compelling ones. Check this out Biblical Prophecy - Daniel's 70 Weeks. I posted this expecting a horde of atheists and agnostics to come running with refutation on the subject. All I got was the sound of crickets and a couple of believers saying "good post". Maybe it is that the non-believers don't wish to address this issue (or prophecy). When you read that an atheist has claimed to have read the Bible, ask that person, "Then what is your response to Daniel Chapter 9. You will probably hear crickets.

This is really sad. Atheists don’t know anything. People who are religious do not know anything. There are so many arguments on both sides, to think one side is right, without us truly knowing what this universe really is....is just ignorance at its best.
7 You say the Bible is utterly made up non-sense, then use stories from it to condemn God…who you claim doesn’t exist. A- hey the Bible is your theory and to disprove your theory, we need to cite the source material. It's just shameful to take a work of mythology as 100% historical fact. Most of it was written hundreds of years after the time of 'Jesus' anyway.

You mean like math, physics, chemistry, etc? How do you believe in something that works? You are using a computer. You don't "believe" in computer. It's right there working.
