Yes, this website is dominated by anti-religious sentiment - for anyone with a moral core out there reading - you should be aware of this before you decide to spend any time here.

For the people reading this who disagree with me, think about what I said.

atheists spend more time talking about God and religion than the pope does.

they have this fixation on God that it borders on insanity and to a normal human being they appear angry, bitter, hateful and resentful to something that they believe doesn't "exist".

if they talked about santa claus like they do God, they'd be institutionalized, possibly for many years, and heavily dosed with powerful psychiatric medications.

but since God exists, people tolerate their misguided positions as long as they don't implement their atheism like stalin and pol pot.

atheists should re-examine their stance since something that supposedly doesn't "exist" to them affects their life so much.

It affects our lives in the form of our societies being shaped by religion, and I'll give you a hint- it doesnt shape it in a good way! That isnt imaginary, unlike peoples gods.
Religion is hindering our evolution. Its pretty important stuff, that's why we take it so seriously.

Underlined above another cliche used by religious zealots against atheists, well guess what I have morals , happily married for many years, 2 kids brought up well, who don't cause problems for others they have done well at school never been in trouble with the police etc they have never attended church unless taken by the school.

They have turned out all right the same for my wife and myself only ever at church if dragged along for a wedding/funeral etc.

So do you want to explain your comment?

Although religious people like to think they have the monopoly on morality YOU DON'T.

This is a very succinct way of explaining why atheists are more vocal, more vociferous against the absurdities of religion.

It pleases me not in the slightest that religionists want to shape society to their way of thinking. It would be a most abhorrent state! and I will resist such a thing. Religion and state should forever be separate! If Romney had won the election, religionists would have had a foothold on the throat of governmental power...it just doesn't bear thinking about. It would've been a most sneaky way to bring religion and state together. Watch those candidates with a very discerning eye!

I will not accept nor tolerate religious absurdity, and if that means I don't tolerate or accept moderate religionists then so be it! Religion really is a stunter of humanity's growth. It is an obstacle we have to outgrow, and we cannot do that by being either tolerant or silent...it has to be engaged, civilly and decorously, but it must be engaged with.
