solaranus posted:Really what the the hell do atheists talk about? Their entire ideology consists of pretending a major part of their symbolic reality is not worthy of exploring on the premise of it's "not real", yet it moves mountains. Give some credit to the guys, they were only a couple hundred years separated from having to fight off big cats with wooden sticks and stone, and yet they managed to forge communities of tens of thousands of people with these ideas. There's a big difference between atheists and anti-theists. Atheists are functionally the same as agnostics, with the difference being their opinions on God will flip when presented with evidence to one way or the other. Which is pretty much impossible to prove either way, really. Anti-theists never shut up about not believing in God. They often call themselves atheists but they are not. They are tremendous assholes about it. Atheists are actually pretty cool people, most of the time.

Whoa. I've heard this old country song.

NONE. i simply LACK a belief in god bc of no evidence. i mean, do u call people who dont believe in zeus or the fsm 'azeusists' or 'aflyingspaghettimonsterists'? nope. you dont

God's just a fictional character put into your head by pre-existing stories like Goku, Superman, Alexander, etc. Believe nothing except what you see then also realize your eyes can't be trusted.

when you show me physical evidence of gods existence then i'll completely change my position and believe in god. that's what scientists do. when their theory is disproved they are HAPPY ABOUT it and they congratulate the person who proved them wrong. ever seen a priest do that? nope, you havent.

lets not forget slavery of africans. dont give me that stuff about christians stopping it. yeah,they used the language of religion but it was not because they were religious they stopped it, but because they were just nice people with commonsense understanding

And we sort of evolved before push up bras and corsets existed. evolution says that everything has a purpose that makes us adapt to passing on our genetics throughout the generations. therefore, i mean, butts are what you see when your passing on your seed, its what gets us down there in the first place, because thats where the female vagina is. to trick men with inferior genetics into not having sex with them women grew tits so the man just cums on those without knowing she just washes it off and moves on to find a real man, with butch dna. that's just science
