I always like creating a thread that is titled "if your happy and you know it" and then inside the thread put smiley face clapping hands
. That is always a good conversation starter.

Not from the one that is worse then you. Just can't be asked to care about spelling or grammar so long as the context is understood.
Then again, it probably takes a bit to understand the context of much of anything I type. Still don't care.

You should read more history.
Lack of morality is a leading cause of human misery, and atheism is all about rejecting morality.
Even when they pretend its not.

you can instigate anything if you wear a large enough hoodie and carry enough skittles

Not quite true, my friend. Atheists simply do not believe in a higher power. Their world is based in science and the tangible facts. Also, not all "christians" or "muslems" or several other "faiths" out there wear clean underwear either. The Inquisition, all of the "Holy Wars", the seemingly endless hatred between faiths... not so pretty. In the end, it's just human nature. Some cling to things like a pitbull to a meat bone... even when they're wrong. And some simply cannot fathom the possibility of a deity and of life that last forever. Morality will find itself lacking in any human here and there as it is a human thing and not a "religious" thing. Believing in (a) God doesn't free you from a lack of morals... it simply tries to guide you away from them.

We have a forum for discussions about religion. Here is the link: http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread_list.pl?forum_id=3835
Lets keep it the thread on subject please.
With that said I think you need to stop using term morality, really the topic should be on truth. Everyone has morals. The question is who has the truth which our morals are based in? Look forward to seeing that answer in the above linked forums.

Its a simple thing
Atheism fits two of the standard definition of psychological abnormality. The low percentage (2% in the US), and that it flies in the face of social mores and expecations (it does) makes it a psychological problem.
As for the notion that Atheists can tell the other 98% - and 99.99 percent of human kind across history - that they are wrong and the Atheists alone are right - without anything other than their own egos and damaged mental state to tell them so - is merely proof of my statement.
Ya'll nuts.
And as for clinging to etc, every single society that has survived to the modern age has been a religious one.
Religious Faith is a Survival Trait.
So Atheists own mantra - Science! - tells them they are wrong to disbelieve.
Evolution favors believers.
I am going to take a guess and say that modern birth rates bear out that already ancient proven reality.
Non Believers die off.
Because God Wills it?
Maybe.
Or maybe no one wants to breed with nutty people.

Oops sorry, I start at the top and read down....
I'll stop busting their chops here then.
And for the record, I didn't start it.

Threaten to bench one or more of the dots of the agent who makes the least amount of posts in a 24 hour period. Live up to your promise. If there are a number of ties at zero posts, bench them all.

2%? Huh?
Pew: 20% of Americans Are Now Atheist, Agnostic or Unaffiliated With a Religion - http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2012/10/09/pew-20-of-americans-are-now-atheist-agnostic-or-unaffiliated-with-a-religion/
Has nothing to do with morality or lack there-of. Has to do with not believing in some fantastical supreme being with magical abilities and more believing in humanity - faults and all. More people killed in the name of religion than anything else - ever. You know the old saying. It's actually true, no?
Regardless, religious inclined or not, human race as a whole is going down the tubes at an ever increasing rate. Proverbial hell in a bucket - but at least I'm (we're?) enjoying the ride...
...sometimes.
