Pew: 20% of Americans Are Now Atheist, Agnostic or Unaffiliated With a Religion -


You don't read well?

2% Atheist

Agnostic is NOT atheists. Atheists say they dont know, which is sensible enough.

Unaffiliated means they believe but they do not have a particular sect they wish to name.

Atheists KNOW there is no God. An insane premise - you can NOT know. But they know it anyway.

Because they're nuts.

No culture survived without religion.

Understand what survival trait means.

Yeah this experiment seems fruitful.

That was good advice about religion back there.

Have tried politics, doesnt work as well. I think GLBers dont much care about it.

That is a two way road.

Atheists have faith there is no God. You are claiming faith is nuts above.

No human culture has survived without the appendix. Clearly the appendix is needed for survival!

There is a huge difference.

Firstly, Atheists "know" because well, you know, they just KNOW.

Whereas people of faith garner their faith from the words of the prophets and witnesses to miracles. Now you may say you dont buy that, but its evidence of whatever value you may put into it. But their beliefs are based upon the word of God as witnessed by enough people who found it credible in the past that billions of people today, and in the interim believed it.

So there is Know and Know in that regard. One is saying I KNOW what you are thinking because I think I can read minds. The other is I know what you said because someone heard you say it and told me. Get it?

Secondly - and this is more key - Faith is not Knowing. The entire concept of Faith is believing in something you can NOT know. Thats why its FAITH. I dont have FAITH in the law of gravity, its documented (at least on the macro scale more or less but dont quibble you know what I mean). No one can KNOW one way or the other. Faithful simply choose to believe.

The Atheists will tell you they KNOW fer sure there is no God, and even if they admit they DONT know they will mock you for thinking their might be, because deep down they KNOW there isnt one.

Because if they truly admitted they didnt know, they would just be agnostics and would STFU because saying "I dont know" is pretty dull stuff.

I tried to ask for Satan's help in GLB, but misspelled it "Stan" and got demoted from WL. Don't let misspellings ruin your chance at GLB!

Nah, agnostics tend to more often say "I don't care- pass me more salsa."

You dont keep up do you?

There is evidence emerging that the appendix served and continues to serve a medical purpose. We just didn't know what it was before.

I think it serves to absorb every word of the prophets.

Yes thats the funniest thing of all about Atheists.

Their beliefs are in fact just another religion.

But that just makes them nuttier because they hate all religion and mock everyone for having it.

They even have a prophet and bible (Dawkins and his book) and dogmas (they all say the same sh*t) and even a symbol and some churches and organizations.

But it drives em crazy to point that out so I save it for last as a coup de grace usually.
