Great quote on a comment thread

"He [god] seems way too cowardly to tell me to my face that he is real and what's more, he has to send people in my path, many of whom are just the most arrogant, argumentive, self-righteous, judgemental sons-of-bitches imaginable, to 'witness' to me."

Stardust said...: resents the very thought that there exist mighty forces beyond his understanding

Chase - There are no gods...there might be things we do not understand but we cannot write off what we do not know as an imaginary sky friend who never speaks for himself.

Join the world of freethinkers and dump your superstitions Chase...free yourself.; 3/05/2006 9:19 PM

Stardust said...: Also, my husband, family and I are very much lovers of nature and the environment, which most christians don't seem to care about since they believe they are going on to "a better place" anyway.

I have been to 47 states, Canada and Mexico...camping out under the stars, running down the white sand dunes of White Sands, watching the whales in Maine, Climbing up Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park...walking on a huge glacier there. We have experienced nature camping in a tent in zero degree weather. Drinking from mountain streams. Nature is magnificent. The city if also magnificent. It has hustle and bustle...popcorn shops, flower and fruit markets...and a multi-cultural gathering of peoples from all over the world who, for the most part are very friendly here in chicagoland and can accept each other's beliefs. Sure there are gangs members and the crime...but that is everywhere. In the rural areas there are people like to get drunk and beat up town gays. Beat their wives and children.

I think many christians are looking at the negative because that is what they are taught to focus on...the bad..how you are bad, how the world is so bad, and the good is overlooked. I prefer to see the good in things. Chicago is an awesome town...the town of my birth. I will always hold a special place in my heart for it.; 3/05/2006 9:46 PM

There are no gods, goddesses, unicorns, Santa Clauses, Easter Bunnies, tooth fairies, ogres, pixies and whatnots. So, stop trying.
I have heard it all before. I do not accept it.; 3/05/2006 11:01 PM

I'm guilty as charged. We cannot know what we cannot know.; 3/05/2006 11:13 PM
Stardust said...: Chase - I am glad you agree about that we need to take care of the environment, but for every bible verse you quote, there can be found a quote in your dusty old book to contradict it. Read Skeptics Annotated Bible if you dare. I guarantee you will not be struck by a lightning bolt if you do.

Also, there are no gods, goddesses, unicorns, ogres, fairies, pixies, demons, devils...or whatnot...don't make me keep reminding you that you are on an atheist blog.; 3/06/2006 5:05 PM

UPDATED FOR A MODERN AGE.

Thou shalt use thine own imagination,
and not just quote from the Bible all the time.; 3/06/2006 5:27 PM
Baconeater said...: There are lots of quotes. My favorite right now is by Asia Carrera pornstar and Mensa member:

."Science explains everything. Religion is silly."; 3/06/2006 8:48 PM
JDHURF said...: Lol!! Bacon eating atheist jew, that was the best yet! You can't be wrong with porn stars on your side, lol!; 3/07/2006 3:01 AM
Stardust said...: An porn stars are probably much kinder people than some of the xians who have corrupted me to be mean here in blogland!; 3/07/2006 9:14 AM
Stardust said...: Justinother-

That's how I usually try to be. I am really a nice person! Blogland has done something to me. LOL!

I think it is the anonymity that makes it easier to just say what one wants to say out loud but we are usually too polite to. After years of holding back and letting xians just have the upper hand in EVERY conversation and event just to be polite, I think this blog is a great outlet for all that I have wanted to say out loud. I really do try to be polite and give people a chance to say what they want to say, but when they start preaching and and I ask that they stop and keep to topic and they don't stop preaching...well...I think humor works great...or the delete key. :-D

I have found atheist bloggers to have such a great sense of humor, and their blogs are interesting, creative, happy...and most are very, very witty. I think I have been having a little too much fun sometimes. LOL I have to go back to work on the 22nd and will probably go through "withdrawal" since I will only be able to check here a couple times a day.; 3/07/2006 3:41 PM
