Athiests of America

[Spyder]

Interesting site. A HS friend of mine makes the comics. This is a site that the atheists will probably like best...and people who at least think a bit about religion/spirituality.

I've only quickly ran through the articles, but they looked fine and interesting.

Allah forbid someone else's religious beliefs are different than yours.

Yeah I cbf atheists. I've met many in high school even middle school and most of them are assholes. The ones I'VE met think they know everything, concerning everything.

I consider myself an agnostic. I act like an asshole to a bible-thumper friend of my brothers, because he's a goddamn idiot. He's 18, still smokes pot, gets drunk, and has stolen shit from our house (a $200 video mp3/mp4 player comes to mind, and my $50 cd player I had for 3 years - he stole that about a year and a half ago, ps2 game(s), etc., and tries to sleep with girls as young as 12. He came in one day and was spewing some bible shit because he knew thought I was atheist, he was like "Cody why are you an atheist?" I told him I was an agnostic; considering myself a seeker of the truth. He was like "Well, I've already found the truth." and I started flicking him off and he was like "why are you doing that" and I replied "oh I'm sorry I thought you were blind." it was awesome. Other countless ownings, include hacking his myspace and putting a bunch of pictures on it making fun of the bible (a pic of a bible with one those explicit material stickers on it, replaced his display pic with shitting dicknipples (you don't want to see this one btw.) a pic of a guy fucking a whale (real.) and a bunch of other awesome shit. For books, I put "I enjoy reading Science Fiction novels such as: The Bible" etc. It was awesome, lasted for a couple of hours, it was more of a prank than anything though.

The morale of the story: I don't want to hear your bible-thumping bullshit. You'd have better luck selling your story at a star trek convention or something.

There are some basic principles that I agree with; following rules and laws, having morals, etc. I believe more in a personal god (and the law of attraction lulz?) than I do a extra-dimensional god.

Also, some studies are showing that certain primeates are developing morals; thus concieving that morals are developed with evolution, and not by the might of god

I found a great webpage with some awesome quotes on it a few months ago on digg and bookmarked it http://www.vagabox.com/vagabox01.html

Here are some of my favorites:

The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers.
~ Denis Diderot

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius, and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.
~ Albert Einstein

A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.
~ Albert Einstein

Religion, comprises a system of wishful illusions together with a disavowal of reality, such as we find in an isolated form nowhere else but in amentia, in a state of blissful hallucinatory confusion.
~ Sigmund Freud

Saman, this is for you:

The ink of the scholar is holier than the blood of the martyr.
~ Prophet Muhammad

Favorite:

If god created us in his image we have certainly returned the compliment.
~ Voltaire

And there are a shitton more on the page, all are pretty great imo.

[Saman]

you fucking idiots have terrible memory imo.

[MasterOfPuppets]

btw,
I don't think primates could develop morals in the short time we have been observing them, but then again im not an expert

To clarify, I should have said they have found *traces* of morality. If a chimp is drowning, they will try to pull it out of the water, etc.

Lol, to counter saman's atheist drawing I drew something, I couldn't really think of anything too good though

The unfinished one I was going to draw a priest jacking off to nickelodeon lol.

[NinjaGator]

Well, Einstine did come from germany. It doesn't seem that surprising if he had a friend that was for nazis.

[Saman]

thats not what i was trying to imply, i was just saying becuase you are really academically smart( IE, Neils Bore) that does not give weight to social comments you make
