Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

I would say Yes
All religions proselytize. I suppose Atheism's adherents do to get others to share their wretched, meaningless lives.
Pray for them. It will do you good. It may do them some good. Any way, it will irritate them.I know, that's not a very Christian attitude. I'm working on that.
The problem with atheism is that you almost have to believe in evolution to be an atheist, and everybody pretty much knows by now that evolution is a bunch of bullshit.
I’ll never understand the insistence of athiests having to make an issue of others being Christian. If they don’t feel/think/reason that God/Christ are actual entities then why can’t they just think that and not raise an issue.
I think it’s because deep down, in their psyche they have this creeping doubt that they can’t quite understand and it scares them in a way they cannot describe....
And if they do not believe in God, then why do they hate him? They are in rebellion, like a child that "talks back" to a parent.
Attention whore alert. Do these freaks know how pitifully small and rude this behavior is? Will they do the same on Romadon? Why do I doubt the snakes will do that?
They want to take the place of Christ in our society and they are not going to. The cowards know Allah is a fake and his followers would chop their attention whore heads off if they acted this aggressively billigerent to Islam.
Will the atheists be out there with picket signs when the Ground Zero mosque opens?(Or would they picket a military funeral—what would the signs say, “Nothing Loves Dead
Soldiers”?...”Thank Nothing For 9/11”?)
Placemark for pingout tomorrow.
Was thinking about you lately - wondered if you were still posting on FR!
I ran into the herb coleus in one of my books. It does a lot of things!
They don’t seem to put so much effort against Islam.
I think they lack confidence in their convictions.
A valid distinction. A newborn child with no concept of a deity is the only true atheist.
They were too busy at the ‘Atheists for Palestine rally’ throwing bottles at the Jews.
It's simpler than that. People drawn to organized, militant atheism are jerks; assholes if you will. They get satisfaction from figurative thumbs in the eyes of those around them.
I worked with one once that just loved the look on people's faces when they noticed the comic strip on his cube wall that had Boy Scouts wearing Klan hoods. He was the only one ever talking about religion in the office, which seems peculiar for somebody apparently without a faith. Being known as the guy that doesn't give a damn about your sensibilities is important to him, and gives him some twisted sense of self-importance.
If God doesn’t exist, why be bothered if people believe in Him? That shouldn’t matter more than what you’ll have for dinner tonight. Yet atheists are bothered by the beliefs of people they dismiss as ridiculous. That is in itself a statement about them, not about the people they try so hard to get to join them.
President Bush said it well in his book “It is not possible to prove God exists, but that cannot be the standard for belief. After all, it is equally impossible to prove He doesn’t exist. In the end, whether you believe or don’t believe, your position is based on faith.”
The irony of Atheist is that they must have faith that God doesn’t exist because they have to use the word “believe” in order to say I don’t believe.
As for their willingness to offend everyone by shoving their views forcefully down someone’s throat, all the while crying that it is being done to them.....hypocrites will enjoy their time with me in Hell. At least I know I will. ::evil laugh::
Psalm 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God...
Proverbs 14:16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.
Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
God bless and Merry Christmas
It would be reasonable to assume that among atheists there would be two types, those who prefer not to believe in God and those who hate him. In other words, some atheists do believe that there is a God but they just hate his guts.
Tell me about it. The militantly godless have no problem likening Christian practice to Islamic jihad, but won’t ever actually criticize Islamic jihad itself.
And her son rightly perceived that this was just nuts. Why put so much energy into destroying a purported nonentity?
