Angry at “someone who doesn’t exist”?

Or angry at people who are viciously slandering them?

The atheists I’ve known have been low self esteemed haters.

And ironically, many of them do find religion once they face a life threatening crisis.

Because atheism=communism, religion=moral and boundaries. Communists, atheists, socialists, humanists, and democrats can't stand the
thought of letting something like a conscience, morality, consequences, or the threat of punishment from a higher power get in the way of their desires. To the nonbelievers, and their false religions and constructs, we are all either just worker ants, cattle, or slaves to be used as their whims and hedonistic desires take them. Or you could just wrap it all up in one neat package and create a religion called: islam.

You have to be really blind to look at creation and how well it all works and then come away with the conclusion that it was all an accident, that it wasn’t the result of God.
When it’s their time to go, they will be glad to find He is a very loving, merciful God.

So go easy and don’t provoke Him too much, apparently He has limits.

Atheists are basically people with a deep faith who have not found the direction their faith should be pointed.

But the Guardian thinks mowing “down non-believers” is quite understandable and a mere cultural difference when muzzies do it.

Just as underwriting political movements is REALLY bad when the Koch Bros. do it, but REALLY good when the caring, compassionate Soros does it.

I watched the movie. The arguments for God and against atheism are well-presented. I did have problems with the basic premise of the movie that a college professor would require a statement of belief in order to pass his course. I have taken courses from heathen profs and there was always a way to learn the material and phrase things so that it was obvious I had learned the arguments and understood the subject, but never did I have to state such was my own personal belief.

Of course, I don’t have exhaustive information on what happens at all campuses everywhere. I’m speaking from my own personal experience growing up in a college town, knowing professors and their families for many years and my own experiences in university.

It was a decent movie but nothing great.
