Yes, Atheism- the bet of a lifetime- Yup- I’ll throw away the ONLY chance EVER of spending time with God and wager my soul’s eternal existence on the slight chance that there might not be a God- BRILLIANT!

Are these Atheist people complete idiots? Hey Atheists- When you can explain to me what I’ve lost by acceptign a FREE gift from God that will have eternal consequences for my soul, and when you can detail exactly how denying God is a more sure bet in the face of the uncertain prospect of eternity, then Yall come on back- till then- Keep your moronic reasoning to yourself.

Pascal's Wager again? It implies that the only alternative to Atheism is Catholicism (since Judaism is not a salvational religion) and that belief is something one can just choose to do.

Dawkins actually is brilliant, but his arrogance is greater than his brilliance. He knows one cannot prove a negative, yet he sets out to convince his readers that the negative he needs --to be factual to support his massive arrogance-- has to be factual even though he cannot prove it is not. [See how convoluted the arrogance of atheism can be when put to the test of logic?]

Folks like Dawkins have chosen to invest their modicum of 'faith muscle' in areas which reinforce their own personal importance to their surrounding universe ... arrogance run amok, IMHO.

Wow! You really believe that’s how we think? Of course that reasoning is moronic, but who says that? All you’re telling me is that I should believe in a god because if he actually does exist then unbelievers all go to hell. I’m sorry but your logic there fails terribly, I might as well believe in Santa Claus cause I might not get anything for Christmas…and yes I do celebrate it, secularly.

Atheists are people who simply demand proof in order to believe in something. You have a hard time understanding us and vice versa because you have faith and we don’t, period. Yes we can get into the whole scientifically proving god’s existence but it really doesn’t matter because the fundamental basis of religion is believing without proof, i.e. faith.

People like Dawkins and I are really unable to understand why people believe in things without proof, or even a little evidence. And I’ve hung around conservatives enough to understand that you can’t see how a person can live without faith. And because we can’t understand each other, we sometimes make assumptions about the other side that are completely false and all we end up with are posts like the one you just put up.

This also extends to Dawkins, he’s a socialist and because most religious Christians are conservatives, he attacks Christianity as the source of his problems. Of course he’s partially right, many of you get most of your beliefs from your religion but there are plenty of atheists out there (myself included) whose morality and beliefs push us much closer to dealing with conservatives rather then liberals. So attacking Christianity just to get at conservatives is ineffective at best and detrimental to his cause at worst.

So, lesson learned right? Not all atheists are damn dirty commies although a lot are. Don’t make generalized statements when you know better.
