The Oregon Faith Report - Faith News from Oregon

This atheist still looks forward to the complete eradication of religious stupidity from this planet.

When Muslim idiots stop flying airplanes into building, and when Christian idiots stop trying to dumb down science education, I will ignore religious retards.

boxxx might enjoy perusing the book “What If the Bible Had Never Been Written?”

Sorry, that’s bobxxx, not boxxx. I still think he would enjoy taking a look at the book.

Bob, I only hope that religious stupidity doesn’t blow up the planet first. Intellectual honesty, reason and logic will prevail.. I have “faith” in that.

Sorry, Les. If the Bible had not been written, it would not mean the end of art, architecture, music, or society. Only the most basic laws are even represented in the Ten Commandments and they completely miss so many things (*cough* slavery *cough*). And the “Golden Rule” predates the Bible. Without the Bible there would have been something else. Probably something better. We are still suffering from the superstition and sexual repression the Bible inflicted upon Western society during the dark ages.

If you guys are so all-fired anti-faith, why do you even check in at this post?

Religion is not the problem. People who are driven by primitive forces are the problem. Some of them are religious, some aren’t.

I’m with bobxxxx (see above).

We’re in the slow crawl of history, evolution. Like it or not. Part of that history and evolution has always been about dealing with the fact that we’re trying to figure out (uh) “what all of this means” while others, in their various ways, try to explain it for us…occasionally killing us if we disagree.

It’s not that we are anti-faith, it’s that we are pro-reason.

But in response to this particular article, I wouldn’t say that Atheism is waning at all.

(By the way, New Atheism is something that Faith-Heads made up)

Compare the Quality & the Quantity. It’s harder to speak in complete sentences than it is to fake speaking in tongues.
I’ve read the holey-babble several times, I’m sure I could write at 10 pages an hour considering the fan-base considers doubt a sin. But when you publish a book that goes against the grains, and will be challenged at every turn, then it takes a bit longer in between books. Give it time, there will be more.

A “CASE” for God, don’t make me laugh. This ilk are absolutely worthless. Religion is based on faith, not evidence.

It makes me very said to think about all the resources that are wasted on religion in this world.

Erm, might the supposed decline in atheism have more to do with Americans electing a non-bigot as President? If I were a US atheist I’d have heaved a big sigh of relief last autumn. Just saying…

Oh, for pete’s sake, atheism is atheism. All the adjectives applied to it have been made up by the RRR and the accommodationists. The RRR is having terminal hissy fits, because they see the writing on the wall: the end of religious privilege for their ilk, and they do not like it one little bit. So they become ever more spiteful, hateful, and bigoted. That’s great, because the worse they get, the more people are getting sick and tired of them and their idiotic “my way or the highway” approach. It’s time to get over it. Believe any wierd thing you want (planet Kolob, virgin birth, riding a white horse around the world in a single night, turtles all the way down, walking zombies), just keep it to yourself and stop bothering the rest of us with your delusions. Remember your Jesus’ exhortation to pray in the closet. Well, get back into your closet and stay out of my schools and my government. Lee Picton mizlee AT aol DOT com
