What the fvck is this? These Yahweh-bred rabbits enjoy projecting their own filth onto others. You fvcking Abrahamic bastards are the worst psychopaths imaginable.



Read my comment which you responded to and see if it does not accurately describe this rant of yours. What a shame.

This argument makes no sense. Atheists and religous people have helped mankind
Who can forget issac newton- his work on gravity though it was modified it is still correct when the speeds aren't up to the speed of light
Or Stephen hawking- cosmologist
This dude has the 10th highest IQ currently
He's an atheist.... Like his own is bad he's not even agnostic atall. he has ALS and he's still so relevant
Basically both atheists and religious people have helped mankind
The difference right now is that science has started answering the big questions not like 200-500 years ago. There would have been a lot of thiests then
Basically there are very few people why believe in God because it provides the best cosmology. Modern science has undermined religion
Please religious people the earth isn't 6000 years old. And we can see the cosmic microwave background radiation- the leftover thermal heat from the universe's early expansion and red shift of light. Proof of the big bang(it's not an explosion btw) We can see starlight older than 6000 years so we live in an old earth and an even older universe

I'm not the lunatic who believes that thrusting a dagger into my kid and making a sacrifice of him to show how faithful I am when God demands such is justified and GOOD. I'm not the animal who believes good deeds are worthless and can't get you to heaven, 'cause you're justified by faith.

The OP isnt talking about God but Atheism. Again the contents of your latest rant adds credence to my description.

If your grouse is the faith part then sorry for you. Faith does not rule out good works it actually helps fine tune the motive behind the good works so stop being confused. God is all about motive and not good works alone.

If you can sit for an exam in order to test or prove your intelligence prior to a promotion then why do you think a simple test that would enable spiritual promotion is not justifiable especially when we look at it based on the same motive I mentioned earlier.

Abraham was asked to sacrifice his only son and he accepted to do it. God stopped him just when he was about doing it because he has proven himself IN HIS HEART so back to motive.

You really need to stop being so bitter. Its bad PR for atheism.

Some are getting the question wrong, am not talking about atheist BUT RATHER ATHEISM.
An individual is responsible for his actions and what he used his Brain for, my question target atheism system not those who practices it.
what has the atheism system offers; psychologically, financially, health wise etc
This is very sad.
replace your statement with christian and chriatianity as appropriate, to see how nonsensical you sound

What a pathetic moro'n. So, "stating the obvious" makes me come across as "bitter", abi? So, you don't get it? Neither atheism nor religion has done anything possitive for humanity. It's an idioti'c thread to begin with. Both atheists and religious folks alike have contributed to the advancement of the human race. My point, however, is that while atheism does not, religion has NEGATIVE packages for humanity. That's the contention, Mr.

Can you imagine someone who has contempt for reason and has declared his absolute faith in a satanic deity? What kind of lunatic believes it's GOOD to obey God no matter how horrible his commandments but EVIL/SINFUL to disobey those same commands? What business do such denizens of madhouses have pontificating to others about morality? You revere Abraham and celebrate Joshua, but in your chronic hypocricy, condemn Jihadists who're equally carrying out their God's orders like Abraham and Joshua? The fact that you're an Abrahamist makes you only one commandment away from blowing up a market place. Once God gives the order, you carry it out without question. You're just as mindless and insane as the Jihadist who believes in slavish obedience to his torture God.

I think you need to take a few steps back and read your post....if you need a good example of bitterness you have got it there.

Pls till you learn to control your rants and choose your words then kindly do not mentions me. Some of us still have some honour left.

Of course, you have no answer to that. The best you can do is obsess over my tone. You want a polite message, right? Well, to hell with political correctness. Address the substantive point, will ya? Are you a lunatic for following Yahweh, or not? That's the point, not tagging me "bitter" like your life depends on it. Would you have done the same thing Abraham did? Will you be WILLING to slaughter your child if a voice in your head calling itself God commands it? If yes then you're a dangerous lunatic, pure and simple.

Pathetic, man. No one ever said atheism has done anything for humanity. I said in an earlier post that neither atheism nor religion has done anything (positive) for the human race, religion, however has a lot of negative packages for humanity, whereas, atheism does not. Therein lies the contention, ogbeni.

That having been said, what does the usefulness or not of an ideology has to do with its credibility? What's the point exactly? Because atheism has done nothing for humanity, then it's false, even though religion also has done literally nothing (positive) for the human race?

I don't quite understand what you're yapping about.

And, of course, I'm anti-religion (anti-Abrahamism)...... So? undecided

Sir Tim Berners Lee was never an atheist , he only rejected religion in his youth . Rejecting religion =! atheism . Like I earlier said , deists , pantheists , panentheists , pandeists , religious skeptics , agnostics all reject religion .

He is now a member of the UU - a theologically diverse religion comprising of all kinds of people with or without religious background helping people seek spiritual growth . The UU stands for Unitarian Universalism .

We still have religious people who rule the internet - CEOs of Google , Twitter , Apple , eBay , Reddit , Snapchat , Yahoo mail etc . Plus Mark and Alan were formerly religious people

And a quick reminder , atheists have done so little to the world when compared to what religious people have done .

Offerings of atheism

When clients who are either Christians, Muslims, herbalist, witch doctors and theists generally, sit across my table, and i begin to expose to them, how their foolishness and self inflicted delusion, that originate from their religious beliefs, has messed up their health, they can't but admit their utter stupidity.

Religious beliefs delude folks to believe that stroke is caused by Spirit, hypertension can be cured by anointing oil, diabetes can be cured by concoctions, diabetic sore is arrow of the imaginary enemies etc

When i help these folks to realize their stupidity, right in my office, they thank me and show gratitude, for redirecting them out of their hasty path of painful death, to path of rational health management.

That's the good that Humanism does for humanity. Good without God.

The campaign for secularity of states, globally, is liberating people from the oppression, victimization and inequalities, brought about by religious folks.

'Atheists achieve "deeper" levels of critical thinking and free thought'.

This statement doesn't insult theists. The word "deeper" as a comparative didn't assert that theists do not think critically as you tend to assume.

Stop feeling insecure.

I am feeling insecure? for what? how dare you?!

op is asking about something that is peculiar to atheism. can't you read?

if you have nothing to say, why not say it offers nothing?

people you talked about is out of the case, because their success is not tied to atheism as theists still do even better than what you quoted.
