Funny isn't it how a theist telling an atheist they deserve to burn in hell forever is kindly advice from a place of love. However an Atheist politely asking a theist for proof of their contention is disrespectful hate speech and blasphemy deserving of being burned at the stake. Religion hold a special place in society that no other person or institution is entitled to, BECAUSE it is unlike any other institution in that (almost) everyone has decided to accept that it is unprovable shit but they are all going to pretend it is not under penalty of law.

The third sighs and says "Mine is a model T ford, old but reliable, a bumpy ride and has to be started by hand."

All religions have a set of beliefs.

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 20, 2018:

If you are not just trolling I think this means you have no understanding of atheism whatsoever. I do not "believe" in the religious connotation of the word, anything. I understand there is no god or gods in the same way I understand there are no fairies, pixie, Rakshasa, demons or djinn. There is simply no evidence to indicate or verify their existence in anything other than works of imagination and fiction. Saying atheism is a religion is like saying celibacy is a sex position.

There are in every ideology a small sub section of the oppressed who really like being so, and will be proudly paraded about by the oppressors as proof that they are not anti- what ever. I recall my own grandmother complaining that if she had to go through bad treatment by men, why should women's libbers think they had a right not to, they should just knuckle down and put up with it. There were women who fought against the Suffrajets, Jews (and Jewish descendants ) who fought **for** Hitler, black African Slavers and homosexual (pardon the expression) "Queer bashers" Self loathing is a recognised condition and often an excuse for indolence and or cowardice.

Yes a few months ago just before (all wind and piss) Prez Monsoon died, he declared that Caffeine was not the problem with Tea and Coffee, but that it was inadvisable. HOWEVER Coke a cola was obviously still forbidden to Mormons but Pepsi cola was not. Why? Because for some odd reason in 1972 the widow of the CEO of Pepsi cola Joan Crawford, left all of her considerable shares and interests in Pepsi to the LDS (oops) Mor...(er no) Church of Cheese Cripes and Fatter dazed Saints and as far as anyone knows they still have them since the church will not open up its accounts.

Outside Time and Space?

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 15, 2018:

Given that existence is defined as being able to be perceived as occupying space and moving through time, a being outside of time and space could have no motion and therefore could not be perceived as possessing any of the traits of existence, and therefore cannot exist. I can only conclude therefore the contention "God exists outside time and space" to be a Self-refuting statement.

*"There is no absulute proof there is no god "* Well there is no absolute proof there are no unicorns, fairies, leviathan or odd sock demons, but that gives me no reason to for one moment consider they do exist, the same with god or gods, they are myths made up to explain thing that could not be understood and to amuse child like intellects. Most people will not give up their comfortable delusion because it is comfortable or because they see the only alternative as eternal hell fire and that scares the shit out of them. There is no dilemma other than that of your own making.

God Fearing

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 14, 2018:

God Fearing was the standard description for Christians for much of the church's history. The idea of the loving God, is a fairly new idea that only became popular after the introduction of mass literacy. God was to be feared, not loved or respected, he was a king like any other king who ruled by force of arms and threats. Early Christians saw no contradiction in a god who demanded love, obedience and fear under threat of damnation, because that was what was normal to them.

Can someone be both an atheist and spiritual?

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 13, 2018:

No such thing as objective morality, circumstance should dictate action not moral certitudes. There is no so called objective moral truth that in one circumstance or another would be considered an act of evil. My general rule is pragmatic, if an action preserves or creates a greater good in terms of life and well being, when inactions would cause the opposite then it is fair to judge it as subjectively moral.

In the heyday of the temperance movement one gentleman name Hiram Codd, invented a form of bottling that sealed the neck of the bottle with an air tight seal using a glass marble as a valve, but was easy to open with a push of the thumb. The Beer industry immediately offered Mr Codd a huge contract to make the Codd Neck Bottles for them so as to keep beer carbonated. Codd however refused them the licence and instead started a business selling stay fizzy carbonated fruit drinks and sold them as a beverage with a none intoxicating kick. In time Fizzy Pop became known as Codd's Wallop (Wallop being a cockney term for Beer) However among the drinking crowd and the breweries Codswallop became a derogatory term for none alcoholic beverages and then in time for any thing inferior or a Knockoff. Ironically today Codd Neck bottles are only used in brewing, the patent having been purchased from Hiram Codd's Family after his death.

The pope is a geriatric alleged virgin who has dedicated his life to promoting belief in an obnoxious fantasy genocidal bigot in order to exploit the weak willed and gullible. I don't think I am going to take his advice on how to live a good life too seriously.

Should women be spelt womxn?

Not something I would think about either, so long as the word used means the female of the human species, who cares. I know what a Woman is, I had no idea what a wammin, wimmin or womxn is until it was explained to me, which just seemed an unnecessary complication. But even that aside in old English all adult people were called a Man, a wife man or a husband man, in time wife man became woman and husbandman became an agricultural profession and so the male was reduced to simply man. Interestingly all children were called girls, as the word boy meant servant for either sex. Females were gay girls and males knave girls. The sexual associations in all these titles is a fairly recent occurrence.

Can you be a Wiccan and call yourself an Atheist?

So long as you profess no conviction in the existence of a god or gods, you are an atheist. My wife is a Druid but associates with many wiccans she is not an atheist since she holds a belief in nature as a deity some wiccans hold a belief in the divine feminine and the male principle sometimes personified as Cernunnos or Herne but that is not her personal system of belief.
