I mean, come on, they're so spectacular and detailed, maybe he just gave up on mankind in disgust and takes pleasure only in crafting his space gas sculptures.

He's president of the college, but he's armed and on the loose! What do we do to stop him! He seems impervious to bullets and armor-piercing rounds!

How come a computer can resume after sleep/hybernation in, like, a second, but it still takes a minute to boot? What's the excuse for long boot times?

Like, if I think she's into me, blam, instantly hot. Is that possible?

They had refreshments?

Wasn't he vindicated? What makes current claims against evolution different from claims against heliocentrism in the 1600s?

I got a bunch of responses to another question from Atheists saying that they did not feel alienated at all. Is that the case, is it really that easy being out as an Atheist? Nobody looks at you funny or anything?

There are many, many variations, one of which I saw in my newspaper's classified ads today. The idea is that you must publish it for it to work (some want it before or after it has worked). This reminds me of copypasta you see on online videos, except with a religious twist. I can't find any good info on it-all of it is ether "this works every time!" or "this is heresy," but no deep look at the phenomenon, like how old it is, how it started, etc. A guy in his 50s says that they've been around since he could remember, and he worked in newspapers. Anyone know about this?

The difference between modern religions and ancient ones seems to be that there is a move away from believing that a given person is absolutely right without question, and that Gods where hanging out on Earth, where they obviously aren't. Idols and kings are moved out of the way for more abstract things, things that you don't have to obey because you can reinterpret. Modern religions aren't as good at controlling people as, say, religions where the king is your god (Rome, North Korea, etc), and maybe that's the big move, the shift away from Magical thinking to reason. It's just that the Atheists don't want to preserve the feeling because it does not fit with the logic, and Christians don't want to reject years of history for something new that they don't really have any reason to care about. So I guess the question is, do you think that Atheists and Christians are really both rebelling against the same idea: tyrants who claim divine right? The "you can't tell me what to do because God is king, not you" that Christians have invoked, or the "You can't tell me that because it's it's wrong for mankind" that humanists prefer. Or are they too different to reconcile on this point, considering that both Atheists and Christians have been tyrants themselves?

Imagine you can see hundreds of years in the future, and you see people quoting your verses and killing people. What would you say?

As an evolutionist, you must agree that your main goal is to survive and reproduce. But in human society, conformity is what helps you survive and reproduce. Is it worth it to you to be "out" as an atheist, if it means you're less likley to survive & reproduce as a result?

Will you teach them about Santa? Will you teach them about God? I'm sure you've felt alienated at least a little bit, do you really want them to feel the same? Would you fake it so that they don't have to go through what you did? If you don't teach them religion, are you afraid that later in life they'll be seduced by some church?

If you had a choice of never having faith in god again, or never being in love again, what would you choose?

And if so, do they see the explicit message about blaming victims?

Just curious, because they seem to not just deny God/Gods, but also the whole idea of supernatural shenanigans.

Based on the contents of a book they haven't really read? Sure, there are plenty of sociopathic ramblings in the bible, but that's not the point-they have a very small subset of verses that they actually care about. Is it fair to take them to task about verses that they haven't even read? Who are we to say that the entire book counts?
