Could you all join me in a round of the Atheist's Prayer?

I like it - it's even better if you sing it along to the version from "Godspell". I think that's where it's from - whatever it is, it ROCKS!

Believing in some thing is totally distinct from in need of it. Just on account that I think humans are ravenous in all places the sector does not make me completely satisfied approximately it. Just on account that I think that atheists are going to hell doesn't suggest I'm completely satisfied approximately it. If it's actual, what's crueler, believing in it or identifying to disregard it simply on account that it makes me suppose larger to not suppose anybody goes to hell? It does not do an atheist any favors to disregard some thing you suppose is the reality simply on account that it's disagreeable. Also, you're extraordinarily stereotyping devout humans. That's nearly as though a Christian requested "Why must I be best to an ethical-much less atheist that thinks it is ok to molest youngsters?" You're assuming that a very small (albeit loud) minority is the typical consensus. I have peers which can be atheists and I want best the satisfactory for them. I even desire that my ideals are flawed, and that they are going to have a few shot at heaven that I'm no longer mindful of. But as it's, I can best believe that God is aware of what he is doing. I've customarily determined myself puzzling over if it might be feasible to exchange my soul for theirs. Please do not expect. Just on account that anybody is devout doesn't suggest he hates atheists. That being mentioned, to reply the denotation of your query (versus your implications), the one purpose to be best to anybody who actively wishes you to endure for eternity is not to sink to his degree. "The hindrance with a watch for a watch is that all people finally ends up blind." Treating anybody like sh*t on account that they deal with you prefer sh*t will on no account increase humanity or aid whatever. But, I think that is simply my individual opinion.

I suspect all humans pray.

Some people insist on labelling this activity.

Some people assert "my way or the highway"

I say:

"we don't need no steenking badges!"

That facet of the human psyche callled "urge to pray" transcends the "craving to compartmentalize".

arrogance sometimes diminishes understanding.

there is nothing new under the sun?

I thought the Prayer was, "God, save me from your followers." ;-)

Hope you have a better day. Sounds like you ruffled some feathers.

Does your Momie know that you've been playing with the computer again ?

Wait a few more years so you don't sound so childish. Make a copy of your "prayer", and set it aside for a few years, then read it. You'll realize the difference between childishness and maturity.

Yay! This time it actually got posted! There must be an atheist-god!!

**reads the answers and wonders why everybody takes everything so damned serious**

Ray-men.

I have never reported you but I am curious who you are praying to. My earlier questions about atheism indicate that there is no belief to any type of higher power. This leads to a conclusion that your 'prayer' is only intended to insult and incite. You might want to be careful praying because many of us believe someone is listening.

lead us not into self righteousness

but deliver us from ignorance.

drop this rest and pray this part repeatedly until it sticks.

Me is half baked at present - working on fully baked - can't type with one hand . . what was the qwestion?

Edit: He he . . thats good - It rang a few bells.
