    nice clean punch to the temple should end the fight. religion is starting to make less and less sense as time goes on. and we humans can see that it was created by man to hurt and keep others out.

    I highly doubt that and I laugh at the notion. All I see here are really stupid questions such as, "Why hasn't Jesus made me a superhero yet?" And you atheists are supposed to be so far above the rest of us in intelligence that you're glowing in the dark. "Why doesn't God (if there is one-- have to get that in there lest someone thinks I'm a believer-- Ahh, no! ) give me a new car if He's real?" And of course many atheists respond with, "drink," and "derp!" If you're the cream of the crop, it's gotten sour.

    "Derp!' The new atheist rebuttal.

    Keep science in the classroom. The religious generations will eventually die out and there will be born a new religion of a kind. Sigmund Freud said that people would always believe in religion or some sort of afterlife for as long as we have the fear of death.

    There is no KO - we can't actually hold something up and say: See?

    And nor can they ;)

    The real downside to being atheist is that they will never realise we were right all along :(

    By asking a religious person:

    "Did god make our souls with the level of bad or good in them, or did he leave it to 'random chance' how they would turn out'."

    If the answer is that god created us just like this, then everything we desire to do is his fault.

    If the answer is that 'god created us with 'blank' souls that would be moulded by the enviroment or other people, then everything we desire to do, good or bad, is the fault of the environment, or other people. Environment and other people ALSO made by god, I might add.

    And again, if the answer is that god created us with 'blank souls', and he knew the future, then basically he created souls knowing they'd turn out bad - and knowing that had he entered them on this planet at a DIFFERENT time, in a different enviroment, that soul could have turned out good - just like one of his good souls, in a different enviroment, could have turned out bad next time in different conditions.

    Religious people love to blame the sinner for 'choosing' to sin. However, no one that 'sins', ever asked themselves to be designed and created in a way that they would PREFER to sin, rather than disobeying god.

    When Adam 'sinned' by eating the fruit, this wasn't some contrived plan from millions of years to annoy god. He was simply going with what he desired MORE - to eat the fruit, rather than not eat it.

    It's all very well to say 'Adam disrespected god', but if he did that, then had to have INTENT to annoy god. And Adam didn't create his own intent. He didn't ask for a brain that would decide that going against god was the 'best option'.

    The only person that can be to blame, for a creature called Adam who DESIRED to do the wrong thing, can be GOD. Because, before Adam, there existed no humans with desires to do anything. Adam's overriding desire to do wrong didn't come out of thin air did it? And if it did - lets again blame god for making bad desires come out of thin air.

    We should not be fighting at all. We are atheists because we do not have any interest in religion. We need to move past them.

    The formula, that is most successful in boxing, is lead with a left and follow with a powerful right combination.

    I'm not trying to fight anyone. There's room for all of us in the world, that's what I'm trying to make the understand.

  • There's not a lot more we can do, it's just a case of waiting till they zig when they should have zagged.
