He put his opinions in, and I posted about how retarded his views are if he doesn't view both sides. It annoys me when someone comes in with a hate list.

[quote=WoAHorde]Your views seem biased, and I'm sure you don't "hate" these things. You underestimate the power of the world "hate"

If you hate Atheists for wanting to take your imaginary friend "God" away, then you obviously don't understand this country. Atheists have the right, because the "god" attitude can be viewed as discrimination against Atheists.

That's funny, you say they can have a opinion, But I cannot have an opinion of thier opinions? who's bias now. That's cool they want to lead a happy life, I got nothing against that, I just hate it when Vegeterians try to talk you out of eating meat, and I should have stated that clearly ealier sorry for the mishap.

You honestly think billions of year's on this planet and us humans are hurting the planet? We are not helping it, but mother nature will shake us off like flea's if she wanted to. and If you really want to pay all your money for ' global warming ' go for it.

Illegal aliens simply come here because we have a better lifestyle. I'm sure you'd want to be here if you were living in some slum with barley enough food and water to survive. In California, they take the farming jobs that we citizens don't want to do, thus they are helping the economy.
[/quote]

Hhhmm They are not just taking the farm lands wtf year are you living in? they are living here for free. Witch means they get free hospital care. While my family has to pay for our own. They work cheap, because they do not got to get their tax's, nor thier insurance and etc etc.

And while I just filled out a Selective Service, I begin to think, I get to go to war but the people who get to come here for nothing do not?

Then we might just aswell Legalize everything.

I love Michael Savage
I love our Music Culture
I love Our Scenary.
I love our right to vote and entitled to our opinions
I love our history.
I love that our leader's left other people to make thier own country.
I love that we help other countries even though they hate us.

I'll think of more later I got a headache now hahaa! :(

You love America, but hate the people? America IS the people!

TEH HATES:

Yes, Atheists cause all problems. Never mind the Buddhists, Muslim, Jewish, etc., people who would rather not have the schools force Christianity into their childrens' throats. There can only be one religion in America damnit! Oh, wait... we have the right to practice whatever religion we please.

Democrats didn't let us fight the war? We are already over there shooting and blowing up brown people. Saddam is toast. It sounds like the Democrats didn't stop anything. Do you mean you hate their opposition to the war? The fact that we attacked the wrong country for the wrong reason and the Democrats pointed that out is disturbing to you?

You hate Liberals? The people who founded this country believed that the individual should have rights. That is at the heart of Liberalism.

Some people that say that are indeed ignorant. But then, some people who say they love it are also ignorant.

It's nice to see that you can actually separate the individuals from the belief systems. But aren't most vegetarians liberals? :omfg:

Don't you find your willingness to hate an ENTIRE COUNTRY because of a couple of outspoken individuals from that nation to be a tad... I dunno... extreme?

Personally, I don't think we're in any extreme danger just yet, but I do believe that human industry DOES have a negative effect on the global climate. Keep in mind, most conservative policies are constructed in a way that allows for big businesses to do whatever they want to keep their profits up. So they would naturally oppose anything that would threaten the business's abilities to maximize profits. (such as spending money to reduce emissions) I know I am generalizing a bit here, but I'm asking you to consider the source of the people who have taught you what you believe. I don't think for one instant that all of the ideas you've stated were conclusions you arrived at all by yourself. (Except for the weird police one)

I'm not even sure what you're trying to say about Hilary. My official response: LOL WUT

Nevermind the fact that this country was founded by people who raided and stole land from the people who were already here.

They do have an impact on the economy, although I don't believe it's all negative.

I like the idea of the UN. All of the nations agreeing to not let any one of them get mad with power is a good idea, if you ask me. Too bad they didn't stop the U.S. from doing whatever the hell it wanted.

They enforce the laws of this country that you hold so dear. This sounds hypocritical to moi. Or are you mad at them because they stopped you from doing whatever you wanted?

TEH LOVES:

Michael Savage, the LIBERAL CANADIAN politician? Or the radio guy? I don't know enough about him personally, but based on the opening paragraphs of his (radio guy's) wikipedia article, I can see why you like him.

Nearly all of the money making music is carefully constructed in such a way to make it sell fast. Thus, most of it is not true art. Do you love the art or admire the business model?

Aye, we do indeed have some nice terrain here in the ol' USA.

So you love the fact that someone who you disagree with on 100% of all issues has the right to speak their mind and not face any legal consequences for doing so? That's awfully big of you. :) Although... your hate column suggests that you don't actually feel that way. (except for the freedoms it guarantees for YOU)

I'm especially fond of FDR's New Deal and JFK. Aren't you?

Are you talking about the USA? Cuz Bush sure as hell ain't letting us do what we want. Or do you mean Iraq? If you call assraping the former political structure and installing a wannabe Democracy in its place a great thing, then you can think that.

I love it when people force their views on me and then insist that they're just "helping". It really warms my heart.

That list is not beliefs it's simply me, and who I am, wether you believe in it or not Personally does not inflict on me what so ever.

I live life day by day, I work for my life to live.

I love Michael Savage the Radio personality, because he makes more sence then a Liberal can to me. and even my Teacher Said, Liberalism has changed over these years.

And how we raided this land. We needed to get away from the Queen, Better then USA then AFrica where we would be infected by Aids.

I do not hate this country what so ever. I did say I hate the people. I should have not said that, I was out of line there. Infact that line was suppose to be totatly separted and not joined with my Hate list and like list.

Now let's get to some quote's see if I can straigten things up a bit hehe.

Democrat's didnt stop anything nor did they try to do anything. They kept talking about a plan to get us out and yet they didnt even admit to that.

Democrat's did hold us back in fighting. our Troops can't even do anything without being questioned It's like we are in WAR people. let our troops do thier job, this is what they are trained to do.

He just needs to split his post in half. SteamBoy, I want to hear more about your views on atheism, and why you think
'everything' benefits from your god in it. Which social ills do atheists cause, and how do you explain the lower crime rates in more the more secular European countries? Also, which god do you believe in and why? Did you read it in a book? Did someone tell you? Was the source credible, and not just spreading an infectious meme?

If you think religion is the reason people do good things, you are sadly mistaken. Religion is a bad reason do do good things (the reasons religion offers are limited to reward and punishment), when in fact there are far better natural(as opposed to supernatural) reasons for doing good deeds.

Also, let it be known that meat is murder. Tasty yummy succulent tender juicy murder.
I do not respect your beliefs, and I implore you not to respect mine. To ask respect of beliefs held without evidence, is to burn the books of progress and hope.

Allow me to clarify:

An atheist is somebody that lacks a belief in god. They are not required to hold a belief that god does not exist, nor do they follow any dogma. Most atheists are also agnostic. I am A strong atheist, to the degree my strong agnosticism will allow. I have never heard a theistic claim that even sounded credible. I my default position regarding claims(supernatural or not) is skepticism, but I am perfectly aware that I may have been(and probably have been) mistaken, deceived or benighted in the process that led to my current conclusions. If the time comes when my atheism becomes untenable, I will not cling to it, because i do not have faith in it, rather I will hold the universal model that most closely describes the phenomena I call reality. I have seen nothing, and doubt I will ever see anything that cannot be explained naturally.

Our founding fathers were mostly Deists, something like Spinoza or Einstein in their views, and theist or not, they were DEFINITELY secularist. Even the Baptists!

Quotethey were DEFINITELY secularist.

Yea, secularlist in the sense that they wanted government out of religious affairs, not the other way around (keeping religion out of government is something we perceive indirectly from their original intent, which I'm not saying is wrong). Those guys were chased out of their home countries because they were protestant and/or noncatholic and the English government forbade anyone from practicing any religion other than catholicism.


Yea atheists aren't bad people. I can understand the frustration they feel when people always try to force them to convert to w/e religion and why they might hold such grudges against religion. But when they start forming hate groups on campus, writing slanders and/or negative things about religion and hanging these posters everywhere, tearing up religious documents in public, making websites that contain nothing but hate/disdain/anger/belittlement towards religion, going around telling people to "open their eyes", sabotaging and/or putting graffiti on church grounds, going into churches and yelling "FFFFUUUUCCCKKK!", or deride the image of religion with whatever means possible using their bitter hatred towards religion as justification, that's where I call it going a little too far.

What knowledge or awareness do we lack?

You DO understand the true meaning of ignorant, don't you?

By your retort.... I don't think so.

But to answer your question (even though I already did for most people), most atheists I've come across have most, or some of these traits:

Atheists try to force their beliefs onto everyone by claiming that anyone who isn't an atheist, is wrong (which is also a logical fallacy) no matter what just because of different views. That's being close-minded

Ignoring plausibility and possibility. Also, close-mindedness

Occams Razor (or however its spelt), which is fallaible. If you use the logic that Cheeze, DrunkenWrestler, and other 'skeptics' (more like mindless-sheep) use.


The point I'm trying to get across (and now I understand why you're so close-minded all the time) is that most atheists are close-minded in general. If things aren't the way they want them to be, or they're not explainable to their petite minds, they claim its wrong and falliable.


Occams Razor is one of the most falliable ideas created by skeptics. It goes against their own logic and thoughts.



Or at least against DrunkenWrestler and his followers :P

There was absolutely nothing that should lead you to believe he doesn't know what ignorant means, you're just indirectly attacking his intelligence now, as if it is in the least bit valid.

Taking examples of a few atheists you know and automatically generalizing those traits on all atheists in general is more faillable than anything else you are attempting to call fallible. They ignore plausibility and possibility? You provide nothing to support that evidence, and cannot.

QuoteThe point I'm trying to get across (and now I understand why you're so close-minded all the time) is that most atheists are close-minded in general.


How are atheists close-minded? Is it because they tend not to believe in things that yield no evidence? It seems to me that most atheists I know are for more open to the possibility of other beliefs than of those who are religious. I also think it's fairly obvious that people of religion are far greater known for forcing their beliefs on others, but apparently (and I don't know how), you don't see that.

QuoteIf things aren't the way they want them to be, or they're not explainable to their petite minds, they claim its wrong and falliable.


Petite minds? This entire statement is just a big fallacy.

The definition of ignorant is most simply and commonly, "not knowing", with no connotation of will to learn. If you use a different one, please provide it.
I never said everyone else is wrong, Just that I am not convinced any of them are right(even a little bit!).
Quote from KellimusIgnoring plausibility and possibility.

Quote from AntiSleepI am perfectly aware that I may have been(and probably have been) mistaken, deceived or benighted in the process that led to my current conclusions.

Conscious existence has the following structures(according to my universal model):

Goals and directives (not rational. Based on instinct, In my case modified, supplemented, and in some cases repressed by introspection with respect to my universal model)

Universal model (expectations of the way the world works, along with predictions of the consequences of various action. Initially instinctual, but now mine is almost entirely rational/scientific.)

Consciousness (use of the universal model to achieve the goals and directives.)

The way religion works is by preventing introspection, and supplanting your will with that of the religion. The only way that would happen now that my instinctual UM model is replaced, is if the religious model predicted reality better than my own(see the science flowchart for reference).
