Glad I am not the only one noticing it. There are atheists that don't try to start stuff and there are the other kinds to. Just as there are obnoxious Christians. But there has always been a war against religion buy "non-beleavers" and the government.

No worries Christianity is alive and well as with other large organized religions.

This has been on going since early Communist infiltration into this country. It was largely underground for the first 50 years. Once Communist thought spread to Liberal Americans it started coming out in the late 50's and the 60's. The initial push of getting religion out came with the removal of prayer from schools, in my opinion. I also believe Roe v Wade has had an effect for Athiesim in America. It's a slow and steady pace of Marxist thought in this country.

The retards have just become more vocal.

Yes...if the bible is to be believed then we are seeing an upswing of Satan and his minions as time grows shorter with the help of the lib retard media.


And btw.....I am very hightly educated too but unlike some I have a mind of my own and I do not fallow what the LIb Retards are spewing out as educated drivel. I have decided on my own

1- There is a Supreme Being that created this world

2- I believe we are responsible for our actions.

3. We will have to answer to this Supreme Being for our actions good and bad

How polite of you.

And where have you educated yourself? Outside the realm of the popular anti-theists and liberal historians? If we're talking science and evolutionary books, those generally seek to only further my belief and notions of God than undermine it.

As with anything it's an exercise in willful ignorance to take any one side's claims as the truth without examining both sides and then coming to a conclusion based on that. If you have, ignore these first two paragraphs.

On 'hatin', it's like I mentioned in another thread today. Just because someone says that they're a Christian doesn't mean that they are. We are called to speak the message of God with love according to Jesus. Many do wrong in the name of Christ and of God, even Hitler tried to justify his atrocities in that manner. On the issues at hand, I , for one, have just as much problem with adultery, sex outside of marriage, divorce, greed, and hypocrisy as I do with homosexuality. To pick on one issue and avoid the others is to miss the issue that sin is sin. Only one is incapable of repentance, and it's not one listed above.

I do understand why some Christians would speak out against the seemingly 'gay agenda' that has came to prominence almost in parallel with the growing anti-Christian/anti-theist/"new atheist" movement. Those that study and understand the Bible realize that in the Old Testament, God would grow angry with Israel and Judah for turning to lives of sin and idolatry, and most likely they fear the same for our country. With the rise of these things and ideas, along with the sexual 'revolution', rampant greed and corruption, we can almost plot the country's fall into troubled times alongside things such as the above. This is the base of where Fred Phelp's cult base their arguments, they however, are so full of closed-minded hate that they refuse to see the message of love and repentance sent to us.

Finally, the verse that you were poking at, was actually speaking more to the issue at hand, and not very relevant to the direction that you took it. It speaks of people who once had faith falling away and betraying those that they once called brothers, it goes hand in hand with a passage later in the Bible that speaks of false teachings and the world leading many astray, even the once strong in faith. Taking things out of context can be a clever tool, but not necessarily the most honest one, and that goes for people on either side of the issue.

Actually, the 'rise of atheism,' itself a quasi-religious movement, is simply a fad. All the cool kids are doing it. Just like tatoos and running marathons. Unfortunately, the damages of anti-theism are much longer lasting.

The beliefs I have regarding what happens when you die, where people came from, morals, how I will raise my son and all that other jazz is as important to me as an atheist as it is to you. I assure you, it's not a fad........


On another note, some of the comments and misconceptions about atheist in this thread just show me what theism is all about.....I've been here long enough, unfortunately I already know what to expect from "Christians"

Is this a joke?

So Maxism=atheism? Ummm... no.

Yeah, also not a fad. In fact, if we're going to play the definition game, Christianity would fit right in as a fad as it was very popular at one time, but it's numbers are now dropping.

As modern humans have been on this earth for 50,000 years or so (anatomically much longer than that), that 2,000 years is only 4% of the total time humans have practiced some kind of religion, and the numbers are already starting to fall. So yes, I think the definition of a fad would apply to Christianity.

So far atheist have been called zealots and retards in this thread......If that doesn't paint a nice enough picture of the true feelings behind Christians than I don't know what does.
