I like how you abuse irony all the time.

Well, if all the religions can have slogans and adverts, why can't atheists?

I'm not saying they can't. I'm just saying they shouldn't. It's highly asinine to portray yourself as a free thinker, then plaster up rather confrontational advertisements which assume you speak 'for atheism' as though it were an organized force. Atheists believe God doesn't exist, but they exist because of organized groupthink congregations around the world. To try and get all the 'perks' as you put it requires stooping to the same level as religion.

[Hostile]

I've always called the SERIOUS BUSINESS atheists the religion of Null, or Naught. They behave just like a religion. Including all the propaganda. They are as nonsensical as any religion. Trying to ban nativity scenes at the town halls and such.

IMO, anyone who can tell me about the afterlife is lying through their teeth. Because no one has come back from being dead and told us all about it. I'm not talking near death experience or psychics. The afterlife is a man made concept because we are too scared shitless to think after we're dead, that we're really actually dead. End of story kinda dead.

I actually believe in God. That is why I draw a line between man made crap and God. Unfortunately, 99.99% of everything you read about God is man made stuff. The other .01% is the something we have in our hearts that tells us God, in some form, exists. Simply not in the form we are force fed to believe.

Call it Intelligent Design, or whatever you like. I'd like to think God has better things to do than wondering if I'm jacking off or not. I don't believe in that whole "personal God" crap. There is no invisible man in the sky watching my every move and condemning me to hell for the first (bible proclaimed) sinful thought I have.

Enough with the nonsense...

[Ash]

Probably the most rational view of God that any theist has ever expressed. Please stop making my concept of the universe implode.

I disagree that .01%, though, because I don't have it.

[Mathijs]

Err yeah, there is no 0.01% in my heart that tells me God exists.

I'd rather believe that Agnostic people have all the perks/ are the real free men, since they are open to any religion being correct, so technically you win no matter the circumstances.

As for the after-life, I agree with Duke Qa, the afterlife will mostly likely be a large, blank space all your own with a sign infront of you saying "At Lunch, be back in 5 (Million years)." Well, I hope, atleast.

[Caspa]

I'll disagree with that 0.01% too. I never had a heart. Maybe that 0.01% is just human cowardice...

The real free men? Oh lord.

[GodSun666]

Mehh.. i always kinda want to know what would happen to me when i die....

I hope that i come to the places of my GOOD dreams where there are dozens of females and other things so my wildest fantasy's can come true...

but if i look at it realistically it seems that once the body is dead its dead.. And well.. there you are in no mens land there is utterly nothing there i guess..

But yeahh... you don't know for sure until you die... maybe there is some Hostes of a tv show who says : CONGRATULATIONS!! you survived a 100 years on earth and you won 100000000 euro's now have fun! and you get unplugged by some matrix like system and then you fly yourself home..


now that would be awesome right?

Well, in a way I'd say yes, since you accept any religion; or the alternative Atheist option, then you are free of worrying about religion since you normally don't see people arguing with others because one is Agnostic.

It's called Pussyism.

[Spectre]

In some cases, yes. In others, just a lack of complete interest.

[offtopic]Another reason to be glad he's banned now[/offtopic]

The agnostic aren't any more free than the rest of you. They're just the most open minded. They have enough common sense to realise that creationism is a great steaming pile of horse shit, but they're open minded enough to accept that there may be something supernatural in this reality.

Wrong. A complete lack of interest is called Apatheism. Look it up.

I stand corrected.
