So, he thinks we’re overdeveloped amoebas spawned from lifeless matter. That about right?

No, we were spawned by magic shot down from space by an ancient skybeing.
Obviously.

You have matter with no life. Then life.
The Count on January 26, 2012 at 9:31 PM
Therefore, magical skybeing.

This post was an accident of nature developed over millions of years.
Obviously.

Somebody didn’t read their holy books. Everybody knows it involves dirt and a spare rib or two.
Mind you, they’ll be infuriated whether you call them apes or dirtbags. Even when their apehood is a scientific fact and their dirtbaggery is spelled out in their own religious books they claim to believe. They like to think they are super duper special.
Daikokuco on January 26, 2012 at 9:35 PM
OOOh, another thread for the atheists to proselytize on.
Can we just skip ahead thru the discussion to where they admit they want to jail or kill all believers?
Confess away, reprobates.
tom daschle concerned on January 26, 2012 at 9:35 PM
Or, in your case, just gloss over that tiny problem, and it’s all downhill from there.
I thought science was supposed to debunk assumptions and not exploit them for purposes of assuaging the psyche of the fragile human mind. Perhaps, just perhaps, the study we humans call science can only take us so far in this universe.
The Count on January 26, 2012 at 9:40 PM
Yeah, what’s the pursuit of scientific discovery ever done for humanity anyway?
Nothing can be learned. It’s impossible. Just fill in “magical skybeing” and move on.
Good Lt on January 26, 2012 at 9:44 PM
Awww. Not like Christians haven’t annoyed people for millenia with THEIR proselytizing. Oh yeah, thats right, all the significant “conversions” to Christianity came at the point of a sword. Just like Islam. No wonder you’d be upset at mere “proselytizing”, when YOU had to resort to violence to change minds.
Atheism and agnosticism: growing all the time. Just like old Gingrich warned you, by the time your grandkids are your age, the US will be a secular atheist country. Enjoy!
Daikokuco on January 26, 2012 at 9:45 PM
And this is how I know you are stupid.
Enjoy eternity!
tom daschle concerned on January 26, 2012 at 9:49 PM
Nice projection. Did I say it wasn’t a worthwhile pursuit? No, I didn’t.
Face it: your argument is as specious as Al Gore’s and relies on about as many assumptions. At least I’m willing to admit that we may not be the highest on the food chain in the universe and may not be able to fathom the unfathomable.

tom daschle concerned on January 26, 2012 at 10:02 PM
People thought many things were magic thousands of years ago. It turns out that they simply didn’t understand the science.
You sound like some idiot from thousands of years ago calling something that you don’t understand, magic.
blink on January 26, 2012 at 10:02 PM
What’s funny is you think you are smart for eagerly believing the same fairytales told to every 3 year old in the country. Some of us grow out of it. Gullible useful idiots like yourself? Well, maybe someday. If you can crack open one o’ them there blasphemous science books.
Daikokuco on January 26, 2012 at 10:02 PM
Historically, most persecution based on belief or lack there of has been the believers jailing, torturing and crucifying the non-religious.
You’re probably just reflecting on what you like to do to atheists and missing the good old days when you could.
lester on January 26, 2012 at 10:03 PM
He’s got it all figured out. Just don’t ask him too many questions. That’s unscientific, you see.
The Count on January 26, 2012 at 10:05 PM
Really? All of them?
blink on January 26, 2012 at 10:05 PM
Please, it’s always the atheists on here that are attempting to force their version of morality down my throat.
blink on January 26, 2012 at 10:06 PM
Do you KNOW how Europe became Christian? Do you know how Christianity spread OUT of Europe, into the Americas and across Asia?
Hint: the exact same way Islam spread out of Arabia. With weapons, death, and a “convert or die” attitude. Christians today pretending their faith was spread peacefully are as laughable as a Muslim would be pretending the same. Yeah SOME people converted voluntarily. A scant few. But the big gains – whole countries, whole CONTINENTS, those sure as hell didn’t happen by peaceful missionaries and convincing arguments.
Daikokuco on January 26, 2012 at 10:16 PM
Ah Creationism. Where The Flintstones is historical fiction. Yabba Dabba Doo, Real America!
KeninCT on January 26, 2012 at 10:18 PM
Well, Rome is part of Europe, and Europe because Christian during a period of time in which Christians were being fed to the lions.
It’s clear that your understanding of history is improperly skewed.
blink on January 26, 2012 at 10:19 PM
LOL! You might want to go see when the REST of Europe became Christian. And just HOW Rome itself became Christian, and enforced its new policy of being Christian. Your grasp of history is nonexistant.
Daikokuco on January 26, 2012 at 10:22 PM
Well, that is how Matthews’ parents always described his conception.
malclave on January 26, 2012 at 10:31 PM
Actually, atheism and agnosticism are like parasites. In of themselves, they are not sustainable (witness the coming collapse of secular Europe). They can only exist in a host culture that is largely religious.
pearson on January 26, 2012 at 10:36 PM
And yet they call the science today magic.
Isn’t that fun?
Good Lt on January 26, 2012 at 10:36 PM
The lord works in mysterious ways.
Good Lt on January 26, 2012 at 10:39 PM
You’re flailing. The church didn’t magically come into power. The church was made powerful by the people.
I’ve clearly established that I understand real history, and that you simply read too many websites.
blink on January 26, 2012 at 10:39 PM
And all that you are labeling as magic might someday be called science – after it is understood.
blink on January 26, 2012 at 10:40 PM
The most powerful argument against atheism:
Obama is an atheist.
pearson on January 26, 2012 at 10:41 PM
And tell us exactly what science they call magic today.
blink on January 26, 2012 at 10:41 PM
I don’t think that is correct. It is actually pretty stable as a percentage of the population.
I have never understood how non-believers think that science is not fascinating to people of faith. I think what NASA does is amazing.
BullShooterAsInElk on January 26, 2012 at 10:44 PM
You have no idea what you are talking about. For starters, the most religious countries in Europe are the ones “collapsing”: Italy, Greece, Ireland, Portugal. The LEAST religious ones are in fine shape: Norway, Denmark, France, Sweden.
China is overwhelmingly atheist. Its doing a hell of a lot better than the US in terms of growth and development, or any religious Christian or Muslim country, for that matter.
Daikokuco on January 26, 2012 at 10:47 PM
Islam?
OldEnglish on January 26, 2012 at 10:48 PM
I think the “20 years in a radical church!!!1″ rants coming from many of his right-wing critics disagree. He’s a Christian. Embrace your fellow believer, pearson.
Daikokuco on January 26, 2012 at 10:49 PM
Keep telling yourself that. The whole continent will eventually collapse because of its secularism. Watch. The transient secular state is just a pause is the transition from Christianity to Islam.
As for China, have you ever been there? Most people there are extremely superstitious. The brutal government that violates human rights is indeed atheistic. But not most of the people.
pearson on January 26, 2012 at 10:54 PM
LOL. Rome became Christian because Constantine said it would. Constantine decided this because he had a hallucination to paint crosses on his weapons of war, and then he would be victorious. In WAR. Christianity was a fringe minority religion fizzling in a handful of cities until Constantine got the snazzy idea to spread it through force.
You might as well claim that “Islam didn’t magically come to power, it was made powerful by the people”. Right. No swords, violence, or threats involved. You don’t know jack about history, and you’ve demonstrated that plenty. Your version of “history” is a sunday school fantasy.
Daikokuco on January 26, 2012 at 10:56 PM
Not likely.
Good Lt on January 26, 2012 at 10:59 PM
He did that for political reasons (that church helped in with local politics). You’ll notice he has stopped attending church. Sorry Angry Atheist, but even Dawkins agrees with me on this one.
pearson on January 26, 2012 at 11:02 PM
Demonstrated ignorance.
But I thought for sure that you would claim that Constantine wanted Christianity because the Christians were killing too many people for not converting or something.
blink on January 26, 2012 at 11:10 PM
So you will simply reject science because it will go against your religion?
blink on January 26, 2012 at 11:11 PM
I was wrong…LMFAO! this is how I know you are stupid.
Your ignorance of christianity is only superceded by your anger towards God, which will be your ultimate ruination unless you get it all sorted out someday.
tom daschle concerned on January 26, 2012 at 11:37 PM
Don’t be too hard on him. He’s been brainwashed by silly websites.
Constantine made a political move. He was worried about the stability of his empire because of Christianity’s growing influence.
