lol I remember when mono first saw us using "limetext". He was ting bricks.
I don't feel the need to come on here and scoff. I was reading the thread, I saw the reference, I responded.
Atheists aren't indifferent. The world we live in still matters to us. It's important that mankind eventually ween itself from the supernatural god of the gaps notion.
Were I to have made such a suggestion 40 years ago, I would have been ran out of town. See, it's working. Infidels are everywhere.
Oddly enough atheism has very little to do with the Bible itself. It has more to do with the mindset that belief is compelled, not chosen. Atheists have not been compelled to believe in the existence of a god because we simply haven't seen compelling evidence. Most of us are open to new discoveries however, so when a god does decide to provide compelling evidence, we will be first in line to view it.
As far as "truth", the Bible is a collection of books put together by a selected group of people who looked for a theme in order to keep the Bible consistent, but they had problems too. If you believe a donkey can speak, or that a rabbit actually chews a cud even though it's not a ruminant, and that it's ok to slaughter women and children as long as the girls are kept for the soldiers to rape, then the Bible might be your ticket. Also, you have to think an old dude found a polar bear in the mideast and put it on a big boat, then the world was flooded with water that came from space and the Earth, which magically disappeared a few days later at which time said old dude took the polar bear back home (he dropped off a few penguins and seals along the way).
It's not about "truth" in the Bible, but about how you personally accept evidence, what's required for you to actually accept extraordinary claims as being true.
That would be agnosticism..
Limetext is a verb now?
Red Dwarf Classic Scene.
the idea that religion brings you closer to god is lol.
Can you prove it doesn't?
I keep a stack of bibles by the toilet
Damn, you're so cool.
I keep a stack of toilet paper by my toilet.
Not true. Atheists aren't saying we don't know if a god exists. We are saying we do not believe a god exists. Belief is not the default position.
It's pretty simple actually. Just as a believer can become atheist, an atheist can become a believer if the evidence were to present itself. The evidence, as we see it, cannot possibly exist either.
So, there is no god until proven otherwise.
do what?

I'm surprised this thread hasn't gone on and on like most religious threads do. Thank God.
Give it time.
For what, the child loving priest's, earthquakes , radioactive milk?
can you be pacific on what you thank God for?
I am all for you here at ST to pray and worship all the God's you like and to quote all the books that you want. But I find it hard to understand a God that helps you get a good job or makes sure little Johnny gets home safe from school is the same God that would allow Little Johnny to die from radiation milk or get butt ed in church.
I don't know, maybe it's just me........ maybe my standards are slightly higher than most in this forum.
