Why are athiests so hated in the USA?

[mavs>spurs]

Okay... caught on. I understand that you're just trollin trollin trollin

no trollin at all tbh. you assuming that religious people are somehow all mentally inferior to you because you're a hip progressive r in a thread about ATHIESTS BEING PERSECUTED LOL is trollin imho.

[mingus]

BINGO! And their entire reasoning behind what they did was due to them being atheists... how many history books have you read btw? I would assume none, and you heard this little story off the O'reilly factor. Amirite?

I was waiting for this, and you can't seem to learn from all the other god v science threads, it seems.

For a guy that considers himself smart, you sure do not know how to read. Can you point out where I said that what they did was due to them being athiest? It's just a correlation.

You and graph boi Dok do not know the difference b/w correlation and causation, which is ironic that both of you try to be spokepersons for the notion that athiest > theists in so far as intelligence.

[mavs>spurs]

proxy isn't smart at all, him automatically assuming he's smarter than people on the internet whom he's never met before just because they're religious is more than proof of that.

[The Reckoning]

why do people in the military want so much attention?

Then why the did you post it? If Stalin and Hitler being Atheists has no connection to why they were bad people, then what point are you trying to make when proving your Christian values are better then an Atheist's values? It's just some statement that has no purpose to the argument.

The only people I know I'm smarter than are you and the other two arguing against Atheism.

I've already been told I'm going to . You argue against sexuality and abortion when you don't understand either on a scientific or psychological level. Mingus over there thinks that atheism=genocide.... so yeah... I've not condescended to anyone else thus far but a select three.

if he was answering ops question.
Why are athiests so hated in the USA?
He could be stating OP my hypothesis to your question is people associate atheism w/ Hitler and Stalin

You're an idiot. I was answering the question posed in the thread le. How was my post not directed at the question? Idiot.

I know you're not an atheist. No matter how badly you want to be. You are too dumb to be an atheist.

[The Reckoning]

why are atheists who can't spell their own affiliation in thread les so hated in the USA?

Then that's my bad, aye. You got me. I dun goofed on you.

and me. that's (at least) twice you've been a for absolutely no reason in this thread.

[mingus]

So does Ron Paul, an OBGYN, not agree with abortion because he doesn't understand the science of it?

First, he is a creationist. Second, his opinion on it is purely government based in the sense that it should be decided by state... both of which I disagree with.

[greyforest]

Being right doesn't make one any less a bigot, and honest bigots don't need to pretend science backs up their sweeping generalizations.

Prejudice is one thing. Percentages and trends are another.

So, then you can still know a load about science and not agree with abortion.

Well I apologize. I get too pissed off on the subject. My bad. I need to control my temper, but make no mistake... I still stand by to message behind my posts, but not the execution.... maybe that's the answer to the OPs message.

The execution of the message gets lost in anger.

Well, I'll say this. I believe aborting a human is murder.

I believe a fetus becomes a human when it's brain develops for it to understand that it's alive (self-awareness/perception).

A tree does not know that it lives. If you cut into it, it's reacts to pain on a pure reaction level...(cells regrowing... bark and whatnot)... fetus is the same thing. Brain development to self awareness isn't pinpointed, but is at a latter trimester of pregnancy.

I'm against late abortion... everyone is. I'm against the concept that life starts at conception. I don't believe in a soul because I understand that the brain is the computer behind everything we perceive. Until the brain can function on a human level, or even a base reptilian level, it does not understand it's existence. A human body is a tool to the brain. Everything that makes us individual is in the brain. Heart... dogma based soul... have no real basis.

So if we can avoid bringing in a life that has no good base upon which to learn and grow, then it should be aborted before it is alive. Once it is alive, it is murder.

There are probably a million trends going on at once between the people who score low on IQ tests, aside from religion.

You atheists are trying to come to basically scientific conclusions about a certain group of people without actually conducting a scientific experiment, or any semblance of a scientific experiment.

[mingus]

Well, I'll say this. I believe...

I do not care what you believe. I did not ask the question to gain insight into what you believe.

It is a minuscule percentage of people that have conducted these scientific/sociological experiments. How can you say that we lose credibility by reciting results from experiments backed by data when Christianity is a world dominating religion based on the old writings of even fewer? The word of one man named Jesus fuels the entire establishment.

You have a double standard that you have to follow.

Well you just deleted the facts stated in your quote of my post... is that how you want to play the game? Editing the original source? Very FoxNews of you.

[Proxy]

You can know a load about science and not agree with abortion. Is it the right science? Has the science been comprehended correctly?

Apparently not if he's a Creationist. Does that answer your question?

[ElNono]

Nah. I don't follow any religion. I personally take my ethics from my own personal experiences, with pain, brutality, hunger, etc. I am wondering if atheists are the same.

Not much difference here. The only difference with a deist is the lack of all-powerful creator.

[ElNono]

tbh, most atheists I know don't have a problem with religion until religion is literally pushed into their lives...

I'm not a Christian.

Faith/Religion isn't testable by science. You're claims are testable by science. There's no double standard.
