@roook_ph: Your post made absolutely no sense. @anonymous1337: Bring up a religious topic and expect religious warfare. You opened the door to it, so deal with the consequences of your actions. This is not the right place to discuss religion in ANY sense of the word. AT ALL. @Richard: Everything get...

Religion doesn't make people kill other people... it simply gives their murders "justification". Oh, and you guys are thinking of sociopaths, not psychopaths. A psychopath wouldn't really be able to move into a position of control or lead anyone. People like David Koresh and Marshall Applewhite were...

I can write in boldface too! :) @vdecampo: keep in mind that most atheists are former religious people. They simply found a better way to live their lives... one free of dogmatic fear, and one that embraces logic and reasoning as opposed to non-verifiable myths and legends. So yeah... you could say...

I don't have a religion. And I've studied all major religions of the world, plus many minor and obscure ones. Furthermore, I said "most", not all. Go back and read it again.

Wow, Satanists sound like a scary lot. Do they act on the rules Eponasoft quoted? Nah, they're not really scary people. Sometimes, individuals try to act all tough because they attach the label to themselves, but you'll find that everywhere... for example, how many times have we seen C++ programmer...

Satan is a christian concept. IMHO Satanism is a Christian sect. Just one that is further from the norm. It is certainly not atheistic, since Atheism does not know the concept of Satan. Satan isn't a Christian concept at all, and Satanism isn't a Christian sect. What you're thinking of are anti-Chr...

roook_ph, I don't think ritual orgies are very common in Satanism; they're just not "evil" like many religions would like everyone to believe. They do tend to be more common around Aleister Crowley philosophy followers though. Satanists are not afraid of sex, they are not afraid of their own bodies,...

As I recall, Satanism is an atheistic religion. When Lavey outwardly said he did not believe in a literal devil, only a concept that inverted traditional morals, it caused a schism in the Church of Satan, which resulted in the Temple of Set. Yeah, Lavey's particular brand is most certainly atheisti...

Well, this would be an instance of meaning-as-function, which there are several ways to ontologically attack. More to the point though, is that we attribute value to how we do it, not just the mere fact of it. For me the issue is even more complex, because my girlfriend lost the ability to conceive...

Atheism isn't a religion. A religion is a set of doctrines and traditions focused around a belief. Atheism is devoid of doctrines and traditions... it's simply the lack of a belief in a deity ("no theism"). And anyways, it is our natural state... all humans are born atheist. We have to be taught (or...

Sometimes, when aggressive people make incendiary comments for the purpose of provoking others, it's best to reflect their actions back at them so that they can feel what it's like to be on the other end of it. My comments were neither incendiary or intended to provoke others. The only reason they ...

There's nothing wrong with going commercial. People gotta eat.

I've gone into the mobile market too so... meh. :) Android ftw. :)

Threads like these should be locked and/or deleted upon creation. In fact, they should never be started to begin with. People should know better... such threads never end well. rolliebollocks: thanks for the assumptions, the accusations, and the flat-out lies. Oh, and thanks for providing me with ab...

That's incendiary masturbation. You can't disprove God, or you would have done so already. I can disprove God all day long but no one will listen so why even bother? I've been doing it for years. I'm tired of making the case to ignorant people who won't listen anyways. So I stopped doing it. Howeve...
