What’s even worse than the debate ... about the soulless doctrine of evolution, is ... the idea that the Earth revolves around the Sun.
...we should always bear in mind that the Earth does not move. If it moved, we would feel it moving ... Don’t take my word for it, or the evidence of your own senses, Copernicans. There’s also the Word of the Lord:
“He has fixed the earth firm, immovable.” (1 Chronicles 16:30)
“Thou hast fixed the earth immovable and firm …” (Psalm 93:1)
“Thou didst fix the earth on its foundation so that it never can be shaken.” (Psalm 104:5)
Surely you've heard the argument that bible verses can be interpreted in multiple ways... I don't know if your textual refrences are clear enough to be interpreted in only one way.

Somehow I get the idea that someone just bumped this thread to make the point that he hasn't read SICP.
Why isn't Earth-centrism still valid? All the rest is just a bunch of spacetime. The giant alien space monster that made it all can just twirl it about the Earth in a variety of motions, in accordance to its unknowable will.

What I don't understand is why atheists do not go to Mexico and spit on the catholics there and belittle them since protestantism is much more rational. Why do they discriminate against protestants?

So they spit on each other and then go out to not eat pork and snip the vital prepuces of unsuspecting little boys.
#17, another protip: Not everyone believes in a giant, bearded Jew sitting in the sky, showing huge concern for a swarthy people sitting in desert arroyos and not eating pork.
Whether you do or not is irrelevant, #20. "NOT EVERYONE." Learn to read. "Not everyone" is definably and largely NOT YOU. Learn the difference between yourself, and others. Come back once you have that down pat.
I honestly don´t give a flying fuck for religion anymore. Most atheists don´t really care, but apparently too many religious fucks are out to prove us wrong all the fucking time. If we don´t care, why should you? I think it makes people like that a bit hypocritical, especially when they claim THEY´RE the better ones, even worse when they feel sorry for themselves.
Well, Doc Woot, if the religitards are out to prove us wrong, they'd better work a lot fucking harder since actual PROOF is 100% lacking. By making the claim that a giant alien space monster is very, very interested in a swarthy, hill-living folk in the Middle East, they have made an OUTRAGEOUS and FARCICAL claim, hence the need for proof not only exists, but it is strong.
Why is the need of proof strong? Well, if someone told me that Gilgamesh was on my back porch, waiting to fuck me right in my asshole once I do something that conflicted with the Code of Hammurabi, I would demand proof of this divine rapist. To extend the metaphor to show what's happening today, I'd go to my back porch and would find ZIP, ZILCH, NADA, ZERO. Of course, the Sumerian priests who insisted Gilgamesh existed, would start making excuses as to why Gillie Boy wasn't on my property, sporting an enormous Persian erection. The truth is simply too evident: THERE IS NO GILGAMESH. What we have instead are a bunch of priests with rather unhealthy fetishes for buttsex. They like telling lies in order to avoid doing real work, to get free sex from young boys (Catholic Church, anyone?), and to control the rest of the gullible population in order to not be stopped cornholing lads in short pants.

Lol, I love how they always deem us wrong without coming up with veritable proof for their own beliefs. Take evolution for example. I get crap from sooo many damn christians about how evolution is a load of bullshit, i mean, how the hell do dinosaurs look like birds anyways. But not a single one of them ever bothers to show me some proof that we´re ALL inbred from the same 2 people, as well as every animal, and that fossil records are just funny dirt shapes >_> But whatever, they want their children assraped every sunday, that´s cool.

This has to be a sick joke meant to incite flames, or to at least make people look at the stupid site because of how reatared it is. This anyone who went to middle school and passed the half assed physics conceptual physics class would know that this guy is either a complete retard, or just someone pretending to be a You people should not get riled up over a simple prank like this, jokers like this do not even deserve to be taken seriously.

RAmericans are od'ed on religion. I saw some frummies today davening in front of the United Nations today as a Tisha b'Av prayer. (Translation: Orthodox Jews praying on a day commemorating the destruction of the Temples in Jerusalem, on which they fast. In other words, they're feeling sorry cuz someplace they've never been to was demolished in 586 BCE and again in 60-something or 70-something CE - at least 1900 years ago! Come on! How many structures of antiquity last that long? At least the platform is still standing and has a beautiful mosque on it.)

The only proof of the divine rapist occurs when you get raped by it.

What 30 doesn´t realize is, this happens all the time. Oh, Oh, and here´s the best part, every time it does happen, another christian will criticize that christian for being wrong! God loves everything and everyone! No, dumbass, the bible clearly sez he hates evil pagans!! If that were the case, then EVERYONE would be wrong. Hence why I hate christian religions.

Why specifically christianity since all major religions have people who act like fucktards.
Because Christians feel the need to impose it. I have a muslim friend who knows I´m atheist, and he´s cool with it. I know a couple Hindus, they dont give a fuck. But whenever a Christian finds out about it, 90% of the time they´ll throw a bitch fit over it. And ZOMG they have to prove me wrong, wrong WRONG!! they always start with, "you´re going to hell, you know that, right?" and of course this never scares me. After having failed at scaring me into submission (what the hell where they thinking, anyways?) they try REASONING. I´m just so tired of all that shit, so props to the christians who leave me the fuck alone about it, but I think that Christianity, being the only religion that has so much damn media on it, should stop programming people in that way

Your opinion is subjective, it has only affected you. An objective approach would deduce that it is not unusual and all major religions possess suc obsessions and in many cases take them to extremes of discrimination and violence. There is nothing wrong with criticising atheism except when discourse becomes stupified and stagnant.

By "it has only affected you" I meant "only that effect has been experienced by you".
Then by your logic me criticizing Christians should also not pose a problem, correct? And no, this doesn´t JUST happen to ME. I know several people who suffer the same, and as of late we have chosen to avoid said fanatics. And my reasons for being an atheist are quite valid, though I keep them to myself simply because I know people have a hard time grasping such things and can get rather offended.
