I just know you're dying to explain this, so off you go, you've had all night to work something out. I'm sure ALL the atheists in the world are dying to know their common ills.Originally Posted by j2k4

Canada has a shock machine?
things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
so, he does
the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
the germans are like "wtf, h4x"

I like the quote.I just know you're dying to explain this, so off you go, you've had all night to work something out. I'm sure ALL the atheists in the world are dying to know their common ills.
Religion: A cloak used by some persons in this world who will be warm enough without one in the next.It is, however, wasted with the implication that there is an after life.
If we just regard the death sentence as a punishment rather than a deterrant, it might possiblychange some of our views on the subject.
OH NO IT WON'T.

I will admit though that some Atheists take it more seriously than others and are big headed enough to think they can make suggestions for other atheists to follow.This has nothing to do with the author being an atheist and everything to do with him being egotistical.
That or I am not an atheist but instead just someone that doesn't believe in god
sourceTHE TEN COMMANDMENTS (OF THE ETHICAL ATHEIST)
NOTE: Free thought and tolerance obviously prohibit these from being "commandments"! Just consider them "suggestions".
1. Thou SHALT NOT believe all thou art told.
2. Thou SHALT seek knowledge and truth constantly.
3. Thou SHALT educate thy fellow man in the Laws of Science.
4. Thou SHALT NOT forget the atrocities committed in the name of god.
5. Thou SHALT leave valuable contributions for future generations.
6. Thou SHALT live in peace with thy fellow man.
7. Thou SHALT live this one life thou hast to its fullest.
8. Thou SHALT follow a Personal Code of Ethics.
9. Thou SHALT maintain a strict separation between Church and State.
10. Thou SHALT support those who follow these commandments.
Just because it was done in the name of God doesn't not mean He approved of it.

I very much disagree with the death sentence. I've always felt strongly on the issue, but watching "The Life of David Gilmour" a few years back, it definitely became much stronger. It's cruel and unusual punishment, and it's always an ultimate decision. There's always a chance that the wrong man is found guilty and, upon finding evidence to show his innocence, it is already much too late.

I'd rather we kept Christianity and all religious points of view out of this discussion,seeing as how religion has caused more deaths,wars and suffering than anything else we have invented.
