If this wasn't R&F I'd say "No one should be looking down upon another..."
...but I'll just leave this stuff here & hope others put it to good personal use =) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bznccrJeyw4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_dtRIf0rGY Faith in religion is also is a personal thing. Either you have it or you don't. Tolerance for other peoples choices in life (<=religion too) is similar to compassion for individuals. Whether they choose to indulge in promiscuous sex with many anonymous partners (<= in a consequence free environment Austin?) while snorting crank off the hood of a cop car ...or... the ones that are donating their time to work soup kitchens/food banks to help feed homeless, clothe the poor, love all of their neighbors and all the other good teachings from many of these good books. | ||

SPOILERS for any side of this argument.
I'll give it more thought if anyone ever holds onto their consciousness after their electrochemical response ceases. | ||

If your faith actually helps you fall asleep at night, I'm happy for you. Seriously. The world is really not that scary, but if some invisible being in the sky makes you feel better, that's great, keep it up. We all deserve to be happy and content with our short time on this planet. Second, there are 2 billion christians on the planet and 7 billion people in total. There far more non-christians on the planet than there are christians. You are not in the majority, this is a fact. I'm not interested in debating facts with you. I'm also not trying to "show that my knowledge is the superior knowledge." I'm trying to explain that my position is based on a lack of knowledge, which is exactly how the scientific method works. You know, the same scientific method that has resulted in all the advances and breakthroughs that make it possible for me to even type this message to you. If someone postulates that a thing exists or operates in a certain way, the burden of proof is on them to offer up evidence to support their position. It does not fall on the shoulders of everyone else to DISPROVE it, as you seem to think. I'm not even completely discounting the possibility that you could be right! I just choose to believe in the simplest possible explanation behind our existence here, and that doesn't include a magical dude in the sky with some crazy master plan. It does include simple, verifiable, widely agreed upon physical and chemical processes that weren't pulled from a 2000-year-old book. That said, maybe it WAS god (or whoever) who designed those processes specifically so that we would end up where we are now. Nobody can really say with 100% certainty, and anyone who claims to know "the absolute truth" is full of shit. My position is that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. If you can provide some, I'd be glad to be proven wrong. It would certainly make things a lot simpler.

Because most outspoken Atheists are just as ignorant, hateful and bigoted as the people they claim to despise.
