Atheisim is not a disease

Seriously why cannot Christains just learn to live and let live, and leave other people alone? It gets quite obnoxious sometimes, and I often cannot help but to find myself in a poistion of trying to defend this or that group against Christain lynch mob mantilatitly against anyone who is different. Mainly I do it simply to play Devils advoacate (no pun intended) and because it is fun to rile them up by arguing with them espcailly when they all gang up together.

Well considering my great intrest in quotes there is this forum I belong to which is dedicated to qutations and qutation discussion, and someone said they were looking for atheisim quotes, and of course this group of Christains had then come in and make a debate out of it, even though the poor guy just wanted some quotes and was not making a personal statement one way or the other, and though I am by no means an atheiest, I have very strong spiritual beleifs (just the wrong ones depending who you talk to) I get tried of others acting like athieisim is a disease and that if a person is an atheiest then clearly that means something is just wrong with them and they are bad horrible people and that something most have happend to turn them into atheiets to start with, becasue if they were normal sane people then they would obviously belive in God.

In fact one person said

I'd prefer to call atheism as a consequence of such human experience as utter indifference, leading to inability/refusal to make a difference in this chaotic world, whereas atheism as a result of spiritual journey must be so taken as it is.

So if a person is an athiest that means they clearly must be purely self-serving and have no intrest in doing anything to help the world.

Now I can just about gauentee there are a fair share of Christians who do nothing with thier life but sit on thier ass not helping anybody

G'DAY SILVERWIND.

What a great topic, You have posted. I was particularly interested in the last line, the truest words I have ever read.
I'm with you, everyone should be free to march to the music he/she hears and pray to the Deity of their choice and if they choose a path of atheism, that's their right of passage in this big world. All choices are fine, in so far as it is of no harm to anyone else. Tolerance for each others belief is paramount. I'm a volunteer and many of the volunteers in the organisation I'm in are what people label non believers or atheist. Truly loving and giving people, so it matters not a jot what someone's belief is, the main thing is they are good decent human beings. Love and ((((((HUGS)))))) from Dawnie.

A self-serving, egoistic atheist salutes you!

While the grand dragon and imperial wizard of evangelicalism are busy waging war from the comforts of the White House, the ranch in Crawford and Camp David, I as an atheist do care about a better world, so thanks for this entry!
