Two years ago several polls showed that atheists made up about two thirds of the posters here (or at least always a majority). Now it seems like we are attracting a more educated, intelligent and enlightened crowd.

When you add up atheists, agnostics, none, buddhists, "I want to kick Bush in the family jewel," and "I do not have a religion, I have spirituality," we are still in the majority.

Too bad for you.

I mean, when he wrote the book, the whole war-on-drugs thing wasn't on yet, so 'opiate for the people' wasn't quite THAT negative.

Atheism...agnostism...everybody is trying to create one possible reason to disprove the existence of the Almighty, and having one heck of a hard time trying to do it.

Agnosticism isn't about disproving God at all. It's the opposite. It's saying God is unknowable. We can neither prove nor disprove God's existence.

He's just flamebaiting.

"When you add up atheists, agnostics, none, buddhists, "I want to kick Bush in the family jewel," and "I do not have a religion, I have spirituality," we are still in the majority."

Yes, but barely. The majority is nowhere near as big as it once was.

If we chuck in the Jews with the Christians, there are a total of 39, out of 88.

Buddhists? There is only one, me. Maybe I should go and convert some people.

I should of added the banana option. It seems bananas are popular now days. I wonder how turism is going for Honduras and Equador.

BTW, I remmeber reading somewhere that Marx wasn't quite THAT anti-religous. I mean, when he wrote the book, the whole war-on-drugs thing wasn't on yet, so 'opiate for the people' wasn't quite THAT negative. If IIRC he followed it up saying something like 'it is both a way to surpress the proletariat as a reaction of the proletariat to the supression.' Or something like that.

A lot of the anti-religious stuff came from the russian revolution.

wait... If you are a communist, why are you also christian?

I find the whole "communism = anti-Christian" thing rather humorous. Consider the following:

"And the congregation of those who believed were of one heart and soul; and not one of them claimed that anything belonging to him was his own, but all things were common property to them."

". . . For there was not a needy person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses would sell them and bring the proceeds of the sales and lay them at the apostles' feet, and they would be distributed to each as any had need."

Acts 4:32-35

Hmmmm . . .

I checked off "Other Christian" . . . whatever that could mean.

In my few wanderings, I've noticed that there are those who are Baptist, Catholic, Presbyterian, etc. And then, within some of these groups, is a minority group known as Christians.

August, this is your first post I see where you didn't misspell every other word. Please keep it this way, you are much easier to understand.

You also don't really believe in capital letters, it seems.

Just kidding.

Atheism is a funny thing. It almost takes as much faith to not believe in God as it does to believe in him.

Any more Jews show up I'm leaving.
