Who said anything about copy and paste? And what could that have to do with anything?

The Religion of Atheism … Exposed in Ethics JoeUser Forums

I knew this great and wise woman who posted an article that is no longer administrable so I am going to try and fill her spiked hills (hahaha) as best I can and revisit something that has always puzzled me too. As a classical atheist, I am not at all concerned about such pleasures as heaven or hell but am intrigued with the religious phobia concerning what they like to refer to as the religion of atheism. Common sense would have me believe that a Muslim thinks they understand the religion of

What good is religion? in Ethics JoeUser Forums

Well I suppose it all matters on what religion is being considered and who is doing the considering. Most religions care little about most other religions why should they … it is no concern of theirs and has ho influence in their lives. I have found that most church doors are open to anyone who desires to enter. There are no main stream religions that cannot be easily investigated on the internet (the worldwide internet) because there is an overabundance of information available. If yo

Now as long as you restrict yourself to the bible, I am willing to call you a fit representative of Christianity even though you do not seem to know that much about it. You do not have to believe your own ears and eyes nor do you have to open your mind to the obvious. You are not at all required to believe or understand Science as you please
