I am sincerely sorry but you see that the problem with logic, it can't be wrong and if you say it is how about something that can be tested??? Sorry the joy you feel in your heart does not count. People feel joy in their hearts writing messages on bombs. Just because you feel it does not make it "logical".
Sorry I don't mean to be hateful.

and athiest will try to help educate you, but in the end you have to be willing to seek out the truth, and myth is not truth- its only a semblance of the truth. whether you choose to look past the semblance is either within you or not.
if you want to confine your awareness into a little box of religious dogma, then you make that choice. if i choose to expand my awareness to combine the logic of all religion/philosophy and my experience into a common denominitor to find truth, then that is my choice.

Son I like your style. When the heart is driving, logic is the backseat driver. The greatest logician to ever live, Solomon, wrote the Proverbs of the Bible. When you debate atheists remember "A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions." Their arrogance springs eternal "or Fools rush in where angels fear to tread". Sometimes a proverb goes out of style or degenerates into a cliche. The role of proverbs has changed over time, yet they remain popular. Son you might need to look in your Bible to Proverbs 23:9 "Do not speak to a fool, for he will scorn the wisdom of your words."

We'll use the word Philosophy too. Fundamental Militant Atheists want it ALL gone while they leave only the stain of secular materialism in their wake.
Don't want to believe me?? Look at the Eastern countries under atheistic governments to see what is happeneing to buddhists and taoists.
It does not matter if you are a theist or spiritualist. They want us all to assimilate to their world view. It is not limited to Christianity. It is religious-spiritual-theistic.
"Mythical??" Yeah. Atheists have their myths too. Ask me and I'll fire off a few.

Is a definition for this really necessary?? Fundamental atheists differ from spiritual atheists like Buddhist-Taoist-Nontheistic Religionists. Fundamental atheists lack any form of spirituality and are fundamental materialists.
Militants are the die-hard-in-your-face-shoving-down-your-throat atheists who are actively hell bent on infringing upon other people's right to believe their philosophies-religions-spiritualism. They do not hold to a to-each-their-own standard but to a to-each-my-own standard.
All theists =/= Materialists. Direct me to where I said ALL atheists are materialists. I did not. This is about FMA's.
"We don't want you to assimilate to our world view." We?? Are you a fundamental atheist? If so-if not --- why are you speaking for them??
Davis: I don’t know what you have against God, but some of us don’t have much against him. We look forward to him and his blessings. And it’s really a tragedy — it’s tragic — when a person who is engaged in anything related to God, they want to fight. They want to fight prayer in school.
I don’t see you (Sherman) fighting guns in school. You know?
I’m trying to understand the philosophy that you want to spread in the state of Illinois. This is the Land of Lincoln. This is the Land of Lincoln where people believe in God, where people believe in protecting their children.… What you have to spew and spread is extremely dangerous, it’s dangerous–
Sherman: What’s dangerous, ma’am?
Davis: It’s dangerous to the progression of this state. And it’s dangerous for our children to even know that your philosophy exists! Now you will go to court to fight kids to have the opportunity to be quiet for a minute. But damn if you’ll go to [court] to fight for them to keep guns out of their hands. I am fed up! Get out of that seat!
Sherman: Thank you for sharing your perspective with me, and I’m sure that if this matter does go to court—
Davis: You have no right to be here! We believe in something. You believe in destroying! You believe in destroying what this state was built upon.

Thank you Forum Fuzz. Are you the forum fuzz?? Do you have anything pertinent to say or is this another display of questionable intelligence by criticising a style and not the argument??
|---WHO ARE THE FMA POSTER CHILDREN??---|
Are you people playing Devil's Advocate here?? What's going on here with all the questions that have obvious answers?? I'm not here to coddle people who play dumb. You are playing --- Right??
|---ATHEISM: A DISBELIEF IN GOD/S---|
That is the general definition of atheism. FMA is another story like fundamental Christianity and Islam are another story from moderate and liberal Christianity and Islam. Every can of trail mix has their nuts. Can atheists acknowledge theirs??

...you just put Dawkins, Hitchens, and Harris in the same category as O'Hair?'
and you left out the 4th horseman, Dennet
it would be the same as me comparing the Popes to Hitler
what about Dawkins, Hitchens, and Harris do you have a problem with?
