Been said wayyy too many times before... but: "If atheism is a religion then not collecting stamps is a hobby." Wow.. lol Anyway, since atheism isn't their motivation... I don't see the point to even bring it up.

There is no evidence that they were targetting the religious in particular.

Lol no it wasn't... are you claiming the reason communists comitted 'attrocities' was because they didn't believe in God? We see no evidence that this is a driving force behind their ideas any more than their likes/dislikes when it comes to food.

Yea I already know about those NDE's etc. I didn't read the article since I already knew a bit about it, but does it explain that astronauts/pilots being tested on how much G-forces they can handle also experience the same sort of thing as those whom claim NDE's?

lol loose change.....

I agree with KFunk if only because the idea that atheism has any real principles that can lead to evils is silly. Atheism is at most the lack of certain principles.

How well you do in university/school does not show that you have a 'concentrated focus', I have recieved HD's for assignments I've done on the day, all that doing well in university/school shows is that you did well - don't read any more into it than that. I do not need a 'concentrated focus'...

Will it make me giggle? Please just tell us it, I really want to hear.

Is it a good one to hear?

Well I try to be as critical as possible, but from what I can see you'd only accept someone as being 'critical' when they agree with you. See when this sort of stuff isn't backed up by quotes and you asking for expanations, then it just seems like name calling. As for questioning my 'thinking...

For one, people claiming to be abducted by aliens. What do you think is 'insane' though? First of all, the flat earth thing has I think been shown to be a bit of a myth. Secondly yes I would disagree with someone, this is how science moves forward - Disagreement, critical evaluation of...

Well it doesn't really need to be an 'illusion' or a 'hallucination' for you to be tricked into believing you're seeing something you're not really seeing. You can just not be thinking critically enough or the trick can just be too clever for you. Why is that? Why do you think illusions cannot...

I think you may have missed a problem with your logic... It's true that even in societies where there was a lower presence of religion, attrocities were still comitted, does this take away from the attrocities that are a direct cause of religion? No, it just means that there are still problems...

Many people claim to see alot of things. I don't doubt that many people may 'experience' whatever you're describing, but in reality there would be a much more mundane explanation than any supernatural one they probably attribute to it. Unfortunately it has little to do with 'intelligence' and...

It becomes much more of a problem when it comes to personal experiences i.e. feelings. I don't think it presents much of an issue when it comes to using witnesses or testee's (lol) as I think the possibility of any issue that may affect their ability to properly report can be eliminated, to a...

I don't know what exactly that statement relates too, but it's the best knowledge we have, even if you might think that ultimately it is 'weak'. I don't know what this means, but it seems to contradict with: Please understand though that I have a hard time pinpointing what you actually mean...

Via the scientific method.

No I think by the very definition people of faith have no evidence to support their belief, not just 'some'. Can you quote the post? i.e. What I said and what it was in response too? It would depend what it was. Most likely I'd look for a review of this work by other similarily minded people...

I quoted a shitload of what you said, if you think I failed to address something can you please point it out... I'm really getting pretty frustrated by you constantly saying you have a problem with something but never actually pointing it out.

Nah I don't really want you to shut up, I'd like you to start making sense with some of your posts though or at least when I ask a question about it to explain it to me. I can't argue against rhetoric. Perhaps it is, so maybe you should start helping me by answering my questions. Can you...
