CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
How much longer?

This is where I really start shacking my head. Where on God's green Earth does anyone ever get the idea that simply because someone doesn't believe in God that they automatically think humanity is this relatively meaningless sack of chemicals?
Life and living doesn't automatically loose anything to someone just because they reject God.

If one believes they're more than a sack of chemicals, why would they believe that? On what basis?

But, why would a mere sack of chemicals believe they're more than a sack of chemicals? On what basis?

Man is a trichotomy: body, soul, spirit.
Scientists deny the soul and the spirit -- or at least define them contrary to the Scriptures.
Thus we are only ⅓ of what Christians say we are.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't voodoo teach that zombies are just dead bodies resurrected, with no soul or spirit?

I don't see that. the atheists I've talked to only reject the manner in which religion says we came into being.

You mean by God breathing into man the breath of life, and man becoming a living soul?
Are you telling me they accept that?

Did I not say that they reject what religion says we came into being?

I'm really not looking for a response, I'm looking for an answer.

A responce is an answer. Maybe not the answer you want, but an answer all the same.
Come to think of it, you never really responded to my post . I didn't want anything other than where you got the idea that people who reject God think of themselves as how you describe.

The idea comes from the fact that those who reject the view of a theistic creation, and instead embrace the view that they're the product of only a series of naturalistic processes, would have to face the fact that they're only an evolved sack of chemicals. If one were to believe otherwise, one would need to explain why they're more than an evolved sack of chemicals.

Even if it's detrimental to the society? where do you draw the line?
I would say there is free speech and then there is stupidity with society deciding what is stupid and what is not,
in the US it's money that decides what stupid is and for that reason religion and ignorance is supported and encouraged,
the masses can have the religion and while they're praying the top people can take all the money.

That's because religions give no answers all they give are feelings of inferiority and uselessness, the believer then needs to create a god to rid them of those feelings and lift them up to where their life has importance and meaning.
Religions make full use of our imaginations.

Any worldview would do this, religious or non-religious. Atheism's God is the individual who believe themselves to be more than a sack of chemicals, with their self-identification being more than just synapses firing in the brain. They assign, from within themselves, personal value and particular views of behavior which is moral or immoral.
For example, you apparently believe you're more than simply a sack of chemicals, with your subjective personal value entwined with revealing to others, of a different worldview than you, that feelings (wherever they come from, whatever their source) which are detrimental to themselves should be discarded in favor of your worldview which doesn't include such undesirable emotions such as "inferiority and uselessness". Somehow, you've concluded that you're a life form with superior thought processes and conclusions. From where does this come? What is the source for your thought process? What is the source for your imaginations?

First of all. You are setting up a strawman here which no one needs to respond to. Second of all it is the quality of the person themselves that grants them any relivancy in the world.
