Absolutely. The writer of the OP seems to be nothing more than an argument in search of a subject. And he needs, as you point out, to understand the difference between atheism and anti-theism. One is a rejection of an unsupported claim. The other is a criticism of the structures built around...

Yes, because that was the ONLY way of developing immunity in those days and parents wanted their kids to contract many of these diseases earlier, to avoid the serious complications that can occur if contracting them in adulthood. However, kids still had their measles turn into meningitis...

Oh good grief! Go back and read the OP. The question was one of MORAL right, not LEGAL right! Of course the Gummint doesn't have the LEGAL right to do things to your body like that. We are talking about your MORAL obligations to your fellow citizens.

Please remove your tinfoil hat at the door!

No, I'm quoting them! Verbatim.

You make no sense. And you're boring. Come back when you have something salient.

There is as much evidence that God/Allah/all the Hindu gods/Thor/Zeus/Apollo/Isis/Rainbow Serpent provide "benefits" as any fairy or goblin. That is - none.

Because humans are unique (as far as we know) in being able to contemplate our mortality. We know we will die. That scares many people. Many of those people will cling to any assurance that death is not final. Bingo. Religions and gods.

My sister works in a remote indigenous community in the centre of Australia as a youth worker and counsellor. She has just given birth to her second daughter. TB is still very common in those parts. She had her daughter vaccinated with the BCG vaccine to protect against the disease. Please...

And they quote the dangers of thimerosol in those 'cough, splutter'........'studies'. What a shame they fail to mention that thimerosol has been removed from childrens' vaccines!! Keep your tinfoil hat, junk science, conspiracy theorist nonsense to yourself! The rest of us will get on with...

Your assurances are worth nothing without evidence. Any time you'd like to present some would be peachy. Babies are born without a knowledge of gods and religions. They are taught these things. There is no evidence they have some innate 'twinkle' of awareness. The obvious support for this is...

You're 27. You have no idea what you are talking about. You have never seen someone suffering from the diseases those vaccines protect us from. You've likely never suffered from any of those diseases, because the parents of kids the same age as you protected YOU and their own kids by responsibly...

VaxTruth is yet another of the whacko anti-vax groups that have been spawned since the 1998 publication of a story (not a study, but a story) about supposed damage caused to kids by vaccination. The story was a fraud. The doctor responsible for the fraud (Wakefield?) has since been struck...

There was no category error. Gods, pixies, unicorns, fairies, etc, all belong to the category of 'things for which no evidence can be demonstrated'!

Many people in Ireland and Scotland still believe that fairies exist and that they can grant wishes. Do your research before making unsupportable assertions.

So, all you have to do now is provide evidence of that supposed 'twinkle'. But I don't think you can do that, right? What you CAN show is that, like me, you are atheistic towards the vast majority of claimed gods. And that you have been since birth. That this was your default position...

What!? Go back and read that again. Read the bolded part. They say exactly the opposite! That they DO have a personal relationship with their god. Wow. I'll bet you're a big fan of Orwell, right?

'Evidence' that you admit you can't produce. And all those people who worship other gods claim the same thing.

It really is quite simple - so simple that I think you're feigning ignorance. All babies are born with very, very little knowledge, outside of instinct. They know nothing of the world and nothing of the practices, beliefs and behaviors of other humans. They have to be taught many things in...
