Just wondering what your thaughts on this were. Frankly it scares me, if this catches on i fear for the future ao America and the rest of the world. America is a powerful country and if it falls into the wrong hands
(again) (someone like fred phelps) like one of these future adults of america well it could end up like a christian, very power version of a muslim country(or well of what the media potrays of a muslim country, not all muslims are fundamentalists) When i see the future i see world war three. But then again i could be going insane and taking this wayy out of proportion.

Islam has suicide bombers, Catholicism has pedaphile preists, and Christainity has fundamentalists.

 

[Guyfoo]

Ohh, i just seen that there was a simular thread written not to long ago, sorry about that, i didn't realise.

 

[Cactaur]

i remember watching this a while ago.
by the end of watching the tailer i was :O

Islam has suicide bombers, Catholicism has pedaphile preists, and Christainity has fundamentalists.

And what does atheism have?

And what does atheism have?

ammmm, tolerance? well most of us. You can't throw everyone in the same box.

 

[levi501]

And what does atheism have?

a smaller percentage of psychos?

 

[MercuryAndy]

And what does atheism have?

all of them

 

[loudatheist101]

We atheists have plenty of tolerance. Just look at the U.S. natinonal motto. ~_~

That's the wrong question. As Sam Harris put it, atheism is what people of common sense say in the presence of religious dogma. Not wishing at all to call theists "people of no common sense", I'll say that they are people who have not applied their common sense to religion.

A better question might be "Islam has suicide bombers, Catholicism has paedophile priests, Protestants have fundamentalists, and what does democracy have?"

 

[LouTheWicked]

Recruiting young children to enforce your beliefs in an attempt gain power... Hmmm, who else do we know who did that?

Tolerance? Please define atheist tolerance as the traditional meaning of it has been somewhat distorted.

No, you don't. Pierre Eugene du Simitiere (the inventor of the "E pluribus unum" motto) had true tolerance, atheists of today have cowardice, the "give-in and maybe they won't insult us" mentality.

You are in dire need of defining what "common sense", according to atheist standards, is. Care to explain why only atheists seem have sense, despite the obvious lack of it in their arguments.

As for the pedophilia: True, there are a few unsubstantiated accusations made against priests, about 4,150 over the past 50 years, which equals out to about 83 per year. Whereas in two months, in one county, by three teachers, there were three acts of pedophilia committed by teachers against a student. Since there are 3,150 counties across the country, I'll let you people figure out a number for this one about how many atheists commit acts of pedophilia in a school in one year alone (and this isn't talking about those outside of school).

So, what does atheism have again?

By the way, here's the source:

It has? Not taht I've seen. I'll go with the traditional meaning.

No, you don't. Pierre Eugene du Simitiere (the inventor of the "E pluribus unum" motto) had true tolerance, atheists of today have cowardice, the "give-in and maybe they won't insult us" mentality.

Can you support this rather ridiculous claim?

A 'few' 'unsubstantiated'? Are you kidding?

about 4,150 over the past 50 years, which equals out to about 83 per year.

The fact that there were acts committed by teachers is completely irrelevant to the fact that there were acts committed by priests. Unlike the RCC, no teachers' organisation claims to be the moral light of the world.

And the link you gave refers mainly to a single case of a teacher and a 15 year old boy - not paedophilic, sorry. I wouldn't call it child abuse by any stretch of the imagination. There is nothing in the article to indicate the boy was in any way coerced, reluctant or distressed.

So, what does atheism have again?

Sorry, but nothing you've offered suggests anything about what atheism might have. Certainly, you've given nothing at all to indicate that any of the teachers concerned were atheists.

 

[Ampoliros]

Every group has its weirdos. Atheists aren't exempt from this. Jesus Camp was a bit out there, sure, but hardly indicative of all/most Christians.

 

[xMinionX]

Since when has teacher = atheist?

 

[kopilo]

And what does atheism have?

Idiots... No offence but an atheists tried to claim the other day because the mirical of resurrection (well like the one Jesus went through) has not happened at any other point in history there for it could not have happened... *head-desk* following the same logic others could claim the "big-bang" did not happen.

completely agree.

 

[Bananafish]

That video was extremely disturbing.

 

[JGG]

Wow, a thread about Jesus Camp...and we have a couple Christians expressing how much they hate atheists.

I guess you'll say it anywhere you can fit it in huh?
