Atheists in South Carolina »
Posted By RickyDawkins 1 year, 1 month ago in NewsA Myrtle Beach man and admitted atheist was attacked and robbed on Thursday night by a group of men who took offense to an anti-Christian phrase on his windshield. Despite what he wrote, the reaction was far worse and the coverage was despicable. The expression 'admitted atheist' is unacceptable. The article's use of 'admitted' is editorializing.

"I think the new interest in atheism is terrific," Silverman says. "I hope it convinces more people to come out of the closet. When people tell me I am the first atheist they ever met, I generally respond: 'No I'm not. You've met thousands of atheists. I'm just the first person you knew was an atheist.' The more people that acknowledge their non-belief in any deities, the less we will be stereotyped. There are good and bad atheists, good and bad Christians, and good and bad in all other groups. I hope someday that people will be judged more on their actions than on their professed religious beliefs. If all 30 million atheists acknowledged who they are, that action alone would change our culture."

Atheism is there from the beginning and it just couldn't rear it's ugly head above the religious level because the religious teaching are far superior to Atheistic teaching of greedy and vain desires of individuals. It is like homosexuality or lesbianism based on feelings and unnatural behavior. Atheism is against the nature of every creature on the planet earth. it will not survive it just thrives on the religious discords of people. What happened to the Soviet Union and the Communist Atheists, their fortress came down tumbling and they lost everything they built with iron fist. And also Athiesm it is similar to parasites on its own it cannot survive, it needs Darwins and Dawkins to teach unnatural things. I'll be around if you need to refute what I have said.

Atheism--the absence of belief in God--is not at all unnatural. Animals have no such belief. Religion was developed AFTER atheism. You will notice that there is no evidence of animals, who live an existence as "natural" as possible, believing in God. They do not pray; they do not worship.
And atheism alone does not teach "greedy and vain desires of individuals." Rather, it is simply lack of belief in a concept developed by man, after he'd been around for awhile. I would argue that belief in God is "unnatural."
Notice I make no claim whatsoever about whether God exists. But the disbelief in God's existence is akin to a lack of belief in gravity--it existed before anyone ever thought about gravity, before that idea was invented. Any other claims you may ascribe to atheists are added to the concept.
I will admit that there are some atheists who add other implications to the idea of disbelief. But not all do, and it is not inherent in the concept.

I am an atheist and consider myself far more charitable than the followew of Joel Onstein that said "the Good Samaratin is no longer a useful role model for Christians."
I am straight, not gay.
I don't feel paticularly vain, I look in mirrors to make sure I don't look like complete crap when I go out in public.
RELIGION, as taken over by extremists, is the parasite of the human soul.
In the 1970's you could even be a hippie and love Jesus. Remember songs like Spirit in the Sky or One Toke Over the Line? Then the new Fundamentalists said no! Get out of this church! Meanwhile embracing white supremacism (1980's and 90's) and fascist hate in general, culminating in the numerous Christian based gay killings on American city streets.
Then shoving "President" George W. Bush at us, and following his un-American policies right to Hell.
Fundamentalis Christians have done more to drive people from Christianity than all the atheists put together.

Oh puhleeze, enough of the homosexuality is unnatural crap. You use air conditioning, vinyl seats in your car, and wear sunglasses. None of those creature comforts are natural, but you sure want them around in the summer. Most of the food we eat is no longer natural, but you put it in your body. Atheism, unlike parasitic creatures such as televangelists, do not go around hawking ideas for handouts and cash. If religionists could see themselves on television as the leeches and drain on society that they are, perhaps we would not need articles such as this. Honestly daylight, you do push my patience.
